Observer: A wreck occurred on the
railroad between Newton and Hickory
Saturday afternoon. Between these
points the C.. & NV runs over the
Southerns track. The work train OF
the former going south became disa-
bled, and before a flagman got back
proper distance a Southern freight train
came along and being unable to stop
ran into the rear end Of the work train.
The engineer and fireman on the
freight jumped. No one was hurt. The
smokestack and other fixtures on top
of the Southern engine were battered up
a little, while three Of the Carolina and
North Western cars were demolished.
Some of the hands on the work train
tanked up before leaving Hickory and
after the accident got into dispute
about the wreck, which ended In
fight. One of the participants after ex-
animation was bound over to the SUI,
perior court, while the other left before
the arrival of the officer.
