BLOOD ON ENGINE

RuEsOME STORY
OLIVER N. CLASS and EARL
GD00LITTLE THE VICTIMS

A west Dound freight, drawn by
engine 2247, struck two men at the
NJ. b. crossover near the foot of Sixth
street about eleven o'clock last night,
killing them both. At Glover's Gap
blood was discovered on the pilot
and wheels of the engine, and word
sent to Fairmont. A search along
the track discovered the men about
two o'clock. .ssrssss<
Coroner Amos was sent for, and
upon his arrival at 2:30 the. clothing
of the dead men was searched fSr
identification. From letters and 9th
r.papers in the pockets, the men
proved to be Oliver NJ. Glass and Earl
r. Doolittle, both drivers for the Fair
mont Coal Company at Highland,
though they lived at Middleton. Both
men were quite dead when found,
though Glass, body was. still warm,
Showing that he had probably lived

The bodies were removed to Cunning.
hams Undertaking rooms, and rela-
tiyes communicated with.
The men were seen at several
places in town last evening, and
from the position of the bodies when
found and other circumstances, 1t IS
supposed that they went to the NJ. R.
Scrossoyer to catch a freight for High.
land. The probability is that they
sat down on the outside ran or the
ends Of the ties on the west bound
track, and the approach OF an east
bound freight prevented their hearing
the west bound train.
Glass and Doolittle had boarded
with N. B. Post at Middleton. Such
information as could be gained show.
ed that Glass was man about 36
years old and came here about five
years ago from Lynchburg, Virginia.
He had been for several years in the
employ. of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company. He had been
married twice. and his second wife is
now living at Lynchburg. Two chill
dren by his first wife and one by his
second survive. A letter in his
pocket dated August %. 1905, show.
ed that he has sister In Lynchburg
named Mrs. Texie Rogers. A pecu-
liar feature Of this letter was that his
sister wrote that she feared some.
thing would happen to him. Glass
was very popular among his fellow
workmen, and had the reputation Of
being steady. He is said to have been
well educated and man whom his
companions thoroughly respected.
Doolittle had been at Middleton
for about eight months. He was about
21 years old, and the son of G. NJ.

most prominent and well-to-do farm
