Thornton, Charles

Another Person Killed at Georgetown.
A fatal accident occurred at Georgetown on Monday night, to a man named Charles Thornton, a painter, from Toronto, who has been working at Georgetown a short time. It is supposed he attempted to get on a west-bound train, when he slipped and fell under the wheels. Both legs were so badly crushed that the doctors found it necessary to amputate them below the knees. He lived, however, only for about two hours. He had been drinking heavily.
