by a train at Fulton. The Leader
says: "'There is no report to show
that any one was injured recently here
by an engine. A man in a drunken
condition with the description Of
Shields attempted to take the town
and was landed on by a heavyweight
and possibly by the force of the blow
he saw stars and thought it was an en-
