| Shocking accident |
| Man Killed |
| Robert Swinger, of Woodstock, a brakeman on the Manassas Gap Railroad, was instantly killed on the
road on Sundayafternoon of last week, somewhere on the eastern end of
the road. He jumped on the tender from the next car
to it, and fell backwards, when the whole train passed over him,
crushing and mangling his body horribly, and, of course, producing
instantaneous death. His absence on the train from which he had
started was not discovered until the next train came on, which also
passed over his body. |
