TWO HIT BY TRAIN
------
Jessie Lewis Killed at Thacker and Charles McCoy Badly Injured

    As she stepped from the west bound track to the east bound track near Thacker last night, about ten o'clock, Jessie Lewis, of Pikeville, Ky., was struck by a train and instantly killed, while Charles McCoy, of R???* Siding, was badly injured and may have sustained serious internal hurts.  ????* Ward, who was with the couple, said after the accident that both were drinking and it is evidently the same old story of not keeping in mind the danger they were facing while walking on double track under the influence of liquor.
*Names were indistinct on microfilm.
