Mr. Arthur Keever, well-known Hickory man, narrowly escaped death about noon today when he stepped in front of a freight engine near the passenger station and was dragged for a distance of between 50 and 75 feet before the engineer, unaware of the fact, stopped his locomotive. Mr. Keever was bruised and scratched, but no bones were broken. It is supposed that Mr. Keever, who does not see very well, did not observe the big engine.
From The Hickory Daily Record, Saturday, Nov. 19, 1921
