G.N. BEAMAN, OF UNIONTOWN KILLED INSTANTLY TODAY
"FLYING SWITCH" DID IT
Stepped from Track to Avoid Train, and Car Struck Him
--Happened at Uniontown.
G.N. Beaman, a retired farmer, very well known in Fort Scott and over the county, and a resident of near Uniontown for years, was instantly killed, and his body horribly mangled, when he was struck by a Missouri Pacific box car at Uniontown. His skull was crushed and his body otherwise crushed and torn.
The accident occurred about 9:45 this morning. Mr. Beaman, who lived in a bungalow about 200 or 300 yards west of the depot, and south of the Missouri Pacific tracks, for the past several days has been in the habit of walking from his house up the track to the depot in the mornings, to be present when the local arrived from the west.
Mr. Beaman started from his house up the track toward the depot this morning just about the time the local was due. He was only a short distance west of the depot when he heard the local behind him. Naturally, he stepped off the main line, and onto the siding on the north. But as the local pulled by, it dropped off a car to make a flying switch onto the siding on which Mr. Beaman was walking. The noise of the train drowned the sound of the approaching car.
Mr. Beaman who was a man about 55 years of age, had resided in the Uniontown neighborhood for many years.
The deceased is survived by his wife, a son Ray, who lives on a farm near Uniontown, a brother, Robert, on a farm near Uniontown, and a brother Sylvester, living southwest of Fort Scott 10 miles.
Funeral arrangements have not been made up to this time.
Coroner Payne and Dr. C.F. Young, who were called to Uniontown to inspect the body of Mr. Beaman, reported on their return that the body had not been badly mangled as at first reported but that death had resulted from the crushing of the skull.
It was recalled today that Mr. Beaman a year ago this summer, sustained a very serious injury to his left arm when he caught it in a threshing machine. His arm was terribly lacerated, and it was feared for a time that amputation might be necessary. That was avoided, but the arm was permanently disabled.
Mr. Beaman's name was on the Republican ticket this year for the office of trustee of Marion townships.
Mr. Beaman was a 32d degree Mason, belonging to the Scottish Rite here. It is therefore probably that the funeral will be conducted by the Masons.
