| A Soldier Killed |
| Lieut. W. W. Lane of the 56th N. C. T. was accidentally
killed at the Depot of the Central Road {the
North Carolina RR} at this place on Sunday last, by being
caught between the platform of the water tank and the train of cars
while in motion, thus horribly crushing him, and causing immediate
death. |
|
We learn that this is the third soldier that has met an untimely death
at this place in the same manner, and we would therefore most
respectfully invite the attention of the Chief Engineer to the
condition of said platform, and we earnestly protest that its present
position to the track shall longer endanger the lives of our soldiers
and citizens.
