LAGRANGE, N c., August 1.-THE water
mill on Bear Creek, known as the JOY
ner mill, belonging to Mrs. L. ]. Joyner
about two miles south of LAGRANGE, col
lapsed last night and is a complete wreck.
No one was present at the time the acci-
dent occurred The timbers had grad
ually decayed and were undermined by
the water. A large portion of the pond
is now dry and the fish are being caught
in numbers.
The building was erected about twenty
five years ago at a cost of between two
and three thousand dollars including the
machinery. The latter is much damaged
and is perhaps IA total loss. The mill was
being operated by Mr.. William Best, who
with other parties. lost large quantity
of grain, meal, etc.
The past week has been very produc
tive of accidents and losses by storms in
this section. The hail damaged the crops
in Mr.. F. R. Hodges farm to the extent
of five hundred dollars. Lightning struck
pack-house on Mr.. William Fields farm
near Jasen. Several persons were in the
house and two were badly shocked Mr.
Measly, one of the parties, although able
to be up, still suffers severely from the
effects of the shock.

THE sALUDA MOUNTAIN HORROR
a Detailed Story of the Runaway and Fright
ful Wreck.
Especial to News and Observer


Asheville, N. c.. August IA wreck
ing crew found the body of Engineer ]
H. Averill, who was killed in the wreck
on Saluda Mountain, today, and it was
taken to Charleston by Colonel Averil
for burial. Late today the body of Fire
men c. ID. Hare, of Cleveland county
was found. Fireman J. B. Sheriff. was
caught beneath the engine ana tender
and his legs crushed. He was taken to
Saluda, where both legs were amputa
ted. He will probably recover.
A full story of the wreck follows:
At Saluda the train held up about
90 minutes and took things easy. The
brakes are always inspected at Saluda
t being at the top of the mountain and
the beginning of the steep grade down
the mountain. Yesterday the inspection
was particularly thorough. Engineer
Averill and his brother, who works in
a drug store near the depot, we're with
the inspectors as they began at the en-
glne and looked over each car in turn.
Averill's brother remarked on the fine
condition of the cars and brakes and
the brake shoes. Another cause of the
delay at Saluda was waiting for the
mountain brakemen." There are six Of
these brakemen and every t.mc train
goes down The mountain two of them are
taken on to help twist the hand brakes.
Yesterday there were two trains ahead
OF the one wrecked and one behind 1t,
and they were waiting tor the mountain
brakemen to come back up. When these
men showed up the train pulled out.
AS Is always the case, the brakes were
applied from the start and the engine
had to pull, despite the down grade. All
went we'll for mile ard a half, but
what took place after that was another
story. Cars began to slip along faster
and faster and the brakemen ran over
the coal cars twisting on their brake
sticks as hard as they could AT what is
known as the ''33 mile straight" a
stretch near the SO mile post, the train
had taken on a dangerous speed. At this
point the crew saw the engineer reverse
and give the engine steam, but the train
did not slack a moment. drlzzle was
falling at the time, making the rails wet
and slippery. From this point on down
to Slaughter Pen Cut" a mile and a
half further, the train rushed at stead
lily increasing speed, estimated at 60 to
rs miles an hour At the cut there was a
terrific crash as the engine left the
track and the coal cars piled on top of it,
making pile of wreckage 80 feet high
and filling the cut. All the train crew
behind the first train had escaped with
a severe shaking up. They landed on
the ground beside the cars. They got

WRECK NEAR MAXTON
The Town Shaken by a Crash
/, Which Two are
Killed.
Especial to News and Observer }


Maxton, N. c., August 14.-About 11:tj
O'Clock last night, an excursion train OF
ten cars returning from Wilmington, ran
head on into the caboose of watermelon
train. The engine of the water melon
train had gone up the road for water and
left the train standing on the main line.
The engineer had notified the f1agman
to look out for the excursion train and
flag it down. The fagman went into his
ca boose and supposedly went to sleep.
The excursion train then came along and
crashed into the watermelon train. The
engine OF the excursion train went through
the caboose, killing the flagman and hor-
ribly mangling him, the body being severed
about the waist. The tender on the ex.
cursion train was driven into the
first passenger coach of the same, com
pletely wrecking it and killing negro
named Gardner and seriously woundiGg G
three others.
The engineer of the excursion train
jumped and was unhurt. The fireman re.
manned on the engine and by a miracle
was not killed. A portion of the track
was torn up and the wrecked caboose
burned.
A wrecking train and crew came from
Hamlet and are just getting the track
clear this morning. Coroner e. F. McRae
held an inquest this morning and found
that the two killed came to their deaths
as above stated. There is a rumor that
the flagman was drunk.
The collision last night made great
crash and awoke half the people in town
who went out to see the wreck.

Guilty, Declares the Jury Of
Jett and White.
JET, CALM Indifferent
Thus He Appears When Sentence is Pronounced
---White's Face FIushes and His Eyes Fill
With Iears---Motion for New

(By the Associated Press.)

Cynthiana, KY, Aug. 4.-The jury IN
the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas White,
charged with the assassination OF James
B. Marcum at Jackson, KY, returned a
verdict of guilty today, fixing the punish
ment of each at life Imprisonment. The
verdict was returned at time when there
were but few persons in the court room.
The only attorney present was County At
torney Webster. Jett received the verdict
with comparative Indifference and calm
ness. White, who has been apparently
under a severe strain during the trial,
flushed up and his eyes filled with tears.
The verdict occasioned little surprise. The
only question which caused the delay, it is
said, was whether to make the punish
ment death or life Imprisonment.
Attorneys Blanton and Golden, for the
defense, were absent when the jury came
into court and Judge Osborne sent for
them and told them to make their motion
for a new trial. The motion was there
upon filed and the court took it under
advisement. When it was announced that
the jury had come out crowd gathered
at the court room, but it was quiet and
orderly, all the mountain men having
gone to their homes.
Colonel Byrd, who prosecuted the pris-
oners, said he was disappointed in the case
as he had hoped for verdict fixing the
death penalty.
The case has been on trial almost three
weeks. having been begun July q. AT the
first trial at Jackson the jury disagreed
and it is believed that the verdict today
was a compromise with juror opposed
to capital punishment
The friends of Captain B. l.. Even and
other witnesses for the prosecution have
suffered greatly and living in fear of their
lives, are greatly relieved There have
been twenty-seven lives lost within the
past two years in the Hargis- Cockrill feud
in Breathitt county, and this is the first
conviction. No arrests or indictments had
been made until last May, when the troops
were ordered to Jackson to protect the
grand jury and afterward the trial jury
and witnesses.
Jett is still under Indictment charged
with killing Town Marshal Cockrill Jett
said last night the rope had never beer
made with which to hang him, but he
made no remarks today.
