TRAIN PASSES OVER COLORED PREACHER Rev. W. F. Rice Happens to What Might Be Termed "Peculiar Accident.' He flagged the train; it backed, passed over his body; he crawled out. This is what happened to Rev. W. "F. Rice at Haskell's Station on Friday night, the first inst. __ u._ ine incident as reiaieu uy mc "star" to this paper is as follows: The train, No. 18, from Atlanta, due to arrive in Abbeville about ten p. m., was approaching Haskell's and Rev. Rice, wanting to come to the city .proceeded to flag it' with a torch. Evidently the train crew did not see the signal in time to stop at the station, and ran past some distance. Heretofore when the train passed the Reverend he would run to it, to keep the train from having to back up. But this time they ran over the little trestle and were backing, while Rice was running toward it on the trestle. Therefore, being unable to tell the train was moving until almost upon him. When one of the crew shouted for him to look out, his foot slipped and he fell through the trestle. Before he could get up the train was passing over him. After the train stopped the crew went up to gather the fragments of what was once Rev. Rice, but upon arriving at the engine i they found him crawling out beI tween the drive wheals, none the 1 worse from his experience, other than the brake-beams playing "tag" | with his back as they would pass over him. Upon being asked if'the train killed him when it passed over 1 his body the Rev. said, "I don't think so."
