ACCIDENT ON sRABoARD.
vestibuls No "a Hits Rear Of Local Freight
ct Lakeview.

There was slight rear end accident
on the Seaboard Air Line at Lakeview
early yesterday morning, and in conse-
puence No. "a, the vestibule due here at
1:25 was about eight hours late.
A local freight was standing on the
main line at Lakeview when the vestibule
came along and hit the rear car.
1t is said the accident occurred from
the fact that the flagman did not go a
sufficient distance back to flag No "a,
which is the heaviest train operated by
the Seaboard Air Line, and therefore re-
quires a greater distance in which to be
stopped.
Engineer Vaughn, of the vestibule, was
slightly hurt, and his fireman was bruised
by jumping.
The engine of the passenger train was
banged up a little, and the rear car Of
the local freight somewhat damaged.
