TWO MEN

-----

Run Down and Killed by a Train at Mitchell.

-----

            John Wade and Nathan Jeans, both aged about fifty years, residing 
in Washington county, near Ft. Ritner, were killed by a train at Mitchell last 
Friday evening.

            They had gone to Mitchell to negotiate a timber deal with the band 
saw mill and were walking down the Monon track to the mill. At the place where 
they met their death there are several tracks. They saw a train coming down 
one track and stepped aside to let it pass and stepped in front of another cut 
of cars on another track. They were caught under the engine and both bodies 
were badly mangled.

            The remains were brought to Ft. Ritner Saturday morning and taken 
to their homes where the funerals were held Sunday afternoon.

            Both were wealthy and prominent men and are well known in the 
south western part of this county. Both are survived by families.
