The Enterprise

  Gilbert Henderson, colored of Covington was killed by an East bound freight
train on the Georgia Railroad near Scottdale Saturday night. It is reported
that he was attempting to steal a ride when he missed his hold falling under
the wheels of the train, being mangled so that he had to be burried on the
right of way of the road.
  Bud Miller, also colored, of Covington, met the same fearful fate over on
the Seaboard Road, being instantly killed while trying to steal a ride.
No blame can be attached to these roads. Gilbert Henderson was a married
man and has five small children, and if he had been at home looking after
and taking care of them, he would not have met such a awful death.
