The body of Steve Thompson, formerly of Milo, was brought in this morning on 
Coast Line train 57, from Waycross, Ga., where he died of malarial fever.
Mr. Thompson has been in the employ of the Coast Line for about two years, on 
bridge work, we learn. It is stated that he was here only a short time ago, 
but on returning to his work, he was taken with malarial fever and had to go 
to the hospital of the Coast Line at Waycross, where he succumbed.
He leaves a wife to mourn his loss. Mrs. Thompson went to Waycross and accompanied 
the body here this morning.
