LOCAL NEWS.
----------
Undertakers Wilson &
Son this morning buried the body of the old man, Dobney, killed by the
cars in this city on Tuesday. His prayer book and rosary were interred
with him. Efforts were made by Coroner Bruce to ascertain if he had any
relative or friends at Anderson, but that officer's labors in that direction
were fruitless. Dobney spent an entire winter in the poor house of this
county, while Mr. John Clark was Superintendent, and he was
very deaf. He is also remembered by Street Commissioner
Dobbins as a deaf tramp. This evidence was shown a t the
inquest, and it is fair to presume, therefore, that he did not hear the approach
of the engine which killed him.
