Negro Killed Monday By Log Train

Jake Conley, negro man, was killed instantly early Monday morning when he fell
from a car of logs at the Rock Island crossing.  The negro, an employee of the
Mansfield Hardwood Lumber Company, after opening the gate for the log train,
and getting on the car, lost his hold, falling beneath the train.  One leg
was severed and his head badly mangled.  The remains were sent to McKenie,
Arkansas for burial Tuesday.
