| The body of a negro man was found under
the railroad bridge {Memphis, Clarksville &
Louisville RR}, over Yellow Creek, on Friday morning last with
the head and one leg severed from the body. It is thought that he must
have been on the bridge, either drunk or a sleep when the night train
passed. He was the property of Mr. Lewis and a very valuable slave. |
