Winston-Salem, July 6,—Yes
terday afterhooii about 5 o'clock
on C»A? ^ones^ f«rm, three-miles
south of the city, John Henry
Reich met his death under the
feet of a pair of runaway horses.
Mr. Reich had stopped the wag
on and was closing the bani
doors, when he saw a traction
engine approaching and called to
his assistant to run hold the
horses. The man jumped into
the wagon, but failed to get hoki
of the lines and the team dashed
off. Mr. Reich ran in front of
them and threw up his hands,
but they paid no heed and before
he could jump aside he was knock
ed down, the wagon tongue strik
ing him in the abdomen, and the
wagon passing over his body.
He iived iust a few minutes af
ter the itightful blow, raising
himself upon his knee, and groan
ing, “0, rm hurt!” Then fall
ing on his face, he died without
speaking again.
_ Washington, July 7.—General
Bixby, chief of engineers of the
gives as his ©pinion that
the primary cause for the blow
ing isp, of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor, will never be dis
covered.
* ‘As it was caused by a torpedo
or mine from without the fact
will never 1^ established ^cause
of the condition of the wrecked
ship," asseits.
Army en^ners are raising the
wreck of the maineand Mr. Bix-
by has returned from inspection
of their work. He examined the
tom and twisted hull from which
the water is now being drawn
away. He says that ^1 three of
the forward magazines of the
battleship were exploded and that
these explosions caused the ter
rific dama^ done the ship. He
does not differ with the findings
of the ^inpsoh naval court of in
quiry in November, 1898, which
declared that “In the opinion of
the court, the Maine was destroy
ed by the explosion of a subma
rine mine, which caused the par
tial explosion of two or more of
the forward magazines.”
General Bixby does not think
the bodies of the men who lost
tiiejr lives in the explosion and
which have not been recovered
ever will be found. He thinks
they were hurled from the ship
and buried in the mud. Two
sides of the ship were blown to
pieces,: the decks had been hurled
into the air and the sides forced
outward. These decks were
where the unfortunate men lost
their lives.
