Former watertown Man Killed on
 Saturday Night.

Saturday Night.
 George Jackson, aged 35, colored, was struck by freight train in the Pomeraug Valley on Saturday night, and instantly killed. When the engi- ner of the train first saw the man, he was pulling his train around sharp curve in the road, and when he saw the apparent helpless body of a man lying across the tracks, it was too late 10 avoid disaster. The body of Jack son was horribly mangled. MT Jack son was seen in Southbury early on Saturday night, and was not intoxi- cated. 1t is feared that some foul play befel him, as he was quarrelling with another of his race. the same evening. and it is thought that he was drugged and thrown across the track to avoid detection. Every clue to the case, will be followed up closely.
