| SERIOUS WRECE
AT JOHNSTON.
I ?Engineer
Norton and Fireman Dean
i Meets Tragic Death?Flagman Did
Not Proteci His Train and Is Held
Responsible.
Yesterday morning about 1 o'clock
there was a rear end colision between
two freight trains at Johnston, in
which Engineer Norton, of New York,
and Fireman C. Dean, colored, of
Ninety Six, met tragic deaths. The
former was crashed in his cab and his
body badly burned. Dean was badly
bruised and died from shock while !
physicians were amputating a lacerated
foot.
While the wrecking crew was at
work removing the -debris, Foreman ;
Winters, of the wrecking train, was |
struck in the head by a link which j
flew out of a hoisting,chain and is, at \
this writing, unconscious at the Columbia
hospital, with little hopes for!
his recovery.
Chairman B. L. Caughman of the
Railroad Commission, who went at
cnce to the scene, says:
' "My findings as to the cause of the j
said wreck after consultation with j
Conductor Wright and Engineer Stew- j
art, I am fully of the opinion that the :
entire cause was from wilful neglect j
of Flagman Mooring as he failed to
protect his train undter rule 99, as well
as from Mr. Wright's own testimony
that he failed i& the discharge of his
duty.
