THF. BASTOVER WRECK.
cgro Tramps Badly Battered?Kiii
lirt* Toms Creek Trestle Demolish?
ed.
it was learned hers Thursday
thai the wreck, to A. C. L. freight
train, No. 221, going from Columbia
to Charleston, which occurred Wed?
nesday morning, at Toms Creek tres?
tle, near Kastover, was caused by the
flange of one of the coal cars mount?
ing the rail, and Anally jumping the
track, and running along on the ties
to tin- trestle until it iandgd at the
bottom of the trestle, the entire tres?
tle structure being demolished.
The trestle is about lOO feet long.
Fourteen cars of the train were de?
railed, and piled high In tbe air, a
mass of wreckage.
In one car, loaded with machinery,
was a stationary boiler smoke stack;
and a negro tramp beating his way
from Columbia to this city, and
bound for Mar's Bluff, had crawled
in the smoke stack to hide from the
conductor.
When the smash-up occurred, this
?tack was thrown 60 feet from the
track, out into a field, and the "hobo"
w Ith it.
When the noise had subsided, the
negro crawled out, and was found
bleeding and severely battered, but
still far from being "out of the
light." lie was sent to a hospital in
Columbia to have his wounds dress?
ed.
According to the negro's statement,
there was a white tramp aboard the
train when it left Columbia, but he
has not yet been found, and it is
feared that, if he was on the train at
the time the wreck occurred, he was
caught under the wreckage In the
trestle.
Immediately after the wreck oc?
curred, a wrecking train was dis?
patched to the scene, from Florence,
to clear the main line, but it was
found to be such a bad wreck, that
the wrecking train from South Rocky
Mount was also sent down to assist
in the work.
The wreckage has been sufficiently
cleared away for the main line to
be used again, and traffic over the
road was resumed Thursday.

AN OPPORTUNITY?In January af?
ter the last horse show in Sumter
I purchased the handsome horse
which was awarded the blue rib?
bon (first prize) by the judges, they
having decided that he was the
best single harness horse on exhibi?
tion. He is without blemish, kind
and sensible and the kind of horse
that is not often on the market.
Having determined not to keep
1 a horse, I am offering him for sale.
