Huntington, May 28 - Hugh Faulkner, 13; former son of Ed Faulkner, blacksmith, of Eighth avenue, and Thirteenth street, died in a hospital ambulance at the Chesapeake & Ohio station forty-five minutes after he had been struck by a switching engine at about 6 o'clock Sunday evening. The accident occurred on the main lines of the Chesapeake & Ohio, at a point about midway between Eleventh and Twelfth streets. An added touch of the pathetic is given to the tragedy by the fact that it has been much less than a year since Carroll Faulkner, a few years older than his brother Hugh, met sudden death, having hanged himself, presumably by accident, in his gymnasium in his father's barn loft. So unusual were the circumstances of this first tragedy that its details are still well remembered by a great many people, and the second tragedy brought the affair back to the public mind with sickening freshness.
