AGED WOMAN Is KILLED ED SUTTON Is s
BY FAST FREIGHT TRAIN IN AN OHIO 7
Mrs. Hugh williams is Struck by
Train on Railroad Crossing
At Bristol.
LIVES But TEN MINUTES.
Run Down As She is Going Over To
the Station to Board Train
For This City.
sUT TEN MINUTES.

Mrs. Love Williams. aged 20
years. was struck by a freight train
at Bristol Friday morning and IA
tally injured, living but about ten
minutes after she was struck.
Mrs. Williams resided on Salem
Fork of Tenmile creek about two
miles below Bristol and came to
Bristol Friday morning to come here
on the train to visit her son, Stephen.
At about o'clock she was going
over the railroad crossing there in
the direction of the station, when
an east bound freight train
approached at a good rate of speed.
She saw the train coming about one
hundred yards distance, but con
cluded she could get across the
track before the train arrived at
that point.
The engineer saw her but did not
have time to stop the train before
the engine struck her. She was
Knocked off the track but her body
was not mangled. She was carried
to the home of her son where she
expired shortly afterward.
Mrs. Williams was accompanied by
her husband from their home to
Bristol. Arriving in the town she
proceeded on foot to go to the sta
tion platform on the opposite side Of
the railroad tracks. Though she saw
the train approaching, it is believed
that she mistook it for the passenger
train, as it had passenger train
whistle, and thought it would check
its speed as such trains do, when
coming to a station, where they
stop, and she would have time to
get off the track. But. the train
was upon her before she could quite
get off the track
Mrs. Williams was the wife of
Hugh Williams, prominent farmer
of that section, and the mother of
stephen Williams. Main street mer-

ty, and Mrs. Nora Randolph, of

ANOTHER Route
For Free Rural Mail Delivery to BE
Established Out From
Wallace.

A special agent of the postofRce

trip out from Wallace during the
past week and will recommend the
establishment of new route cover
ing the territory between Wallace and
Center Point and covering a portion
of the Robinson Fork section. There
are already a number of rural routes
going out from the hustling Short
Line town and it is evidently the in
tention of the postofFice department
to completely cover that section of
country.
necessity of another route
taking in the territory lying between
Salem and the new route from Wal
lace is now urgent and the people OF
that section should make application
at once for the service to start from
