Knt a It) Injured bj Traiin s.t Laurens Mills* Annie Bell Ramsey, aged thirteen, who recently moved to the Laurens mills with her mother from <:r?'?-ii ville, but formerly of Columbus, Ga., was run over and fatally injured by a string of detached flat cars on the Co lumbia, Newberry & Laurens railroad, near the Laurens milis. early Saturday morning. Immediately after the cc Cident Mr. Meng, outside foreman at the mill, summoned physicians and had the little girl removed to her home. An examination revealed the fact that her limbs and body had been terribly mangled, and the remaining spark of life took its llipht within an hour. Coroner Hairston came up and held the Inquest shortly after the noon hour. The facts in connection with this unfortunate affair, as adduced at the huptest were to the effect that the Ramsay girl was on her way Jo tin mill about a. in. on reaching the railroad she proceeded down the ??:?;;? ':. in the direction of the crossing. Meantime the division work train of ; i'. X. ? F.. road, engaged en this ? of (he line in making some Im provements, had pulled out dn the main track from n siding and, In or der to make up its regular train, a String of flat ears were detached ami "kicked" down tho track, with n braheman aboard. He saw the girl, but apparently did not realize the child's peril until it was too late, though l.e applied tho brakes before the cats struck her. Others saw her Impending danger and called to her to pet off tin- (rack. Being par tially (leaf she evidently did not hear the approaching train behind her nor the warnings from horrified onlookers. The verdict of the coroner's jury wiis. therefore, rein!'red in accord ance with these facts. On Sunda> tie remains of the de ceased were laid to re.-: in the city cemetery, Rev.
