MAN FATALLY INJURED
Dies At Sanatorium.
Grant Brown Crushed by Norfolk and Wester Train.

In attempting to board a passing freight train on the Norfolk and Western 
Railway last Friday night, Grant Brown, colored, was thrown to the track and 
so badly injured that he died in a few hours.  Bystanders took the injured man 
and placed him on a truck and brought him to the office of Dr. Hudgins.  After 
examination by the physician, he was taken to the Whitworth Sanitorium where 
he died in a few hours.   One of his arms was severed and his shoulder crushed 
so that nothing could be done to save his life.  The accident occurred at the 
passenger station, where Brown expected to take a freight train to Tuggle's , 
he being employed at that point by the company.
