Sara Mcllwain, colored, aged about 70 years, who lived with c Mr. J. D. Sistarc on the Moore place, was killed by the outgoing 1 passenger train on the L.&C. Hail- \ road, at Bear Creek trestle, just | west of the cotton mill, last Saturday afternoon. The old darkey 2 was about midway of the trestle when he heard the train behind him and ran to within six feet of 3 the end of it before the train overtook him. Had he had the pres- v eace of mind to have jumped he t would hardly have been hurt for k it wae only a few feet to the slope of the embankment at that point. [ His neck was broken, also one of . his tegs and arms and a hole was 1 made in the back of bis head. He was carried about 40 feet before ^ the train came to a standstill. His body was put on the train and taken back to the depot where an p inquest was held by Coroner Caskey Sunday morning and a verdiot rendered that he came to bis death v byf,unavoidable accident. $ Bogtaser Huggins discovered the old fellow on the trestle as * soon ae-he turned the curve East of the creek and at once blew the .kt.ti. ? ?J - nui?not loroioDu uia cn^iuu siiu put on the air brakes but the H grade being eo steep he was unable s to stop the train until it passed a over the trestle. Sam was a good r old darkey and bad many white ^ friends. The railroad company t bore all the expenses of his burial. 2 The same train which killed Sam ran over and killed a calf on the track when nearing Chester that night.
