DID RECENTLY.

LITTLET0N, W. Va, Sept g.
Robert Mills, veteran of the civil
war, was struck by B. and o. west
bound freight train near Board Tree
last night and was instantly killed.
Mr.. Mills, who was about 50 years
old aud quite deaf. was walking on the
track close to the station a; Board Tree
three miles west of here. Persons at
the station, waiting for the east-bound
passenger train, saw his danger and
called to him, but he did not hear. He
was thrown some distance when the
train hit him and was dead when
picked up.
A strange coincidence about the ac-
ciden: is that Mr.. Mills nephew, Isaac
Mills, was killed at almost the same
spot and in the same manner about
two months ago. and It was reported
at that time that 1t was Robert Mills
who had been killed.
Mr.. Mills leaves a wife and son,

.RAFTSMAN HAS
NARROW ESGAPE
FALLS FROM LOGS AND IS NEAR.
" DROWNED WHEN RES
cuED BY COMPANION.

PARKERsBURG. Sept. 6.-Falling
from raft of logs which he was float
ing down the Little KanaWha river.
James R. Beicaer had thrilling ex.
perience and a very narrow escape
from death yesterday afternoon.
Belcher Is employed by a lumber
company Of Kentucky and was sent
up the Little Kauawhs to get a raft
of prtzei logs, which were at the bank
between here and the first lock. They
had barely started when Beicher step
ped on a slime-covered log and slip
ping fell into the river.
His friend never expected to see him
alive, for he fell in front of the raft
and IT seems impossible for him TO
ever get out. Being an excellent swim
mer he managed to hold his breath
until the logs had about passed him,
when he gave up and would have been
drowned but for the help rendered by
his partner.
Seeing Belcher come 70 the surface,
his partner, who had already tied i
rope about his body, jumped into the
water and getting a hold on Belchar
had no trouble in pulling him 10 the
raft. On the raft he worked with the
man for probably a half hour before
he was revived. His lungs had part!-
ally filed with water and he was as
nearly drowned as man could be and
still be alive.
Suffering from the excitement and
the awful strain on his lungs, Belche3
would not attempt to go farther, and
came to Parkersburg last evening.
His rescuer was very reteent about
giving the story of his brave efforts
and would not even give his name.
