Killed on the Railroad
 
Ross Dickson, of this place, was killed by the cars near Mill Creek on Thursday 
evening of last week.  He had gone to Mill Creek that morning on an errand and 
coming home he walked on the railroad.  No person saw him getting struck, but 
it is supposed that he was walking on the south track and seeing a rain 
approach stepped over on the north track and was struck by the "Goat."  His 
neck and one arm was broken and he was otherwise badly bruised about the body.  
He was sober and industrious and was a good citizen.  He leaves a wife and one 
child who are said to be in poor circumstances.  Funeral occurred on Saturday.
