Instantly Killed on Central Tracks near Dexter.

He Was Walking on the Track When East-Bound N.Y. and Boston Special Struck Him.

William Cusic, of Brighton, aged about 20, was struck by the east-bound New York and Boston Special, which passes through Ann Arbor at 4:58, on Wednesday evening and instantly killed. The accident occurred about a mile west of Dexter. At this point the road has a double track, and Cusic was walking on the track. It is supposed that he thought the train was on the other track from the one he was walking on. The body was taken to Dexter and a coroner's inquest is being held, the jury having adjourned until today. Cusic's body was badly mangled, but his face was untouched. His father, brother and a sister live in Green Oak, and another sister lives in Webster. The train was an hour late passing through Ann Arbor.
