ON THE ENSLEY SOUTHERN

Ensley, April 14-(Special)-As a result of an open switch about one and half miles below this city on the Ensley Southern railway last night about 9:3o o'clock an incoming mixed train from Short Creek ran into a string of freight cars on a siding and Fireman Nelson Olson, a white man and Head Brakeman Pat rolbert' negro weg painfully in jured.
 A passenger coach attached to the train was well filled with people, but none was injured. Engineer ". c. Morley was also uninjured, though he had mar row escape as also did a number of the passengers.
 The train was going with such force that the cars forced the tender into the cab of the engine, reducing it to total wreck
 Mr. Olson and the negro Tolbert were badly crushed about the body and legs. Both of Olson's legs were fractured and badly mangled. The negro suffered frae- ture of one leg, but was otherwise mangled.
 They were carried to Copeland & Der rvs infirmary in Birmingham where they were resting as well as could be expected at late hour tonight Their injuries are not considered fatal.
 Engineer Morley stated after the ae- cident that he could not understand how the switch was open as it was closed as the train went down to Short Creek earlier in the evening. It is very evi- dent that some miscreant tempered with it after the train passed over on It's way out of this city.
 The officials of the road are investigat- ing the matter
