I haven't posted this info in quite awhile. Since we've had a lot of new memebers since then, I thought I'd post it again. Clay Co Courier published in Corning, AR November 13, 1903 A white man by the name of PHELAN was found in a dying condition beside the railroad track near Garner. It is alleged that he was riding in a box car and a brakeman discovered him and beat him badly with knucks and threw him off the train. He was a railroad man and had a $l,000 life insurance policy in his pocket.

IS there a way to get any other information on this man?
