A fatal accident befeil Mr.
Geo. F. Chasa, of Marion, atStates

following account of his sad death :
"Mr. Frank Chase, of McDowell
county, a juror ijj the Federal
Court; was run over by the A., T.
Sc O. passenger train at the depot
about 7 o'clock last evening. His
legs were so badly crushed that he
died shortly after 12 o'clock last
night.
OIr. Chase came down on the
train on the Western road. He
was going o Mr. A. F. Bowden's,
who lives south of the depot, and
when he got off the Western rain
it was necessary to cross the A.,
T. & O. track to reach Mr. Bow
den's house. The passenger train
M. '
was standing ox this track ready
to pull out for Charlotte. Mr.
Chase didn't wait for it to move
but started across the platform be
tween the cars. Just as he was
crossing the train started and he
fell. In his fall his legs fell under
the car wheels. His left leg was
mashed almofet entirely o2 between
the ankle and knee and the right
leg was badly lacerated. Sopn
after the accident Mr. Chase was
brought "up town to Dr. 11. F,

ed his left leg above the knee.
The operation was finished an,d
the limbs dressed shortly after 9
o'clock and a little after 12 o'clock

McDowell."
Mr. Chase was well known in
Burke having lived in Silver Creek
township for a number of years,
lie has lived at Marion since mov
ing from this count, . Mr. Chase
was a northern gentleman by
birth, but has perhaps been in this
part of the country for 20 or more
vears. He was clever and well
liked by all who knew him. He
was noted for talking politics, but
always .did it good-naturedly.
The announcement here on Tuei

boots or shoes since he purchased that

a too red, rough skin, and in healing all kinds

inflamed parts. Its action is naiukal,
Saturates the skin, -excites the foreign sub-v
stances to pass off, leaving a clear complexion.
It is a grateful and refreshing addition to
the toilet ; fortifies against changesof temper
