TRAGIC DEATR.
Tom Cole Killed by Train at Hicks
Bluff.

Last Thursday afternoon about
4 o'clock the engine of passenger
train No. 2 struck Mr.. Tom Cole
who was sitting on the track and
inflicted q wound on the head from
which ne died next morning. A
small section of the skull was
crushed and the projectiIe penetrat-
ed the brain. The tissue of the
brain was broken in such a manner
that the wound was necessarily fa-
tai. He was brought to Pulaski
and received every possible atten-
ton at the hands of DIR. c. A. Aber-
nathy, the physician employed by
the railroad company. Mr.. Cole
leaves a widow and several small
children. His father and mother
are also living. Their grief is inten-
slfied by the fact that he was intox-
icated at the time OF his death 1t
is said some colored women tried
to induce him to leave the track
but he became violent and they
were forced to desist. The acct
dent occurred near Hicks bluff,
the scene of the recent wreck, and
at various times in the past, the
scene of several tragedies. All wit
nesses agree that the engineer did
all ia his power to prevent the cat
astrophe and the jury of inquest
find their verdict accordingly.
