DEATH OF D. C. CALVERT.
The facts leading to the horrible accident
resulting In the death of d. g. Calvert, al
near as we can get them. are as follows: Or
Tuesday afternoon. the TIN OF March. as ht
was returning from Abbevile TO his home
near Hodges. the train stopped at Darraugh'i
Turnout and he jumped of, and as the lrail
moved off he attempted to board It. but from
some cause or other was precipitated unde
the rolling wheels. which crushed one of hil
legs, and before the situation was taken II
and the train could he stopped his body wa
dragged some distance, causing painful apt
train stopped his almost lnsensible form was
taken up and placed as comfortably as pos
sible In the car. On the arrival Of the trair
at Hodges, Doctors Lee and Cason we're called
and upon examination found 1t necessary Il
amputate the crushed leg, which opperatlor
was successfully performed by them at once
but the injuries which be sustained proved tot
much for his physical nature, and about
O'Clock Wednesday morning following b
breathed his last.
TIE deceased was in his 10th year, and hat
always led an active life. He was q member
of the knights of Honor and carried insur
ance for two thousand dollars, which witt
his comfortable home will leave bis wife anC
children at least In easy circumstances
Only a few days before his untimely, and I'm
expected death he had paid his premium on
his insurance.
