KILLED By
A TRAIN
NEGRO FOUND DEAD ON B. G. B.
TRACK YESTERDAY
MORNING.

John Williams, a well known country
negro, was found dead on the track Of
the Brunswick & Birmingham railroad
yesterday morning His body was
badly mangled. and it is thought that
he was killed by the regular passenger
tIain which arrived here at 10:30
Thursday night
AS soon as the news reached the city
hat the body had been found, Coro
ner Jennings secured a jury and went
to the scene, about six miles from the
city, to hold an inquest. After thor
ough investigation, the jury, which
was composed of the following gentle
men, H. H. Harvey, w A. Hackett
s. Augustine, D. A. Curry, Joe Bor-
chardt and Thomas Hackett, returned
a verdict that the deceased met his
death by a train ON the Brunswick &
birmingham railroad, and that the road
was in no wise responsible for the ac-
cident.
1t see ans that Williams had been eel
ebrating Christmas and when last seen
was under the influence Of whiskey. 1t
is thought that he stal ted for his home
in the country early in the evening
and either 1ell asleep on the track or
was knocked Off.

Life BY Too ,uuch Celebration.
Jim Galloway, a well known negro
hack driver, came very near losing
life Christmas night and received a
wound in his breast from a 32-calibre
pistol
1t seems that jim was somewhar
loaded and went to his home on Eg
nloin street to have rough house
lie pulled out his pistol and began to
handle it promiscuously when some Of
the others in the house endeayored to
secure the weapon before he shot
someone. In the struggle the pistol
went off, the ball entering the negro's
breast about half an inch below his
heart The wound, however, did not
prove to be a serious one, and the ne
gro was on his hack as usual last
night.

quaIreIs often occur mostly among
the negroes.
