Some More Wacky Headlines
"Cut Almost in Two. Horrible Death of Miss Nora Curtis Under an Engine's Wheels."
"Ripped Him Open. Negress Kills Man Who Enters Her Home Refusing to Give His Name."
"A Monstrous Crime. The Unnatural Father Immured in Wilson Jail."
"Death Under Wheels. Negro Boy's Frolic Costs Him His Life."
(The above were from the Raleigh North Carolinian, 1903)
And one more from the Henderson Gold Leaf, circa 1880:
"Train Reeking in Gore. It Plowed Through a Herd of Cows and Killed Thirty Two."
Obviously I can't think of anything original to post, so here's some. . .
