Relatives Wouldn’t Claim Her

The death of Mrs. Bruce Hickman, who was killed at Monticello Friday afternoon by a Panhandle train, seems to have been a tragic end to a series of domestic troubles. Her family refused to have anything to do with her and the remains were buried at public expense. Her hue blind was not present either, being detained at Good Hope, 111., where be and bis little daughter had been in a wreck the girl sustaining the loss of an arm. Mrs Hickman’s body was severed completely in two at the waist by the car wheels.
