Who is luckier than Sid Garwood at
his engine No. II? While coming north
pulling the accommodation few Sat-
urday nights ago near Holly Springs

and the wheel on the right side was
thrown from the track, the engine 60
ing almost the length of the train De-
fore Mr.. GarW God could stop. 1t is a
wonder the parallel roads did not tear
off the cab and kill engineer Garwood,
| but as it was luck was with him. He
has never had serious wreck, never
was disabled and his engine is one of
| the few that has never turned over
