construction, it is expected by the

It seems that there were two
freight trains going south, going in
what b termed sections, there being
only few minutes difference in their
time. The drawhead from 9 car on
the leading train pulled out, causing
the rear end Of the train, together
with the caboose to drop behind and
be run into by the second section OF

avert an accident, and although the
brakes were applied and the engine
reversed, it went into the caboose at
a good speed, breaking it to pieces
and damaging one or two cars.
In addition to that the engine Of
the second section was derailed, az
were other cars in the train. The
only person hurt was the engineer on
this train. who was only slightly
scratched and bruised, being fortunate
enough to get out of the collision in
time to save himself.

POWER SITES ARE

AND BUFFALO RIVERS
CINCINNATI CAPITALISTS HAVE
AN AGENT At WORK IN
TERRITORY.
KETTLEIMILLS PROPERTY WANTED
May Be Plan to Operate Middle Ten
nessee Railroad and Franklin In
terurban, With Electricity, and
Touch Tennessee River.

There is a current rumor that there
is % be considerable capital invested
in power sites in Middle Tennessee
by Cincinnati capitalists, and this ru-
NOR is being borne out by the fact
that there are negotiations going on
in this section for power sites and
rights of way along Duck river by
parties representing the Ohio city.
Options have been asked for the
Kettle Mills property, a site on the
farm OF Clifford Smith in Anderson's
Benz. and from various other parties
along the river.
These parties have secured sight
on Buffalo river IN Perry county, and
it is thought there are other sites un-
der consideration through this Sec
ton. There has been nothing given
out as yet, but there is an opinion
growing that the interurban line from
Nashville to Franklin and the Middle
Tennessee railroad from Franklin to
Leatherwood and Mt Pleasant ale to
be used as part of an interurban
system from Nashville to Memphis.
