An Old Co'orcil Man Killed l?v a
Train on tho L & C.
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.
