Gastonia Gazette, March S: Ray
mond Barber, a young white man en-

from instant death Saturday after
noon when he was struck by the en-
gine Of southbound passenger train
No. Al on the Southern about 5.35
o'clock, the accident occurring at the
passenger depot and in the presence Of
several hundred people who composed
the Saturday afternoon crowd of trav-
elers and loafers. Barber was knock
ed some distance and was picked up
in an unconscious condition. 1t was
found that he had severe bruises about
the head, but it developed that there
were no fractures or wounds of very
grave nature. He was given medical
attention and taken to the city hall,
being later in the evening removed to
his home at the Gray mill Those who
witnessed the accident state that Bar
her was drinking, that he was stand
ing near the track and reeled or fell
just as the engine approached. Had
it not been for the fact that the train
was slowing down to stop Barber
would very probably have lost his
life. $500. AT her home one mile from
