Killed on the Rail.

Coroner d. w. Hardee was sum-
moned to Kittrell on Wednesday OF
last week to hold an inquest over a
man whose body was found on the
railroad track, apparently the victim
! of an accident. 1t was learned from
papers on his person that the man
who appeared to be about 20 years
old, was Judson Peviu Leibetter OF
Culman, Ala, and that he had been
recently discharged from the navy
department. Tue body was found
| lying on side track near the main
line about 500 yards South OF Kit
trell. There was a dep cut On the
back of the head and the skull was
| fractured, the wound being such as
might have been received in falling
from a train and striking his head On
the rail or sharp end of a cross tie.
| His hat was found near the station
and the impression prevails that III
attemptingto get on passenger train
No. 81, Southbound, at 3:O7 IL. m.
he lost his footing and fell to his
death.
The man was not dead when found
but expired soon after being removed
to Il neighboring house without re-
gaining consciousness. The verdict
of the coroner's iur, vast hat deceased
came to bis death from accidental
causes-iniuries received by being
struck by the train or falling from it.
The man wasevidently trying to beat
his way from Norfolk Southwark.
He had been put off the train a time
or two and was seen here but it was
known that he was on when it left
Henderson.
Coroner Hardee brought the body
to Henderson and prepared it for
to the family of the unfort-
innate young man in Alabama. He
got in communication with them by
wire and long distance telephone inn
after learning his name and
the location of his people.
