The wreck of Forepaugh's show
here Thursday morning at 4 a. m
was caused by the 2nd train of the
show running into the lst while
watering at the tank. Some six
cars were considerably smashed
while the caboose was n wreck
One show man had his collar bone
broken and arm dislocated. An
other had his head Jared so he had
fits. A boy who lives in Canada
and had run away from his parents
and was dead-heading with the show
was crushed internally, so it is
thought he will die. The wounded
were removed to Nashville. After
the wreck the shOwmen wanted tC
mob the r. r. men and for n while
it was dangerous to smell of rail
road grease, but finally they all got
peaceable and the day was passed
without disturbance. The Mont
gomery House fed the $50 men with
out exhausting its larder. Fore
paugh was very gentlemanly in his
bearing and made friends of every
| body. The herd Of - elephants
were loose on the streets. Lynn
vile enjoyed what few towns ever
had-a biz show free. Everybody
turned out to see all that was to be
seen and those who staid at home
and saw the show tease those who
went to Pulaski and missed it.
