MEN MEET
DEATH BY VIOLENCE
Twelve Burned to Death in a Wreck on Railroad
and Six Fatally Crushed by Rock Slide
in Roanoke, Virginia

Roanoke, Va, May S-Six men we're
killed and five others injured, three Of
them fatally, by a slide of rock in the
east end Of tunnel No. 2 at Eggleston
Springs, Giles county, on the Norfolk
and Western railroad. Railroad con-
tractors were engaged in double
tracking the two tunnels at the point
named and when the tunneling force
had removed the earth and stone for
the railroad tracks at the point where
the calamity occurred a huge slide Of
solid stone gave way on the mountain
side and me down at an angle Of
about 40 d rees, striking the gang Of
laborers at work fairly and crushing
the life out of six men. T'nis strata
of solid rock was connected only by
clay seams and when the foundation
was removed the strata, some 80 feet
long, fell without warning, catching the
men in a death trap. One man was in
a niche of the tunnelway and was only
grazed on the face and head, escaping
with slight injuries. He was removed
without great difficulty. A second
man, who stood on the outer edge Of
the slide. was only slightly hurt, but
three others were more unfortunate
and were injured so badly that it is
feared they will die. The bodies of the
other six men, some of whom arc
white, are still under the mountain
slide.

Horribly ManoIed.
The body was picked up a broken
macs Of bones and lacerated flesh. The
right foot and hand were entirely cut
on, and the head badly cut in num-

ground for suspicion OF foul play, as
II Is hardly likely that a man would be

man came 10 his death by accident. and
accordingly did not notify the police
of the particulars in the case. He has
communicated with the relatives Of the
