George Smallwood, carpenter by

the train started and he found it 60
ing south instead Of north he attempt
ed to get Oft, and in doing 50 fell and
was being dragged along, still holding
on to the train; that when he reached
the cattle stop on the south side of
the turnpike crossing the wheels Of
the car caught his legs and passed
over them, cutting one OF them Oft
near the thigh and crushing the 9th
er fearfully below the knee. AS the
terribly injured man never spoke az
ter his condition was discovered, no
account could be obtained from him
as to how the dreadful event was
brought on. He fingered until about
+ o'clock on Tuesday morning, when
death put an end to his suferings
The body of the unfortunate man was
taken to Charlestown for interment
After investigating the occurrence a
