Two Men Mangled to Death.

Our Moline correspondent sends US an
account of the violent death of a man Oh
the G. R. |, & ?. r. r., last night and
here is another on the Rock Island & S..
Louis road:
About IL clock last night, while Oscar
Davidson, brakeman on the St. Louis
road, was attempting to uncouple an en-
CINE from a moving freight train at Mon
mouth Crossing, his foot slipped, he fell
on the track, and three or four cars passed
over his body, cutting it in two, besides
otherwise horribly mangling other portions
of his body He was instantly killed.
Deceased was brother-ln-law of Con
ductor VIM. Kingdom, on whose train he
was brakeman. Davidson was about
% years of age, and was married. living in
the same house with Mr.. Kingdom, in this
citY-the John Wilson house, brick
building on the east side Of 10Th street
just north of the St. Louis railroad track
where it cuts through that block, He
had lived in this city only about two weeks
aud had been employed on the road but ;
few days. He came here from the town O
Vermont, in Fulton county, this state
where he had been farmer. He was n,
railroad man-and his partuer on tn,
train told MIN he'd get killed before he't
been on the road two weeks and th,
prophesy unfortunately proved true.
Upon hearing of the sad accident, Mrs
Kingdom, his sister, and his wife, startet
for Monmouth this morning.
| Gen. Dana, superintendent of the road
also went to Monmouth to attend to al
arrangements connected with the funeral
(which will take place from Vermont,
