TWO KILLED AND ONE HURT
SEABOARD AIR LINE TRAINS
COLLIDE AT STEWARDS MILL.
Failure to Receive Orders Response

Watch STOPPED at 6:25.

Failure to Receive Orders Response
BILE for Wreck. Dead Engineers
Watch Stopped at 6:25.
Two killed outright, one fatally
injured and several trainmen more
Or less hurt was the result OF
head-on collision between two Sea-
board Air Line trains Saturday night
at Stewards mill, two miles from
Plains.
The dead are Engineer Robert
Finch of freight train No. 10, Amer
icus to Montgomery; John Colbert,
colored, fiagman on No. 10. The
fatally injured is Fireman Thomas
Stanley.
viii Stanley, white of No. 10, left
leg crushed and badly mutilated, al
so severely scalded on body. His in
iuries are not regarded as necessa-
rily fatal. Several of the colored
train crew of the two trains are more
or less injured, but none others IA
tally.
The collision occurred early in the
night. The trains, through freight
and a construction train, were to
have met at New Point. Failure to
give orders to the freight train it is
believed caused the wreck, as the
train ran past New Point and met
the construction train two miles be-
yond that station. Engineer Finch
attempted to jump, as did Fireman
Stanley and the colored brakeman,
but they were too late, all being
caught under the mass of wreck
age.
The crew of the construction train
saw the approaching freight in time
to Jump, and no one aboard the con-
struction train was injured seriously.
The collision occurred at the foot
of a steep grade, the impact stop
ping the greater part of the freight
train on the Stewart mill trestle.
Both engines we're demolished, as
were six cars of the freight train.
Engineer Finch's watch stopped at
6.25 o'clock. He was 20 years old
and was to have been married short
". Fireman Stanley resides In
Americas and has family
Hundreds of sightseers were out
in automobiles to see the disaster.
