Two Killed By Trains In Dallas.
Dallas: Ross Hall, the 15-year-old son of Scott H. Hall, was instantly killed Sunday morning by a freight train near the Cotton Belt elevated crossing. The boy with several others was riding on the freight, which was running slowly, and in passing under the elevated crossing the boy fell to the track below, the wheels passing over him. His head was almost completely severed from his body, only a bit of skin holding it to the trunk. His right arm was broken, his left was mangled and his chest was crushed in.
A negro physician, Dr. J.A. Burris, was struck by a passenger train of the Houston and Texas Central railway at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning and literally torn to pieces. The old negro, who was 67 years of age, was walking the track from his home to his office.
