FRONT WHEELS OF
engine LEFT TRACK
Gulf and Ship Island North Bound
Passenger Train Had Narrow Escape
Last Niqht from Going Into Ditch.
Train Delayed Half an Hour.

The northbound passenger train
on the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad
came near to being wrecked last night
a short distance beyond Ralston, and
the passengers had slight shakeup
and a great scare.
Near Ralston is trestle and just be-
yond this trestle some miscreant had
taken a rope and had wrapped it tight
and fast six times around one OF the
rails. When the passenger train came
laundering on, with the man at the
throttle not knowing the danger ahead,
the train struck the rope. The air
brakes were applied and notwithstand'
ing the two front wheels of the engine
had jumped the track, the train with
it's large load of human freight was
brought to a standstill just after pass
ing over the trestle.
The passengers were not so much
. shaken up as they were frightened
They knew something was wrong, but
did not know what it was. There was
a large crowd aboard and had the
train gone down the trestle as the evif-
minded miscreant evidently intended,
the disaster would have been appall-
ing.
No clue was found to the identity
of the person who tied the rope around
the rail, but the passengers and train
crew were thankful that it was no
worse.
The wheels that were off the rails
were soon gotten back and with about
half an hours delay, the train came Oh
to Hattiesburg.
