FRISCO TRAIN NO. , GOES IN THE DITCH FRIDAY MORNING. TO BE FOLLOWED SATURDAY NIGHT BY NO. 6.

South bound Frisco train No :, known as the cannon ball, was wrecked Friday morning about eight o'clock one and a half miles south Of town, the accident ocGurr- ing this side the crossing below the home of J W Walkup The track is down grade at this point, and the train vas going at a good rate of speed, the engine, mail car, bagg- age car and combination car turn ing over when they left the track Two chair cars left the track but remained upright The accident happened just at the edge Of d edt which probably preve nted loss of lie and greater destruction to tie .zzain- Had it occurred a lit tle further down the track there is 10 telHng what the result would have been.
 As 1t was number of people were injured, the most serious be- iEg the fireman, H. B Ryker, who was scalded The engine turned over Oh the fireman's side, and how he escaped death is miracle. The engineer escaped with few scratches, and the passengers in the overturned coaches received only minor injuries All the coaches Were steel. and this also contribut- ed to the protection of the pass engers
 The track was torn up for dis tanee Of probably two hundred yards The passengers were trans lerred to another train brought up from the south, and the coaches which We're left on the track were brought te Springdale and placed on the siding Wreckers were talk en to the scene of the accident from both the north and south, and by three o'clock in the afternoon the track had been rebuilt so that trains could pass over II vas Saturday afternoon before the last coach was lifted from the ditch
 Willis Clark, former resident of Springdale. was mail clerk on the tiain, but aside from a bad scare and a severe shaking up, escaped in jury Miss Jean Giddings of this place was a passenger on the train, but the coach she was in never left
 
 far as We have learned has been able to arrive al any definite de- eision as to the cause of the wreck !, but 10 the uninitiated it looked as if 1t might have been caused by rotten ties. Probably threee- fourths Of the ties which were torn up were rotten and did not look as if they would hold spike
 Practically the entire population of the town, as well as people from Fayetteville and the surronding country, turned out to see the wreck and witness the work of the wreck ing crews
 This was the third wreck of the week in this section, the north bound cannon ball having gone in the ditch Tuesday night near Bright water and the north bound after noon train, No 702, having been de- layed for five hours near Lilburn Wednesday afternoon by the engine leaving the track
