A young man enlisted In COMPANY
L OF the Second infantry, under the
name of James I. RowYe, but whose
real name was Robert Holloman, was
killed by the shuttle train near the
Third regiment camp. He was walk
ing down the track in the direction of
Morehead City, facing driving rain,
with his head bent down. The shut
tie train backing: in at lively clip,
struck him and he fell at the side of
the track, one arm and his head
across the rail- One car and half of
another passed over him.
Rowve, or Hoiloman, enlisted at
Washington and was sent to camp to
join the Raeford company, G Of the
Second. He was transferred from
that company to company L.. He, had
served in the Tarboro company, A of
the Second, as Robert Holloman, and
had not completed his enlistment 1t
is understood that he changed his
name in order to enlist in another
company, He is survived by his ia
Their, who lives at Suffolk. Va; sister,
Mrs. John Carlyle, of Washingto,, N.
c., and probably other close relatives.
Only few persons saw the acct
dent. 1t is generally agreed that on
account of the strong and heavy rain
the young man did not see the train in
time to avoid being struck. The con-
duotor, porter and police officer on
the hear platform saw him and called
to him, but he did not seem to hear.
