ā€¦ Roach Rice was killed by a passenger about one mile south of Bowers Station. He was drunk and got down on the track. George Campbell was engineer. He thought it was a hot and he saw it was a man, it was too late to stop. The engine passed over him and he lay under the baggage car. They brought him to town and he died in the depot. I was there and saw him lying on the floor (not sure who ā€œIā€ is ā€“ probably Aniel Booher)
