FATHER AND SON KILLED BY TRAIN

James T. Ingram and son killed at Benton Saturday afternoon.

T. J. Ingram and son Henry, well known in this county, were struck and killed by a train on the C & E at Benton last Saturday afternoon.  The Ingrams, who live in the outskirts of Benton, were on their way up town, walking between the double tracks.  A train approach from behind and whistled a warning, which perhaps confused the elder man to such an extent that he stepped in front of the approaching train.  His son attempted to rescue him, with the result that they were both caught under the wheels and killed, the older man instantly, the younger one living about four hours though frightfully mangled.  These gentlemen lived in this county several years ago, and it is said the elder Mr. Ingram years ago lived in this city.  They have a host of friends throughout the county who will regret to hear of their horrible death.
