Havana Man Killed as Train Hits Pickup
Elmer Hays, 74, of Havana was killed when the pickup in which he was riding was hit by a Rock Island freight train at Havana Thursday morning at about 9:15.

Conductor on the west-bound freight train was R.L. Vandiver of North Little Rock and engineer was Charlie Cauthron of Little Rock.
Parts of Hays' body were scattered for about 100 yards down the track and the pickup was dragged for about one-half mile before the train came to a stop.
