KILLWanD as LooOMOTIVz.-Thursdaymorning a few minutes past 7 o'clock theeast-bound local passenger train No. 54 onthe Texas and Pacific railway killed a whiteman named John Higgins near a culvertone mile west of McCalt station. Higginswas walking along the track with his backtoward the approaching train, and beingquite deaf, it is supposed he fciled to hearthe whistle of the locomotive. Naturallyisupposing the man would step aside theengineer made no effort to check the speedof the train until xi w as too late to avoidthe accident. Higgins was struck by thecowcatcher and fatally injured, hi rightarm and leg being broken and his skullfractured, causing death in five minutes.The remains were brought to Donaldsor-ville on the train, and Coroner Hanson no-tified. A jury was empanelled and exam-ined the wounds, but as no witnesses were

present, the inquest was adjourned until i

further testimony could be obtained. Dr.Hanson ordered the boiy buried at publicexpense. The victim of this accident wasabout 85 years of age, a native of New Or-leans, and besides beingafflioted with par.tiat deafness, was weak minded to a degreeverging on lunacy. He was at one time inthe employ of Mr, Joe. N. Braud of Dar-rowville as a farm laborer and man-of-al:-

work, but we have been unable to learn

where he resided or what his occupationhas been since.
