STORY OF ANGUS BROWNS SAD
DEATH.
BODY HURLED MANY feet
While Watching Sons Approach
Parent Sees Him Killed and
Mangled.

H. N. Kennedy, agent of the North
ern Pacific, has received a copy of
the Albany, N. Y, Times-Union con
tanning the particulars of the tragic
death of Angus Brown, superintend-
Tent of motive power of the New York
Central, which occurred at that place
last Tuesday. Mr.. Brown was we'll
known in this city because of his
former connection with the Northern
Pacific at Livingston and was one of
the most popular employees of the COM
pany. AS a citizen he was always re
garGed with the greatest respect and
when the news of his untimely taking
off was received it caused a feeling
Of profound regret in all who had
known him.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Ken
nedy The Gazette is enabled to re-
print the following account of the
sad affair, taken from the paper nam
ed:
with his aged mother watching
and waiting for her son to come to
dinner just before noon today, Angus
Brown, division superintendent of mo-
tive power of the New York Central
company, was killed within sight of
his home. Brown, with his mother and
sister, occupied what was formerly
the Buchanan house, on top of the
hill at the north end of New York
Central avenue, over looking the New
York Central tracks.
"Mr. Brown was as years of age, a
Widower, and since the first of July
last had been in the employ of the
company, having come from Chicago.
He left the West Albany shops
and was crossing the tracks when
he was struck by a passenger train,
at New York Central avenue. His
mother was in one of the rear rooms
of the house waiting for him and was
a witness of the horrible accident
which robbed her of a loving son.
Detective Jackson of the company
and Martin O'Heaney, also an en-
ploye of the company, were standing
at the crossing and saw Mr.. Brown
approaching. He first reached the
down track, when he slipped and fell.
Train No. 16, As minutes late, came
bowling along and before Mr.. Brown
could recover the pilot of the locomo-
tive struck him and hurled him 20
feet beside a telephone pole. The
top of his head was crushed in and
his body and limbs mangled, killing
him instantly.
"On the arrived of Coroner Schupp
the remains were removed to Mr..
Browns late home. After being ex-
amined by DR.. Uhlman, Tebbet Bros.
took charge.
Mr.. Brown was one of the most
popular men in the employ of the
company and a great favorite."

CHAPTER II.
BLACK DOG APPEARS AND DIS
APPEARS.


1t was not long after this that there
occurred the first of the mysterious
events that rid us at last of the can
tain, though not, as o will see, of his
affairs. 1t was a bitter, cold winter,
with long, ard frosts and heavy
gales; n 1T was plain from the first
that my poor father was little likely
to see the spring. He sunk daily and
my mother and l had all the inn upon
our hands, II were kept busy
enough without paying much regard to
our unpleasant guest.
1T was II January morning, very
early-a pinching, frosty morning-the
cove all gray with hoar-frost, the rip
pie tapping softly on the stones, the
sun still low, and only touching the
hilltops and shining far to seward.
The captain had risen earlier than
usual, and set out down the beach, his
cutlass swinging under the broad
skirts of the old blue coat, his brass
telescope under his arm, his hat tilted
back upon his head. / remember his
breath hanging like smoke in his wake
as he strobe off, and the last sound /
heard of him, as he turned the big
rock, was a loud snort of indignation,
as though his mind was still running
upon DR.. Livesey.

fighter. l had always my eyes open

where l was with my napkin in my
hand.

be called the captain, as like as not.
