Ray Comer Killed in Accident at Hammond Sunday.

Ray Comer, son of James Comer, formerly of this county, and a grandson of M. P. Comer of Barkley tp., employed by the Home Lumber Co., of Hammond, was buried at Fair Oaks yesterday, the body being brought in on the 10:30 train from Hammond. Young Corner, who was 23 years of age, had drove out of Hammond Sunday morning with Rudolph Blankenborg behind on a motorcycle belonging to John Miller, which Comer had undertaken to demonstrate to Blankenborg, a prospective buyer. Returning towards Hammond, out of Highland, Comer came to the deep cut which the C. I. & S. Ry., crosses at the base. The control of the machine Comer rode was opposite to that of the machine he owned, which was being repaired, and at the approach of a passenger train from the east, he evidently lost control of the machine by throwing it in full speed instead of shutting off the power. The motorcycle struck the second passenger coach and the riders catapaulted through the air and their heads were crushed against the car. Both were dead when found, and the bodies showed many bones broken by the crash. There are no warning bells and the railroad company has no flagman at this crossing, it is said.
