w. +. Armheld, the young man who
was SO badly injured by freight train
Monday night, died at the poorhouse
infirmary at midnight Tuesday. We'd
nesday morning his father arrived, and
in the afternoon took the remains back
to his home at Mount Airy. N. c., for
burial. 1t Is thought here by several
by the long wait whilst the miserably
dirty room WAS put In some kind OF
order to receive the injured man may
have had somewhat to do with his
death. The room was built for an in
Urinary for just such cases, and yet
there was hardly single comfort or
convenience In 1t when Arm6eld was
taken there, besides which the floor was
so filthy that DR.. Killian informed the
correspondent he was afraid to ampu-
tate the mans leg until the room had
been cleaned.
1t seems evident that the town au-
thorities cannot keep this room ready
for emergencies and therefore Justice
Camper suggests that they turn this
and the adjoining room over TO the
olent association, giving the keys and
absolute control. The rooms will then
be properly furnished and kept ready
for the next unhappy sufferer, and as
ono room can be used for white and one
for colored, no one, be they ever 80 I'm.
fortunate or humble, need perish for
the lack of attention and the necessa-
ries for badly injured men.
