was coming into the city on the Belt
Line small boy ran after Il crying
aloud:
You've killed little boy down
hereI You've killed a little boy down
herel"
The train was stopped Immediately,
and about 100 yards below Magazine
road the trainmen found the mutllat-
ed body of small boy, hardly over
~ years Of age. 1t was put on a
cot in the caboose of the train, and
carried to the corner OF Pearl and
Decatur streets. Barclay & Bran
don, the uDdertakers, were called and
took the body to their establishment,
where It was identified by the parents,
who live at 8O7 Wylie street, outside
the city limits.
The name of the boy was Penny
Hansom. How he happened TO be
killed is not known, and the railroad
ofiicialS say that they could find no
eye Witnesses to- the AFFAIR. 1t is
not denied that he was killed by this
particular freight train, but how II
was done, is not known.
The engineer sid not see the little
fellow on the track. It Is thought
that he must have tried to run un-
der freight car, while the train

and was crushed by the wheels.

There is more catarrh in this Sec

diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed 10
be incurable. For q great many
years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a consti-

quires constitutional treatment.

OFFICIAL CITY AND COUNTY PAPER
THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1906

By the decisive vote OF 1886 to
14O the city has sanctioned an H.
sue Of $50, 900 Of bonds for the
purchase Of the Jack water system.
The system will remain in charge
OF Mr.. Jack at a salary Of 500 per
month until the validity Of the
bond issue has been affirmed by the
supreme court, the revenues mean
while being deposited in . bauk
according to the contract made
with the Jack estate. The city
council fully realizes the RESPONSE.
bility Of the undertaking and will,
no doubt, proceed with due eau
ton in the management Of the
plant 1t is understood that the
present council do not contem-
plate any betterments during their
term Of Office, preferring TO let the
revenues accumulate in order that
their successors may have funds
with which to provide fire protec-
ton for the town. With the COM
ing Of the railroad and cheaper
freight rates on cement and pipe,
the proposed betterments should
not coet 30 much ss contemplated
by the expert. There will, more.
over, be . larger supply Of labor
available, as large portion of the
hands engaged in railroad con-
struction will undoubtedly stay in
the country, and with these advan-
tages the proposed bettorments can
be more cheaply and expeditiously
completed.
With conservative handling
there is no doubt but that the
plant can be made a profitable
operation for the city in the course
Of q few years and then the public
will realize the advantage Of mum.
cipal ownership.
