August 30, 1890A brakeman by the name of Bryant was killed last Sunday night at the Apishapa bridge, near Sybil. He was standing on top of the car and his head struck the overhead timber, crushing it almost beyond recognition, and killing him, it was supposed, instantly. He was found lying on top of the car by the conductor, and was brought here immediately by train No. 6, which arrived at 11:30 pm. He came here but recently, and had brought his wife to Pueblo for her health. Bryant was formerly a baggageman here and has been on the road for a number of years, but was making his first run as a brakeman, when he met his untimely end.
