Accidently Killed

Fountain Peach, a young man who lived near Rosine, this county, was accidentally killed by being run over by a freight train near Horton last Wednesday night. It seems that he had been to Central City, was returning home and was attempting to steal a ride. He fell beneath the wheels and was ground to pieces, the remains being scattered along the

Track. A coroners jury was empaneled and after due deliberation returned the following verdict: We the jury find from the evidence that this is the body of Fountain Peach and that he came to his death by being run over by a south bound train near Horto,n Ohio County, Ky. on the night of May 1, 1907.

We wish them every success in life.
