KILLED IN TROLLEY WRECK.

 

Former Bruceville Man Loses Life

at Fort Worth.

 

    Charles G. Gibson, formerly postmaster at Bruceville, was killed in a trolley wreck at Fort Worth Thursday night.

    Mr. Gibson has been in the railway mail service running out of Fort Worth on the Cotton Belt since 1904.  He was 32 years of age and leaves a family.  His remains were interred in Fort Worth.

    The trolley car was wrecked in eight (sic) of Gibson's just after he started for his run.

    It is a coincidence that Gibson was in a wreck of the same nature two years ago, in which the car rolled down the embankment.  He received injuries then that confined him to his bed for thirty days.
