Killed by q Tree.

On Tuesday last Riley King, eolored
man in the employment Of Mr.. Howard
Muldrow, while going to his work, on Mr..
Wilson's railroad, lay sleeping, with his
head reclining upon ssck Of corn. While
lying there dead tree fell across the car
on which he was riding, and cut the sack
Of corn in half. But strange to say he suf-
fered no injury. Still it was to be q day
of doom for him in this line. He proceed
ed to his place of work, and before the day
was out, while cutting cross ties, tree or
limb from falling tree, struck him and
killed him. These were, indeed, singular
combination of accidents to besall any one
in so short Q time. And it would seem as
though the very narrow escape of the morn
ing, while on the railroad, would have
been sufficient warning to place him on the
lookout for the remainder of the day.
