LITTLE LIFE IS ENDED
UNDER AN ENGINE,
Struck Down By Wheels of
Engine.
SAD ACCIDENT NEAR AMERIcUs.
Baby Daughter of MIR. chas. Wright
Struck BY Central Train and instantly
KilIed-Grief Stricken Parents Near
at Hand.

The killing Of the baby daughter of
Mr.. ard Mrs. Charles Wright by a
Central Railroad passenger train near
Americas yesterday was one of the
most heart-rending accidents that has
ever occurred here, and made scene
of grief that onIookers will not very
soon forget.
The fatal accident occurred at
Hodges Mil, in Sumter county, ten
miles distant.
Almost IN the presence of the mother
and father their baby girl, four years
of age, was struck down by the engine
and It's little skull crushed by the heavy
pilot beam
Tne train was coming to Americus at
noon yesterday, and was passing
Hodges Mill at the usual speed. It is
said that just as the locomotive round
ed curve the little child, who haG
been at the mill with her father, un-
COZ scious OF danger, stepped upon the
railroad track.
The tran was upon her in q second
and oil was oyer.
The mother Of the child was CASHIER
ing vegetables in her garden near the
track, and seeing the train come to an
abrupt stop she came forward to learn
the cause.
When informed by Revenue Collec-
tor Richardson, of Americus, passen-
ger aboard the train, that little child
had been killed, the poor woman
shrieked in her grief and anguish, and
tainted just as her husband reached
the scene.
"Why, Oh why have you killed my
baby" she walled out 10 her frenzied
grief, as the engineer came up. "Why
didn't you see her. Why didn't you
stop the train?"
But no human could have stopped
train in that short distance.
The father, almost beside himself,
seized the little dead holy and ran off
towards the house, as if seeking help
from some source But no human
agency could restore fhe little life
crushed out.
From all accounts, it seems that the
child had been at the mill with it's
father, fishing, and had started alone
to the house, carrying in her hand the
little fishing pole she had used. Pro-
baby not hearing the approaching
train she stepped upon the track just
ahead of the engine.
As quickly as possible the train was
stopped, the conductor, engineer and
passengers going back to the scene.
It was a heart-rending one, but all
they could do was to sympathize with
the stricken parents.
