struck bs Another Train and
Dies Within Two Hours

George Bryson, a white boy II years
old, has for some time been employed in
the factory of the c. L. Graham Manu-
featuring company, in which his father
also worked. The boy lived with his
parents in one of the tenement houses on
the river side of the factory.
Yesterday afternoon the boy finished
his DAYS work and went home, and
about + O'Clock was sent by his mother
down the track of the Western North
Carolina railroad to pick up coal that had
dropped from the engines and cars in pass
ing.
Young Bryson was doing his work as
hidden, and while walking on the track
near the round house was warned by
someone near of the approach of a train
on the track on which the boy was
walking. The warning was needed, and
Bryson stepped onto parallel track, on
which another train was approaching
Before the boy knew of the second
trains proximity it struck him
He was knocked down and two of the
cars passed over him before the train
could be stopped. The wheels passed

the spot, with tender hands bore the boy
to his home, and Drs. w. D. Hilliard and
l.. b. McBrayer were summoned. They
| could do nothing to save the boys life

accident occurred.
When the little sufferer was taken te
