As the train was stopping the caboose gave a sudden lurch, throwing Gallimore from the rear platform where he had gone with the conductor. He fell under the engine attached to the rear end of the train and was instantly killed. Gallimore was intoxicated. He was a confirmed drunkard and was known as such to all the train men along the Wabash Road. He leaves a wife and three children.
