A COUNTY CONVICT KILLED.

The freight train ON the Seaboard Air
Line. passing Johnston Street Station
near midnight Friday night. ran over
and killed negro named John Gibson.
He was trying to steal ride and
fell between the cars. Several wheels
passed over his body mutilating it almost
beyond recognition
Gibson was a convict. and was serv-
ing five-year sentence ON the county
roads. He began serving his sentence
ON Monday and on Wednesday he es-
capped and has succeeded In ending the
officers since. He has evidently been
hanging around the outskirts of the
city awaiting an opportunity to board
some northbound train. His chance
came Friday night and he was killed
while getting on a car OF the moving
freight.
None of Gibson's relatives claimed the
body and it was inferred by the railroad

the wolves that beset him at every turn
he'd no doubt be content to live the
safe balance of his years in the settle
ment of privacy. No more wild and
wcolly wildernesSes of offce-hunting for
Russell.
