STATESVILLE AND IREDELL COUNTY,
Engineer Folsom Severely injured and
Barely Escaped Death.

statesviile Landmark, Aug. 27th.
Four residences are in course of
construction in a single block If
one of the principal residence dis
trlcts OF the town, and work on
fifth will begin III short time.
G. G. Folsom, of Asheville, an
engineer in the service of the
Southern railway, was seriously
injured in the local railroad yards
Wednesday afternoon about 5:2O
o'clock. He was knocked from
the cab of a locomotive by the
standpipe. He is now at Billinga-
10y hospital, where he was taken
soon after the accident, and is
getting along as we'll as could be
expected. While his injuries are
quite serious they are not consid-
cred necessarily dangerous.
A thorough examination of Mr..
Folsom's injuries at the hospital
revealed that his head and face
are mass of cuts and bruises.
There are three very ugly wounds,
one just below his left eye. anoth-
er back of his left ear and anoth-
Ar over his right eye. The one
back of his ear is considered the
most dangerous.
A number of persons saw Mr..
Folsom when he fell and these
consider it almost miraculous that
he did not meet instant death.
All felt sure that either a hand or
a foot had been crushed off by the
wheels Of the engine, but fortu--
nately his head was nearest the
track and in the struggle none of
his limbs were thrown across the
rail.
Mr.. Folsom is mindle-aged
man aud has family. His wife
and sister were brought to States
Vile from Asheville on a special
srain late Wednesday night and
Mrs. Folsom is still with him at
the hospital. His sister returned
to Asheville yesterday.

Although he was tracked for con-
