Darlington Republican,: \ serious
and almost fatal accident occurred
on the extra train which came into
the city last Sunday. An employee
of the road from. Monroe, who's
name we cannot learn, was riding
in the engine cab. One of the
windows near him was partly
broken out, and he had his hand
through the opening, when the
train gave a jerk, throwing his arm
down on the ragged edge of the
glass, cutting the artery near the
wrist. A handkerchief was wrapped
around it, instead of knotting il
above the cut, and although the
train only ran from the lower bridge
to the city, the man tainted while
being taken into the doctors office.
