ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR,
Nelson Underwood, a Knoxville Printer
Found Dead,

With His Body Horribly Mansled by
Railroad Train.
Soon after daylight Wednesday morning
the section foreman of the Knoxville section
of the E. r., " & G. Railroad was going
down the track tightening up the joints of
the rails when he made CHASTITY discovery
of a human body horribly multi
ated on the track short distance
below the Southern Car Works. The re-
mains were almost past recognition. 1t was
some time before it was ascertained by par
ties who knew him that it was the body of
Nelson H. Underwood, a welLknown Knox
vile printers formerly employed in the
CHRONICLE Office.
Coroner R. Fl. Hood was sum-
m oned to the scene and empan-
neled the following jury of inquest !:
Geo. Womble, A. J. Hood Sam F. AID lie, J
P. Reeder, W. Fl. Grader, A. T. Reese and.
D. l.. Hood. DR.. A. B. Tadlock was also
summoned to examine the remains. All the
evidence obtainable was procured, but moth
ing of satisfactory nature could be ascer-
tanned as to the cause of death. No ev-
idence of violence could be found, aside
from the injuries received by
the train, and a verdict
was returned that the deceased came to his
death, apparently, by being run over by a
train.
/ The remains were brought to the city, and
will be buried this morning, as noticed else
| where.
| Nelson was a young man, just past twenty
| two years of age, and had learned his trade
/ in this Office. He leaves an aged mother,
brother and married sister, upon whom the
shock fell with terrible force, and who have
the profound sympathies of all.
Diuigent search and inquiry failed to re-
veal any satisfactory clue to the primary
cause and manner of the death. Nelson
had made preparations to go to Chatta-
nooga, and had purchased railroad ticket
Tuesday evening. The ticket was found in
his pocket, The last person by whom
he was seen, as far as we can learn,
was J. L. Ward, of the Atkin House
bar. Nelson babe him farewell few min
utes after Z o'clock Tuesday night, making
inquiry about the time of the departure Of
the freight train, and saying he was going tc
Chattanooga He was then under the in
fuence of intoxicating drinks. He went in
the direction of the car shed, but what be-
came of him after that, or how he came
on the track the distance of a mile
or two from the city is some
what enveloped in mystery, will
the information in our possession. Nelson
was known to have some little money in hi
pockets, early in the afternoon, and also
had small hand valise but that has not
been found and there was no money
in his pockets To all appearances thu
body must have been run over by train
bound east, but what train it was, is no
known.
