P THOMAS ROBERTSON
Ed Robertson, a well known colored man employed at Steele's shop, met with a fatal accident Monday evening.
It seems that he was very drunk and about dusk started out the railroad to a friend's house south of town. A companion met him and told him "to get off the railroad that he was too drunk and a train might run over him." Robertson replied that he was able to take care of himself. He staggered on, and, it is presumed that he fell across the track near where the Clarksville pike crosses the railroad.
About the time the 7 o'clock north bound freight train came along and ran over him, mashing both legs below the knee joints. The train was stopped and the wounded man brought into the city. Medical attention was summoned, but early Tuesday morning he died. Coroner Bell held an inquest over the remains Tuesday.

Mr. Robertson had the advantage of a splendid education, and was a man who could discuss most questions in a most attractive manner, and kept well informed on matters of history and of the day. He was a loyal friend and a devoted companion and any man was fortunate indeed who had the friendship of Tom Robertson.
The son, now a resident of Chicago, accompanied by the two children, reached here a few days ago, and was with the father in his last hours.
