Boy Killed Near Cleburne.
From parties who came in from the south last night it was learned that a horrible accident occurred near Cleburne yesterday evening, in which the 11-year-old son of Mr. Brown, owner of the Gainesville opera house, was instantly killed. The boy had been out hunting with a companion and while crossing a bridge on their way home, No. 6, the passenger [train] from the south, came thundering along. The boys were caught in the middle of the structure. The Brown boy was caught and instantly killed, but the other boy saved his life by jumping from the bridge.
