! -Casie Dorsey. aged hiteen, son OF
the agent at Chelsea. lost his life last
Thursday by being run over. Con.
ductor Fox's train, east bound, was
doing some switching and Casey was
hanging on the end Of coal car. As
II was backed down against stand
ing car tile bows hold was Jared loose
and he fell. The wheels passed over
his right shoulder and hand, and left
leg, while by the brake beam he was
dragged fifteen or twenty feet. With
rs little delay rs possible the train
was brought to this town aud Drs.
Fortner and Bagby at once taken out
on special. The arm and leg we're
both smputated but upon taking the
arm of at the shoulder joint, IL was
discovered that the shoulder had been
terribly bruised, and recovery OF the
unfortunate boy was then shown to be
impossible. lie fingered until eight
O'Clock that evening, and apparently
suffered but very little. No blame
whatever is attached to anyone con-
necieJ with the train. Casie was
very bright little fellow and a general
favorite with both the railroad and
town people. His terrible fate should
be warning TO boys in this town and
every other, who are seen each day Of
the week playing about the tracks and
jumping moving cars.
Prof. Willard a magician and mes
merist, has been giving exhibitions at
Halsell's opera house this week. lie
was very successful as q mesmerist,
and the capers cut by John and Andy
Green were amusing. John was given
a rod and went to fishing and when by
mishap he fell into the imaginary
stream, the alacrity with which he
jerked off his coat and wruug out the
water, set the audience in an uproar.
Andy was induced 20 believe the bees
were swarming upon him aud began
shedding his raiment like a eight
ming change" man. Had not the
professor inteffered there is no telling
just where lie would have stopped
probably at the skin.
