FELL FROM y BRIDGE.
Annie Costcn, colored, stood on the
fed. a train was coming, Annie
thought, and she didn't have time to
flee. She had her shoes off. She was
walking over the Seaboard Air Line
bridge where that road crosses the Suf-
folk and Carolina. She sat on n piece
of timber to rest her feet when a train
blew Then she fell to the Suffolk and
Carolina track 1875 feet below and
landed on a rail.
Five men were gotten together, and
they brought her to Suffolk on q
stretcher. DIR. Gibson did what he
could to relieve the woman's suffering.
There was a terrible cash on the leg,
an abrasion on the head and other
bruises. a colored man begged enough
money to send her homo and had some
to spare.
There are several theories about the
| accident. Operator Winstead, of Suf-
| folk, says there was no train on the
| Seaboard road anywhere near the
bridge at the time. The woman prob
| ably sat down to look after her shoes
| and lost her balance. Her injuries will
not likely be fatal.
