Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27
Lincoln City

approaching the station the rear
coach was thrown from the track
by a broken rail and tOppled over
on its side, tearing up the track
for 100 feet. Owing to the quick
work of F. H. Warrington of Har-
ringtOn, brakeman on the train
saved the rest of the train from be-
ing wrecked and probably saved the
lives of several passengers. AS he
saw the car leave the track he pull
ed the emergency brake and the
| train came to a halt after it had
dragged the coach for a short dis
tance. A gas tank under the car
exploded and it was necessary to
/ have the aid of the Carlisle Fire
Co., of Milford to eXtinguish the
| blaze.
The home of Samson Clendaniel
was totally destroyed by fire on
Wednesday evening of last week
The fire occurred about IL o'clock
Mr.. Clendaniel and his family were
aroused by the flames and smoke
and as all of the house was burn
ing so rapidly it was necessary for
the family to use ladder to rescue
themselves from the burning build
ing. The fire had gained such head
way they were unable to save any
thing in the house, the family were
left with nothing but their night
clothing. About 1000 baskets of
sweet potatoes were swept by che
fire. The Carlisle Fire Company of
Milford arrived but were unable
to render any valuable service as
the house was a mass of flames |
when discovered, but they remain
ed there until all the other build |
ings were out of danger.
About one hundred relatives and |
friends rendered Mr.. and Mrs. Will |
