just word of warning to the young
men of North SALISBURY. Boys,
when you visit our village on Sunday
evenings, it would be wise to inquire
where certain young ladies live and
not brighten our young married peo-
pie by hiding behind trees, and by
looking in their windows to see if she,
whom you are looking for, resides
there. 1t would also save you from
making such quick moves and from
finding yourself face to face with re-
volver. This, we understand, is what
you had to contend with one week ago
last Sunday evening, after attending
the Easter concert.

COlOred LabOrer Struck and
Killed Near Stiles.
Lester O. Phifer, a Former Soldier,
the Name OF the Victim Thus
Killed.
THE INQUEST HELD TODAY

Lester @. Phifer, colored, lately dis
charged from the L. s. army, was run
over and instantly killed on the /. q.
road nesr Stiles, Louisville division,
last night by a local freight train.
The negro was run over by freight
No. l5l, in charge of Conductor
Kiukie, Engineer Henry Frisz and
Fireman Tim Austin about 8 o'clock
last night on curve where the negro
had gone to sleep. The train was
making good time and when the
curve was reached Engineer FIisz saw
the man sitting on the rails, head
down, and Immediately turned of
steam end used every possible means
10 stop the train and prevent striking
the sleeper. The wheels cut the body
in two just at the waist and killed the
man instantly.
Coroner William Peal of this city
was sent for and left this morning
with the train crew for Stiles TO hold
an inquest.
The negro had been working about
the section at stiles for several days
and formerly wore an army suit
which. it is understood, he sold Sat
urday. From information secured
from persons who had seen him Sun
day night it was learned that Phifer
had been drinking and was evidently
in a drunken stupor when killed. No
information could be secured by the
railroad authorities relative to his
home and people, the man having
been in that locality short time
only
TIE body was brought TO the city
this morning and Coroner Peal held
an inquest, the verdict being that he
came to his death while sitting asleep
on an l. g. track III an intoxicated
condition, n train striking him, and
that no one is to blame for the acct.
dent The remains will probably be
buried in the county graveyard here.
