Reckless Railroading,

The danger to the public of what is termed running Or flying switches in the yards of the Choctaw railroad in the city is becoming more alarming and dangerous every day. Scarcely a day passes but what some accident Is narrowly averted Last Saturday a switch engine caught the end of the sidewalk at the crossing on Izard street, tearing it from it's foundation. On Monday car became unmanage- able on one of the spur tracks on the north side of the old freight depot, and in an endeavor to catch it, the engine gave it bump, and drove it nearly across Rosser street, the car striking a wagon to which valuable mule belonging to the Forrest City Grocer Go, which was hitched to a post near the sidewalk, was attached, completely demolishing the wagon, the mule barely escaping. The loss to the Grocer Co.,, is about Sl50, aside from the inconvenience. Running or flying switches should be abolished, before someone is killed or maimed for life.
