The Mobile Register says: Friday as a young man named CHARLES LEWIS was walking on the railroad track at Whistle between two trains, he caught his foot between the guide rail and the main rail. Before he could extricate his foot a train knocked him down and ran over him, crushing him to death instantly. He was the son of the engineer, JAMES LEWIS, who was killed about thirteen years ago on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, on a New Year’s night and a brother of THOMAS LEWIS who was run over at Whistle some years ago and had a leg broken, and died from amputation of the same.Submitted: 06/29/05
