Lexington, June 14—Theodore Beck, of this city, was instantly killed about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon when struck by a southbound Southern freight train about three miles south of Lexington. The barefoot lad, who had been out hunting plums, had stepped out of the way of a northbound train and was watching it when he met death. The boy’s father died about two months ago after having been an invalid for a year or so following injuries sustained when an automobile struck a buggy in which he was riding.
