Body Was Brought to Dawson and
Prepared for Burial. Trouble in
Identifying the Corpse.
AS the Central railroads work train
was coming to section quarters near
Dawson for the night late Friday af-
ternoon a negro stepped on the track
Just ahead of it at the small trestle
IN Lee county just beyond Kincha-
foonee creek.
The engineer saw the man and
reversed the engine, but it was too
late to stop the train before it struck
the negro and knocked him to the
ground. An examination disclosed
that both of his legs had been bro
ken and his skull crushed. The
corpse was brought to Dawson, taken
in charge by the railroad officials
mere, and turned over to Wilson
Jones, the colored undertaken, who
prepared it for burial.
There was considerable trouble
Identifying the dead negro, and Fri
day afternoon the body was about
to be shipped to Shellman, when it
was learned that the resident of that
town whom it was supposed to be
was very much alive. Later the
corpse was positively identified as
Will Manson, Lee county negro.
and the remains were sent to Smith
vile on the 9:31 Central passenger
train.
Whether the negro committed sui
eide or was drunk and thought he
could cross the trestle ahead of the
train is not known.
