Fort Mill Men in Wreck.
Messrs. Carey Epps and Eugene
Hall had quite an exciting
experience Thursday night at
King's Mountain, while returning
from Clemson college to their
homes in Fort Mill. The train i
on which they were passengers
was derailed at King's Mountain
and six of the cars were thrown
against the side of the big cut
in which the accident occurred.
The car in which Mr. Hall was,
riding was among the number
that left the rails and overturned,
but Mr. Epps was in one of the
rear Pullmans that remained on
the rails. Neither of the young
men were injured. The train
was running at a low rat'i of
speed on account of a city ordinance
and for this reason the
train was quickly brought to a
stop. Messrs. Epps and Hall
stated that there was great excitement
among the lady passengers
when the wreck occurred,
but none of the passengese were
seriously injured and the worst
damage was tp the track, which
was torn up for a hundred or
more yards. The train was delayed
about four hours on account
of the accident.
