Henry Price Killed

He Goes to Sleep on the Railroad and is Killed by the Cars.

Old man Henry Price was killed on the railroad one mile below the depot on 
Sunday night.  He had been drinking during Sunday, so it stated, and wandered 
off alone along the railroad, and becoming wearied, sat down between the cross 
ties and went to sleep.  The up passenger at 8:45 came thundering along, and 
the poor old man was knocked of and killed.  The engineer did not see him, and 
he was found shortly after the train passed by a colored man.  Coroner Clark 
was notified, and on Monday morning he summoned a jury and held an inquest. 

The evidence was conclusive that he was killed by a passing train, and a 
verdict was rendered accordingly.  No blame is attached to the railroad.

In all elections, old man Henry voted the democratic ticket.
