countered the hand car, and was too
close upon 1t for the engineer to stop.
The men on the car sighted, or heard
the freight before 1t reached them, and
1t is said that they were struck while
endeavoring to get the car of the
track. The injured men were brought
to this city and their wounds were
dressed by DR.. S. B. Crawley, the rail-
road company's surgeon at this place
They were then put on board No. IL
and carried on to their homes. The
name Of the white section man was
B. F. Mitchell, and the negroes were
Dave and Charlie McCordel. None ,f
the wounds are likely to prove Iatal.
