Starling Hammond Dead
     The death of Starling HAMMOND, who spent his boyhood days in McDonough, 
occurred under distressing circumstances at Utica, N. Y., last Friday, and the 
sad news was received with much regret here. The remains reached McDonough last 
Tuesday afternoon and were laid to rest in the family burial grounds near 
Bethany.
     A special dispatch from Utica to the Atlanta Journal gives the following 
particulars of the death:
     “Starling M. HAMMOND, a printer, aged 29, son of Mrs. Mary HAMMOND of 4 
Love Street, Atlanta, was wounded on the New York Central Railroad tracks here 
this morning with one leg cut off and the other nearly severed.
     He was taken to the city hospital where he died a few hours later. While 
the city physician was working over HAMMOND he was conscious and said: “ I was 
to blame and no one else.” Further than that HAMMOND refused to explain the 
accident.
     The coroner is investigating. He believes the man to have fallen off a 
flyer while en route to Albany to work. The local printers have interested 
themselves, as he had a paid up union card.”
