Longview, Tex., Sept 7. -- Two boys, aged 14 and 18, were instantly killed by a train on the Texas & Pacific east of Hallville, nine miles east of this place.  They were Marshall Parnell of Atchison, Ark., and William Nobles of Dallas.  The bodies were found by the crew of a freight train about midnight last night, and the authorities at Hallville were notified and communication was had with the parents of the boys.  The remains will be cared for until called for.

+ + + Published in the Galveston Daily News, 8 Sep 1909.  Hallsville is located in Harrison County, TX and Longview is in neighboring Gregg County.  We were unable to locate a city in Arkansas named Atchison, Atchinson, etc.  Transcriber is not a relative and has no further information regarding these families.
