<DIV align=left> Dan Albers formerly of Bluefield, a freight
conductor on the Sciota division of the Norfolk and Western, was shot and
instantly killed by a hobo yesterday afternoon. Albers ejected the hobo
from a box car on his train when the latter drew a gun and fired one shot.
The bullet entered the right eye and passed entirely through his head.</DIV>
