A Woman Killed by the Cars.

Mrs. Mary E. Leach, of Engles
Station, this county, was instantly
killed Monday evening about SIX
o'clock by the B, G. o. accommodation
train while walking on the tracks near
"Dust's Crossing" Mrs. Leach had
been up the road to visit her daughter
Mrs. Sallie Mehan, who lives about
one mile west of Engle's, and was Ie-
turning to her home when she met
death. She was walking east on the
west track so that she might see any
approaching train, but was not looking
out for any train that might come
from the west. An east-bound freight
had broken in two on the main track
about the time No. IA was due at En-
giles, and as the third track was in use,
No. IA was sent east over the west
bound track. 1t was while No. IA was
using the west-bound track that Mrs.
Leach was struck. The supposition is
that Mrs. Leach, hearing a train ap-
preaching from the west, took it as a
matter of course that the train was on
the east-bound track. 1t was growing
dark at the time and a glance back
would hardly have shown her that the
train was running on the west track,
as there is curve at the point where
the train struck her.
When No. IA came around the curve
with engine SIS, and Engineer Trout
at the throttle, the train was too close
upon the woman to avoid the accident.
She was walking in the middle Of the
track and the bumper caught the I'M
fortunate woman squarely in the back,
throwing her clear off the track. When
she was picked up she was found all
in heap. There was not a cut OF
scratch on her but it appeared as ii
every bone in her body was broken.
The remains were removed to her home
and prepared for burial.
Mrs. Leach was widow aged fifty
nine years. She leaves four children

cinity of Engles.
