killed when a freight train backing
up the hill from Rowland about two
o'clock Thursday afternoon, struck
his Ford motor car. The machine
was torn into smithereens, but DIR.

DIR. O'Bannon had started out Lam

freight train backing up from his
right as he started across the tracks,
his attention being diverted to some
freight cars on the siding on his left.
Before he knew it, the rear car was
upon him, struck his machine near
the front end, and threw it to the
left. Dr. O'Bannon jumped for his
life and it was well that he did so,
for in few seconds, quicker than it
takes to tell it, his car was a mass of
scrap. His car was a Ford runabout
which he has used extensively in his
practice.

BABY GIRLS
BURN TO DEATH
MIR. and Mrs. Joe Hopkins, Near Grab
Orchard, Lose Both Children
When Dwelling Is Destroyed

The two baby daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Hopkins, who live about
three miles east of Crab Orchard in
the Green Brier section, burned to
death in their home Thursday af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Hopkins was working on the
farm, and his wife, left the children
asleep on their bed while she went to
a spring to get some water. While
at the spring she noticed smoke comI
ing from the home, and was horri-
fled to see the roof a mass of flames.
Her heart agonized with fear for her
darlings, she ran to the house.
When close to it she heard her
babies screaming. The house was
still standing when she got close to
it, but as she prepared to leap into
the mass of flames and smoke, the
whole structure fell in and the
screams of the little ones were still
ed forever.
Mrs. Hopkins was almost frantic
with grief and agony. Her husband
came quickly, and neighbors soon
came, but nothing could be done.
There was no possible chance of res
cue after the house had fallen. in:
The dwelling was one-story light
frame building and burned like tin
der.
Neighbors afterward found the
bodies of the two little ones, burn
ed to cinders. The bodies were found
under the bed occupied by their par
ents, where it is supposed they crawl
ed when they were awakened by the
smoke and flames.
They were the only children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins, who have the
sympathy of many friends in their
deep bereavement.
