FIVE FRIENDS KILLED

Five Greek laborers, employes of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroad, were 
instantly killed recently near Lowellville, Ohio, when run down by a fast 
passenger train. The men were working on the track and did not become aware of 
the train's approach. Ten others jumped just in time to save themselves. The 
five men killed were all personal friends of Louis G. Rouskey, proprietor of 
the Arcade restaurant and Arcade billiard hall in Stevens Point [Wis]. All 
come from Patras, Greece, which is Mr. Rouskey's birthplace. James Deodores, a 
cousin of Mr. Rouskey and who has worked in Stevens Point at times during the 
past year or two, was one of those who escaped death by jumping. He wrote that 
the train missed him by inches.
