 A most distressing accident happened at the freight depot in this city last
Sunday evening by which Mr. Robt. Graviat lost his life.  He was a brakesman
on the V.S. & P., and while on duty Sunday evening got his foot caught
between the rails and was run over by an engine and killed.  His home was at
Jackson, Tenn., where his remains have been forwarded for interment.
