    3. BENTLEY William BENTLEY, a Negro, was killed by passenger train No. *14 at the hill west of Burgettstown on Saturday evening about five o'clock. BENTLY was employed as a driver for the construction gang that is laying the third track through here. He was driving a ______ team of mules at the time and one of the animals had gotten on the main track. It was while getting the mule off the track that he was struck by the train. He was thrown quite a distance, alighting on his head, which was horribly crushed and mangled. The body was brought to McDonald on the train which killed him and buried Wednesday from Sheppard's undertaking service.
