Met a Horrible Death.

Two highly respected citizens OF
this county, Messrs Benjamin Shep-
herd and Martin Riser, were almost
instantly killed at Tabs grade, about
9 O'Clock Saturday night. The men
had been to the commissary store at
Myers hole and were returning home
by way of the B. & O. railroad. A
fast freight train going east had
broken in two, and the engineer and
fireman had taken the first section to
Fauver's near this city. The conduc-
tor had walked back from the rear
section to flag passenger train, and
when the engineer had placed the
first section in the siding, had started
back for the other section with the
engine running backward. There was
no headlight to attract the men,
attention and freight train going
west prevented them hearing the
noise, so they were run down and
horribly mangled by the empty engine
as they were walking on the east
track. A special train from this city
was sent to the scene of the accident
and conveyed the bodies to this city.
A coroner sinquest was heldat Wilen's
undertaking establishment where the
bodies were taken Sunday morning
and the railroad company exonerat-
ed from all blame. The bodies were
taken to their homes for burial.
Mr.. Shepherd was an industrious
farmer residing on Mr.. Decatur He'd
ges farm. He was about IS years OF
age and is survived by wife and two
small children. His funeral took
place Monday. Mr.. Riser was son
of Mr.. Geo. Riser of North Mountain,
and an intelligent young gentleman.
His remains were laid to rest on
Tuesday morning at Snyders church
yard.
