KILLED ON RAILROAD.
Unknown Negro Boy Found Dead
Near the Lukens Co. Mill.
The body of a iiegro boy Apparently about
12 years old was found Dfl tbe track of the
Central railroad near the yard of tbe Lukens
Lumber Mill about 3 3) Monday afremoon.
The local freight cme iu ?bout 20 or 30
minutes before, and it a supposed be was run
over by it, hut no one has been found who
knows anything about how be was killed.
One leg and one arm were cut iff, the other
leg broken nod arm dislocated.
The trains come in slowly at that point,
and tbe hoys who are generally loafing
thereabouts have been in the babit of climb?
ing on tbe trains aad riding up to the depot,
and the probability is that he met bis death
in that way.
Who tbe boy is had not been found out
rben tbe above information was obtained,
but be is no doubt one of tbe many of that
age and site to be fouod about tbe railroad
and depot at all boors of tbe day and much
of tbe nigbt, with very little to do.
Coroner Hoses held en icquestt Monday
afternoon otter tbe remains of tbe negro boy
found dead oo the A.C. L track near the
depot. Tbe name of tbe boy could not be
ascertained and none of tbe circumstances of
tbe killing are known. Tbe verdict of tbe
jury was that tbe unknown negro boy was
killed by being run over by ths A. C. L.
freight train and that no blame attaches to
tbe railroad company.
Treasurer Scarborough has bis books in
readiness to begin tbe collection of taxes on
