"Homer Scott"
Carelessness Caused Death

Ruston, La., Dec. 19. This afternoon about 4:30 o'clock a
young negro boy named Homer Scott, was killed in the Rock Island
yards here. The boy had been jumping on and off a freight engine
working in the yard near his home, when he missed (his) footing and
fell underneath. Both legs were cut off near the body and he lived
but a short time after the accident.
