accident has long been expected, and
on last Saturday night while trying to
board a west bound freight Chas. Corbin
wasa most instantly killed. The funeral
took place on last Monday. A large
crowd uttended the funeral, which was
one OF the saddcst that was ever wit

his friends, tho hotel proprictross cx-
