GASTON Gazette, Au-

was crushed between freight cars here
on Saturday afternoon. His name was
Jonas Knox and his home was in Toe

employed in that position the company
has him read and sign an agreement
that if he goes between the cars to
couple them, he does so at his own,
and not the company's risk. '...''''.Mrs.
