coIored Man Killed on the N. & w.

Lindsey Taylor. a highly respected
colored man, for twenty years in the ser
vice Of the Norfolk and Western Railroad,
passed Ripon station northward as a
track walker at $500 Sunday morning. and
thirty minutes later was brought back
there on train No. with the whole of the
frontal bone of his head crushed into his
brain. Doctors Osburn, Neil and Ran
son removed the entire frontal bone. but
death ensued few minutes thereafter
Taylor had been struck by the southbound
train named above, and an eye witness
who was on the engine says that he was
lying with his head and shoulders on the
track, and raised up just in time to re-
ceive blow from the cylinder OF the en-
CINE. all efforts to stop the train in time
after he was seen being futile.
