ALEXANDRIA, Va, November "a
Dragged more than half a mile when
he was thrown in the path of south
bound freight after having been
struck by a northbound special OF
the r., F. and =. railroad late yester-
day afternoon, a man believed to be
Kenneth Haug of Junction City, Ohio,
was killed near Bush Hill, about five
miles south of this city.
From photographs and papers found
in the pockets of the dead man, it
appeared, when he was examined by
Coroner w. 1. Robey. that the man
had a family in Ohio. Mrs. X. b.
Haug was notified by telegram late
last night. The inquest will not be
held until Monday night.
Hit by Both Trains.
According to the story told by the
crew of the train, which was spe-
cial loaded with directors of the rail-
ROAD, three men were walking along
the tracks going southward. The
was struck by the northbound train.
He was thrown directly into the path
of the southbound train.
Some portion of the mans clothing
was caught on the brake shoe of IA
freight car and the body was dragged
some distance before the engine crew
knew of the accident
A gold watch was found on the
body, which was well dressed. Only
3 cents were in his pockets. The
men who were seemingly his COM
panions continued their journey say
ing that they had only met with him
ana were walking together. They
said they, did not know him.
Three photographs-one of a young
baby one of himself and one of a
collie dog-and small note book
that might have been a diary were
all the personal effects besides the
watch. Identification card and money
that were found in the pockets of his
clothes. That portion of the diary
which was distinguishable showed
that the man had come to Alexandria
thursday on a car, presumably from
Washington.
to be about twenty-eight years old.
He wore smart officers boots and
otherwise gave the appearance of
having been other than the cmomon
run of hoboes who frequent the
tracks.
Railway Service Same.
Service of the Washington-V Virginia
Railway Company operating under
Arthur L. Reynolds as receiver will
remain the same that 1t was under
Mr.. Reynolds for the past seven
months while he has been active
head of the organization. Mr.. Rey-
nolds took complete charge today
after being furnished with certified
copy of the proceedings OF the court
in Fairfax yesterday.
Minor economies will be enforced,
Mr.. Reynolds said, but this will have
no effect on the general service rem
dered. This morning saw the opening
of a new set of books in the COM
pany. From now on the court will
hold Mr.. Reynolds personally re-
sponsible for the operations OF the COM
pany.
Just how far the minor economies
indicated by Mr.. Reynolds will go is
not known. Whether the weekly pass
system viii be continued is the chief
object of concern now that it has
been learned that the same schedule
Will be maintained. On this point
Mr. Reynolds has not committed him
self.
1t is believed generally that the
company will make good after the
new start which was given 1t.
