The Oakley Graphic
An Emporia special: Charles R. RUSSELL was run over by a switch engine 
on the Santa Fe road, at the Merchant street crossing, and instantly 
killed, his head and both legs being severed from the body. His 
brother, Owen J. RUSSELL, deputy circuit court clerk, on being suddenly 
told of the horrible accident, being in poor health, went into spasms 
and now lies in a precarious condition. An invalid sister and aged 
mother were also so prostrated by the news that their lives are 
despaired of. The RUSSELL family are old settlers and among the best 
known citizens here. No one saw the accident, and the supposition is 
that he came out of the Park Place hotel into the dark and rain and 
attempted to cross the track.
