Lorton, who with other boys, had been in the habit of jumping on every train that passes through town, missed his footing last Sunday in attempting to board the mail train going east on the C & A, and had his foot so badly mangled that amputation was necessary. After the accident the boy was taken home and Dr. Brown sent for, who took off the front half of his foot. Higbee has a law prohibiting men and boys from jumping on trains while in motion and it should be strictly enforced. If parents can't control their children the city marshal should look after them until they get big enough to take care of themselves. 27 Sep 1890--OBITUARY--Tolman A., son of John A. and Cintha A. Holtzclaw, was born March 2nd, 1878, and died at his home near Higbee, Sept 18, 1890, at the age of 12 years, 6 months and 16 days. Tolman was permitted to live in this world only a short time, but his short life was a happy one; we know he made everything cheerful for those around him. He was the first boy to have his name enrolled on the school record of Sept 1, 1890. He attended regular and was very attentive for two weeks. When Saturday came he took his bed. He was the first on the record at school and first to be recorded in heaven. To the scholars that are left behind; Let us not think of Toleman as dead, but let us think of him as one waiting to meet us in that world beyond, where our school may meet to part no more. But dear mourning friends you cannot weep as those who have no hope, for Christ has said: "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." to the weeping friends this affliction is a treasure in Heaven where you may go to meet Tolman in the blessed beyond.
