compelling council TO appoint one
from that party as a commissioner

The announcement of the writ of

pie OF Bluefield as IL was the CON

taken in the Circuit Court was not
reduced TO writing
The many friends of both the Dem

BAD WRECK
AT COOpERS
Freight Conductor Badly Hurt

Rather a serious wreck occurred at
Coopers. few miles west of here.
on Thursday night at II o'clock.
as result Of the engine splitting q
switch and jumping the track The
engine went down high embank-
ment and plunged into the water
which was very deep at that point.
but fortunately all escaped injury.
except the conductor. who was bad
ly hurt The engine and FIVE loaded
hopper cars were completely demoI-
ished and nearly three hundred tons
Of coal were thrown into the river.
II seems that the person fin charge
of the switch left II open for train
which was going in an opposite di-
rection, and as IL happened the train
was delayed. and the crew on the
unfortunate train thinking that il
had passed. went on. with the result
as stated above. The wreck crew was
on the scene in a few hours. and
although traffic was delayed for some
time we understand that at this time
the wreck has ben cimpletely cleared
and trains are running as usual
