BURLINGTON MEN
IN kENMARE WRECK
Fourteen Cars Smashed to Smithereens Near
kenmare Thursday and Two Miners
Badly Injured Bicycles Had Broken
Down and Side Door Pullman Char
tered.
From Burlington Correspondent.

From Burlington Correspondent.
Charley Richards and Hans
kreGnO, two we'll known miners
who have been working in the
old Davis mine at Burlington
met with an accident in the wreck
that occurred on the 500 line be-
tween BOWbelIs and Kenmare last
week, and which most Fortunate
~ did not terminate fatally for
them-though Richards was
badly injured and Kregno the
recipient OF a badly sprained
ankle. 1t appears that the boys
rode their wheels from this point
to BOWbells, where their wheels
broke down. 4 500 line freight
was standing; on the track at
DOWbelIs, and they having a de-
sire to go to Nenmare they put
their wheels in IN open box car
and also bestowed themselves
therein. All went as "lOyely as
q marriage bell,' SO to speak,
till the train was coming down
the kenmare hill at IL 10 mile
clip when the car they were in
jumped the track, and thirteen
other ones followed suit, making
kindling wood OF all them and Il
bad wreck in general. That the
boys escaped being killed out
right is Il miracle, as the car they
we're in was the "stOrm center'
OF the wreck, as it We're, and was
entirely demolished. When Rich
ards was dug out Of the wreck,
he had sustained Il broken nose,
and Il badly bruised body. kreg-
no escaped with q badly sprained
ankle, and isconeratulating him.
self upon his wonderful escape
from the clutches of the Grim
heApor. According to reports
none OF the train crew were in jur-
ed. Both men are getting along
finely, and It's said that down in
the vast fields OF literature of the
human heart may be found the
outlines Of the profound oath
that they have taken against
ever riding in a 500 line side door
Pullman. Walking will be good
enough for them.

The State, 18th.

The news that Mr.. K Miller
Boy kin. president of the Farmers
and Merchants bank of Camden,
had accidentally shot and killed
himself was followed few hours
later yesterday evening by the
news that Mr.. E. @. Zemp, cashier
of the same bank, had committed
suicide.
\ Mr.. Boykin's dead body was
found few minutes after the
\ fatal shot. He had Just left his
family with the declared purpose
OF going out TO shoot a hawk
which had carried a chicken to
he woods, and in climbing the
\ fence the gun was discharged.
There was no other theory advan-
ced but that the shot had been
h faccidentally fred.
Of Mr.. Xemp's suicide there is
no doubt. He went to barn
n about Z o'clock in the evening
four hours after Mr.. Boykin's
\ death-put his pistol barrel in
his mouth and pulled the trigger.
His body was found there about
\ $50 o'clock.

an accidental discharge of his
gun, having gone out to shoot a
h hawk which had been annoying
y his chickens.
n Mr.. Boykin left his office at
v his regular dinner hour and
while waiting at his home on
dinner, servant came in and
notified him that a hawk was in
\ the yard. He secured his gun,

is that while he was in the act of
