Railroad Wreck in Rock Hill.
Exciting times in Rock Hill railroad
circles yesterday followed a collision
between a southbound freight and a
local work train near Carhartt station,
four miles north Of Rock Hill, when
the engine and caboose Of the work
train ran away and dashed through
Rock Hill at speed of 40 miles an
hour. a shifting crew in the Rock Hill
yards took after the runaway and cap
tured it, the iron monster, q Couple Of
miles south Of the city. Engineer
Marvin Crouch, Columbia, on the
freight, No. SO, jumped and broke n
toe and suffered a cut on the face.
Fireman Miller was bruised on the hip.
The engine turned over and mass of
nngy 90 he
blocked traffic for a number of hours.
The work train, Engineer MacFennell
at the throttle, was going north after
dirt, the fats bong ahead Of the en-
gine. The trains had seen each other
approaching and were slowing up The
crew Of the work train jumped at the
collision and the engine, was knocked
loose from the fats and it started back
to town, gathering speed at every turn
Of the drivers. The crew tried to over
take it, but failed. Luckily the main
line was open and the several grade
crossings happened to be clear. 1t had
a down grade route after leaving Rock
Hill and was steadily gaining momen-
tum when the Shifter overlook it and
backed close enough to it TO allow q
member Of the crew to jump to the
runaway and close the throttle.
Deputy Sheriff Terrell Arrested.
GastOnia Gazette, Aug. 16: A party
Of five, consisting of Charles Glover,
Frank Sarvis, Mr.. Nichols, Mr.. Swag-
garty and Deputy Sheriff Robert Ter
rell were arrested Tuesday night by
Federal Prohibition Agent l.. l.. Hou-
ser, u. A. Hoyle and j. A. Wesson,
deputy sheriffs of Cleveland county, on
charges Of transporting intoxicating
liquor to the amount of four and one
half gallons" The arrest was made
near Casar in Cleveland county, near
South Mountain. The two men, Mich
OILS and Swaggarty were stock COM
pany performers from Atlanta and
were laying off in Gastonia. On testi-
mOny Of the other members Of the
party they were freed. 1t seems that
the party in a Buick automobile be-
towards home Officer Terrell stated
that they wanted to quench their thirst
and took trip TO the South Mountain
region for the purpose Of obtaining the
product Terrell stayed in the car
while the others went after the liquor
Four and half gallons were brought
back to the ca and the men started
towards home. Officer Terrill stated
this morning That it was purchased at
a garage where more than a hundred
gallons of South Mountain dew was
concealed for the purpose of retailing.
When the automobile had gotten un-
der way on it's return trip Officers
IIOuscr, HOylc and Wesson stopped
them and made the arrest. The fact
that Terrell was an officer himself
carried no weight with the United
States prohibition officer. The party
was brought to Gastonia. Warrants
were sworn out before United States

bonds were fixed at $500 for appearance
