Crossing,

Yesterday morning K. G. 5.

P. track near the F. NJ. Henry
place, in the yard limits of the 7. &
P. road. A 7. & P. freight train
came down the grade bearing upon
the long string of cars coupled to a
K. C. S. engine, The engineer when
he got to the whistling board gave
the signal and applied his air, but it
failed to work and he saw that a
wreck was inevitable, and told his
fireman to prepare to jump. He re-
versed his lever and picking out a
soft and safe place made his
flying leap before the crash came.
The engine plowed into the X. Z. >.
which was a mixed tram and turned
over and derailed several cars-the
T. & P. engine leaving the track
telescoped a fiat car and did not go
down the dump. The track and
crossing was damaged badly. Pas

$40 a. m. for the south could not
get out and after waiting some
three hours, arrangements were
made with the T. S. & N. to run the
train over it's track via Shreveport.
The engineer pulling the 7. & P.
fright train, we learn had just been
advanced to his place and it was his
first trip and many railroad men re
gret his bad luck. The debris was
cleaned up during the day and
trains are now coming and going
out over the track as usual.
