Charlotte, N.C., April 21—William Butler, 45, negro, was struck by a train here and his arm cut from near the shoulder while he was in a crowd that had gone to the station to meet the train. The train was carrying Conrad V. Dykeman, imperial potentate of the Shrine, and there was a band at the station. It was supposed that Butler became interested in the music and stepped in front of the train as it rolled into the station. Butler’s little girl was with him at the time.
