CORRESP
KILLED ON THE RAIL.
A Prominent Ci'izen oi
Leesville Run Over and
Killed Sunday
Evening.
(PROM OCIl BEGVLAR COR HI .VONf 1.]
"Crutu Able is dead. tie was struck
by tlie ft o'clock train ami killed.'
This news was >; cad over town liki
nil electric fl.isli. Never be tore In tin
history of Leesville did the town oxjierier.ee
audi u severe shock. Every
b? art throbbed with a pang for every
man, woman and child in town loved
Cruin Able. It in no exaggeration t?
?ay that he was the nt >st popular man
in town ntul the surronding country
lie was a familiar figure on the st-eot*
mini nt every gathering What I.msville
will he without him it is hard tc
imagine. The effect of his death will
be very serious. He bad ? large and
Hourislitng busi ess nod was in hts
usual good henltli and jolly spirits. It
would be entirely useless to give nit)
account of the man's life to the readerof
The Adv? cite for everybody knev*
loved him.
He went ? ut .to Sunday School an
vautiiug at the Baptist church, li<
church, Sunday evening and taiigi
iiis elas< as usual After preaching
lie walked home with his frieuels in
more expecting that his end was nearer
than anyone else, lie walked out
about dark to see one of his tenant*
Upturning he was walking in the middle
of the railroad trunk just lielow
l>r. Crosson's. '1 he engineer 01 tin
six o'clock train says he saw mm inn
fully expected liitn to step oft". ll?blew
the signal but Mr. Able panl tin
attention whatever. When lie saw
that he was in great danger In-attempted
to stop his train but too late. .Vr
Able was struck in the hack and kiilctl
instantly. He was knocked out in tin
ditch dead.
Nobody saw the tragedy except tin
engineer. A negro was very nea?
but behind by spot, "e ran to tin
? woo
directly in front of his (prrxrosson's]
gate. He found him dead, and says
that death was instantaneous. He
was terribly bruised and broken. Tin
whole town was on the spot in fifteen
minutes, si rapidly did the news fly.
Mr. Abie's body was tenderly carried
to his home rear h\ .
The outside world tnav conclude thai
it is a plain case of suicide, hut titer*
is not a shadow of suspicion in the
miud|of Mr. Ab'e's friends here in town
who knew ami saw him every day
and thoroughly i nderstaiul all the
surrounding circumslafu e> th.it it
Wat suicide. It is one of tlm.-e mysteries
that will nevet he understood.
It would be useless to speculate in
theories. He must have been > ? absorbed
in thought thai he either did
n?t rtalize that lie was on the I rack or
that the train was so near. A euro
urn inquest uiet Monday and lotind
the facts as stated above.
Mr. Able was buried Tuesday at 11
o'clock from the Haptist church in llie
Lutheran Cemetery. 11m funeral was
preached by bis pa-tor, 1 ?r. A. C. Wilkius.
to the largest audiet.ee ever attending
a luneral in lb s town.
Mr. a. C. Able was born tu-ar here
and was about .">0 years old. lie is the
son of Captain. J. (J. Able woo still
survives hint, lie was a mt inber of a
very large and highly respected faiiily.
lie leaves a wife, three daughtcis and
two sons, ilis name and mt mory will
live many years in hundreds of sattdene.i
hearts.
