Killed an Innocent Fellow,
Who Was Sitting on
a Flat Car.
SCARED BY A SUDDEN STONE.
Owen Lost His Life BY the lnexcusabIe
CareIessness of the Railway E
Operator.

West Point, Ca, April THE rail-
way agent at Cusseta, Ala made a
terrible mistake last night.
Some one, evidently with mere mis-
chlevous intent, threw stone against
the wall of the railway office. The
agent got frightened, and, taking his
pistol, went to the door. Hoping to
scare off supposed assailants he fired
at random.
The bullet struck Erwin Owen IN
the head, killing him instantly. Owen
was sitting on a fiat car near by, but
was not seen by the agent when he
fred the fatal shot.
