Golliday, John - beaten on train
Source: Crawfordsville Review 18 June 1892 p 4
John Golliday has reached New Ross in a precarious condition. He was enroute from Kansas in a freight car with his household goods and he reports that after leaving Peoria a brakeman entered his car and demanded whiskey. Golliday answered that he had none and after threatening him, the brakeman left. Still later Golliday laid down to sleep in which he was struck twice by the brakeman, who had armed himself with a car pin. Golliday was terribly injured and he received no surgical attention until reaching New Ross. -s
