PHILLIP DUNLAP KILLED

Last Friday night a number of Indians boarded the north-bound train at Kildare without first purchasing tickets. All of them however, paid their fare but Phillip Dunlap, and he refused to pay. The conductor stopped the train and put him off. He walked along the track until he came to the vicinity of W. W. Spencer’s place when he laid down on the track and when the next train passed he was run over and instantly killed. The engineer who struck him thought it was a big dog on the road and whistled to drive him off, and he did not realize what the object was until he struck it. Phillip was drunk when he boarded the cars and it was probably a drunken stupor which prompted him to lie down on the track. – Ponca City Courier
