CHARLES MAIN IS KILLED
By Freight Train Just After Dinner Today Son-In-Law Of Hiram Brate Here
  Just after noon today Mr. Hiram Brate of the Middletown News Company, received a phone message from his daughter, Ms. Charles Main from Franklin, that her husband Charles was killed on the Big Four railroad about 12 o'clock by a freight.
  Mr. Brate at once went to Franklin.
  The story comes from Franklin as follows; Charles Main 45 years of  age with a wife and three children who live on River street, was standing near the tracks of the Big Four railroad watching the approach of the northbound freight train that was last seen of him until the train had passed when he was found killed, his body horribly cut up.
  No one seems to know whether he tried to board the moving train or whether he stood too close to the tracks and was knocked under the wheels and killed.
