Jumped from a Moving Train Kills One Man Near Americus
Central train No 12 reached Americus at 930 Sunday evening and ran over Cooper Dozier at Smithville twelve miles below. Dozier, eighteen, with two friends jumped from the moving coach for a short ride. The others landed safely while Dozier landed on dirt or cinders and was killed instantly beneath a wheel. The body was taken to Morgan for interment. The item then oddly veers into an unrelated medicinal ad for Pain Killer by Perry Davis with pharmacy-style claims.
