linton: Isaac Willhoite, q young
man who worked for Paul Fisher un-
til short time ago, was found beside
the railroad track near Conway, No.,
OH the morning of Oct, 9th, with his
skull crushed in and his arm broken,
and died at II o'clock that day with
out regaining consciousness. His fa-
ther thinks he was murdered, but as
he had not been robbed, his watch
and money being undisturbed, it is
thought by others that he was at
attempting to get off of freight train
as it was running at full speed, at a
place where the railway passes with
in a mile of his home, and it being
dark he missed his landing and was
killed. The latter suppOsition would
seem to be correct.
