BRIDEGROOM FELL FROM HOTEL WINDOW.
Mr. E. Peacock Who Was Recently Married Baldwin,
Has Serious Accident In Albany

Mr.. +. B. Peacock, the young man
who was married to Miss Georgia
Baldwin in Dawson last Tuesday morn.
ing met with serious accident in AL
bany Friday morning, in which he
came near losing his life. The Albany
Herald publishes the the following &C
count of the accident:
"The New Albany Hotel was the
scene of most unfortunate accident
this morning about 1920 o'clock, when
Mr., E. B. Peacock, one of the guests
of the hotel, fell from second story
window, sustaining injuries which are
serious, if not fatal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peacock came to this
city to, visit Mrs. Peacock's relatives,
Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Whitehead, at
the New Albany. The happy young
couple spent the first days of their
married life most delightfully."- to all
appearances, and were preparing to
go today to their home IN Douglas.
While in their room on the second
floor of the hotel shortly after 10
o'clock this morning, Mr.. Peacock
who had been complaining of sick
headache, said that he felt faint. He
asked his wife so get him drink of
cold water quick, while he went to the
window to get some fresh air. Mrs.

TWO NEGROES KILLED
BY A CENTRAL TRAIN
BOB SCOTT AND BEN HARDWICK MEET
TRAGIC DEATHS.
Charley Danny, Another Negro, Seriously
Injured and a Mule was Killed and
Wagon Torn Up.

On Monday morning about 6:3I
o'clock, one mile and a half west o
Dawson, a work train on .the Contra
railroad ran into farm wagon belong
ing to Mr.. L. G. Durham, killing two
negro men and seriously injuring the
third. The wagon was shattered into
splinters and one of the mules killed
while the other one escaped without
the slightest injury.
The accident occurred at the public
road crossing near the farm house OF
Mr.. G. Il. Cannon and on the road
lie aiding by the house.
The three negroes, Ben Hardwick,
Bob Scott and Charley Danny had left
tn , farm of Mr.. Durham, near where
the accident occurred and were on
tn cir way to town. When they reached
the railroad crossing, it is said that
they were laughing and talking and
did not realize that the train, which
was running fast to make Dawson to
sidntrack for the early morning pas
senger, was bearing down upon them.
The train struck the wagon in the
center, swapping it in twain, carrying
Ben Hard wick, who was driving the
team, nearly FIVE hundred yards down
the track, and when the engine was
stopped the negro was dead. Bob Scott
who was thrown to the left of the en-
CINE lived but few minutes after as
sistance reached him, and Charley
Danny, the other negro who miracu-
lousy escaped instant death, received
a scalp wound and internal injuries.
Danny was put on the train and brought
to Dawson and sent to the Office of DR..
Guy Chappell for medical attention.
DR.. Chappell dressed the wounds of
the injured negro and says that unless
his internal injuries are greater than
he thinks he will soon recover.
The harness was snatched from both
mules and the mule that was killed
walked 25 or 30 yards and fell dead.
The escape of the uninjured mule
seems miraculous.
The engineer and fireman of the
train claim that they signaled on APP
preaching the crossing and that the
negroes saw the train and whipped up
the mules to make the crossing ahead
of the train, that they were going
down grade and it was impossible to
stop the train before hitting the wag'
on. Negroes who were near the scene
of the accident say the train did not
signal for the crossing until the wag.
