when force of laborers were put to
work tearing down an old landmark in

and each end will be removed, leaving

Unknown Man Killed by the Train.

run down and killed a man near the
Kldder crossing east of town. The train
crew reported the accident and the sec.
ton men were sent to the scene and the
body brought in and taken to Clarke's
undertaking rooms.
The engineer reported that the man
was walking directly toward the train
when hit and either didn't hear the
warning or deliberately walked to his
death.
The deceased was apparently about 80
years of age. An examination of the
body showed tina: his skull was split
open and many bones broken so that his
death must have been instantaneous.

! unfortunate stranger. A discharge

sued to Paul Baer, dated Sept. 23d last,
was found among his effects, but an an
