of the most desperate criminals in
the State. He was cool, fearless
and level headed.

friends were not numbered alone
among the class in which he was
born and raised, but were a legion
among all classes. He was most
loyal to- his friends and no night
was too dark, or trip too hard OF
the danger too great that ii he could
be of service that he did not gladly
place himself at the disposal of his
friends.
He was beyond question one of
the most popular men that ever hved
in Montgomery county.

is KILLED
BY TRAIN
Mr.. Charles T. Wilson Killed BY
Train and Mr.. VIM. Daley Has
Marrow Escape.

The entire community was shock
ed Wednesday evening to learn thai
Mr.. C. T. Wilson hard been killed by
freight train on the l.. & E. divi-
sion of the L. & N. r. r.
Mr. Wilson had been called to a
small station near Indian Fields to
try and locate parties who had brok-
en- into a store and taking Mr.. Will
liam Daley and his bloodhound he
had gone to the scene of the rob-
berry. After spending some time
there and completing his investiga-
tons the two men and dog started
to walk back to Indian Fields where
they intended getting horse and
buggy to bring them to this city.
When a short distance from the
station and approaching the long,
thigh trestle at that place they step
ped to one side of the track to allow
a freight train to pass them and
thinking that Of course it would be
the last train for several minutes
started across the trestle and when
about half way across were surpris-
al - con n double hood t,o;, ~
preaching and not having time to
get off the track saw that their only
chance was to lie fiat down on the
outer edge of the trestle, after TAX
ing the chain off the dog Mr.. Wilson
spoke to his companion and told him
just what to do. They had very lit
tie time to get ready when the train
was upon them and Mr.. Daley
thinks that it was broken brake
beam that first struck him in the
back tearing his overcoat off and
severely bruising him, that struck
Mr.. Wilson in the head knocking him
off the trestle.
After being turned loose the dog
ran and was nearly off the trestle
when the train hit him and knocked
him off but contrary to reports did
not kill him and he is being cared
for by someone in the neighborhood
Of the accident.
Mr.. Daley, in spite of his injur-
les, ran to Indian Fields and sum-
moned help but Mr.. Wilson died just
as help reached him. Mr.. Daley
says that the people there were es-
pecially kind and rendered all the
assistance possible.
The body was brought to this city
that night to the undertaking estab-
ishment of the Sutton Eastin Co.,
and later removed to his home on
Antwerp avenue.
Everybody in this section of the
State knew Mr.. Wilson as he had
been prominent in politics for many
