The Cherokee Advance 16 Dec 1882 p 2
A Man Killed

On last Saturday while two negroes and one white man were hauling ties on a hand
car at the convict camp above Jasper, a jutting tie on the car struck a tie on
the ground.  This alarmed the convicts.  Mr. Robinson, one of them, jumped in
front and fell.  The hand car ran over him and crushed his chest.  He died in a
few minutes.  The death of Mr. Robinson was purely accidental.  One of the
negroes also jumped and was badly bruised.  The other one remained and escaped
injury.  Mr. Robinson was quite a favorite in camps, on account of his
reliability.  Gen. Phillips had him buried decently, after having an inquest.
