ONLY SEVEN PERSONS INJURED
Train Jumps the Track and Runs
into Woods.

Norfolk, Va, April 5.-Seven per-
sons were injured in a wreck ON the
Norfolk and Western railroad during
the day. But for the vigilance of
Mark Noble, engineer of the train, who
was watching for just such a thing as
an open switch, which caused the
wreck, probably many of the fifty or
sixty passengers aboard would have
been killed. The train was running at
a high rate of speed when Engineer
Noble spied the open switch thirty
yards away. Immediately he threw
on his emergency brakes, greatly re-
ducing the speed by the time the en-
CINE struck the switch. The train
jumped the track, then jumped an adj
joining ditch and raj ~headlong into
n~eighboring woods before it stopped.
The engineer vas picked up twenty
feet ahead of the engine. The train
careened but did not turn over. No
was killed.
1t is said the switch had been left
open after a freight which passed
early in the morning.
