Durham Man Loses His Life
\nIra McDade killed by a train at Cary
\nAccident Occurred this morning—remains brought home this afternoon.
\nBeating railroad trains is dangerous business, and sooner or later most of those who make a practice of such things are either killed or crippled for life. Two accidents of this kind have accurred within two days of each other, in which persons living in this community have lost their lives.
\nThis morning at or near Cary, Ira McDade, of Durham was killed while stealing a ride on a freight train. He was killed outright and his body was considerably mangled.
\nDeceased was a son of J C McDade and was known to a number of people here. All regret his untimely death, but to some people it was no great surprise, as they knew he sometimes hoboed trains.
\nThe remains of young McDade are expected to arrive in Durham on the 4:45 Southern train this afternoon and the funeral services will likely take place tomorrow, but at what hour cannot now be ascertained.
\nAccidents like the above very often follow each other fast, as this came close on the heels of the one in which Bud Williams, colored, was killed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
