FIRE*? LEGOT? Allb
engineer severely bruised.
About 7 o'clock last Saturday
evening an extra freight train.
No. o47, ran into an open switch
just below the Main street railroad
crossing. The monster
"copper head" engine and tender
were derailed and overturned
and nine cars out of the
twenty-one comprising the train
- ?4?ere completely wrecked Tlie
L debris of the wrec?t was piled
fifteen or twenty feet high and
the contents of the cars, con'
sisting mainly of fertilizeis and
lumber, were scattered along
both sides of the track. When
the crash came Engineer Pears'
son says that he instinctively
-Reversed his lever before being
I' thrown out of the cab. Mr
Pearson's lip was badly cut and
his nose broken, but fortunately
he suffered no serious injuries.

imagination can scarcely picture
T the horrible loss- of life that
t might have ensued. For a miscreant
who would deliberately
y tamper with a switch with intent
to wreck a passenger train,
V hanging is too good.
> The local passenger, No. 50,
had preceded the freight only
about a half hour, so that if the
V
switch were interfered with it
was done within this period of
ll"'time. The switch lock was
found by the side of the track
r several feet away still locked.
| All day long on Sunday a
n crowd of people thronged about
B the scene of the wreck curiousHly
watching the railroad hands
as they cleared away thewreck|S
age. The first train to pass after
the wreck was No 51, the loir
cal passenger, which went by
lb toward Charleston at lour
15 o'clock, just five hours behind
its scheduled time.

Sammie Godwin, the tell year-old in;

A few week- ago the writer stated * *
that Scipo Sinjjt^tarv, who some

came to them direct and from a ^la

If the writer had been in his usual

of a dozen reliable men; for while jm
it is safer to stand under a pile cli

* one of these things that "call for m
