D. P. PEABODY HURT
IN A TRAIN WRECK

J. o. Walker of Pensacola, father
of Mrs. D. P. Peabody, whose hus-
band was injured in a train wreck
yesterday, in response to inquiries
from Mr.. Walker, telephone from
New Orleans that, while he was in
jured, he was not seriously hurt, and
that he was able to continue his trip
to Washington, for which place he
was bound when the trains collided,
as noted in the telegraph columns of
The Journal of this morning.
Mr.. Walker had number of tele-
phone inquiries as to the condition of
his son-in-law, following the receipt
of the news in Pensacola that he was
on one of the trains which was in the
crash, and he called up the New Or
leans Office of Mr.. Peabody to ascer-
tain his true condition. The fact that
his injuries will not prove to be as
serious as reported in the first press
dispatches will be good news to
friends in Pensacola. ..
