Dastardly Attempt of an Unknown
Scoundrel Succeeds, Though It Is
Strange to Say, None Was Very
Seriously Injured in Smashup
(Special to the News.)
"Westminster, S. C, Aug. 25. At 3:20 o'clock this morning passenger train
Xo. o", the Washington and Atlanta fast mail on the Southern railway, ran
into an open switch at-Harbins, a station six miles south of here, and was
wrecked." " - - " -
The engine, tender, postal car, two baggage cars and the second class pas
senger coach jumped the track and overturned. The first class coaches did
not leave the rails. Engineer Busha and his colored fireman, Williams,
jumped in time to save their lives. Chief postal clerk Lowenthal and clerks W.
A Dasnall. J. W. Gray, J. R. Anglin and E. E. Smith were painfully injured.
Lowenthal's injuries are serious. Twelve or fifteen passengers were badly
shaken up and many received painful cuts and bruises but none were serious
ly injured.
The cause of the wreck was an open switch, the work of some unknown
misneant. The lock of the switch, at a point some distance from Harbins, in
the woods and far removed from any habitation, was broken and the switch
'banged. That there was not frightful loss of life is due to the presence of
mind cf the engineer, who reversed his engine and applied the brakes before
jumping.

Two Well Known Men Have
a Dispute Over a Box of
Sardines at Bessemer and
One Dies From Wounds
At the store house of Mike Akers,
two miles from Bessemer yesterday
morning, D. Lingerfelt was killed 'in
stantly by a biow on the head stricken
by Mike Akers.
The tragedy was the result of a
"runken row that the two men en
gaged in. Lingerfelt went to Akers
st0l'e yesterday morning about 4
Ell
i
CUDAHY TO BE
IAGER AT FAT
o'clock. He knocked at the door and
asked to be admitted. After a time
Akers did open the door. The two com
menced drinking together and an hour
or so later, a dispute arose over the
price of a box of sardines that Linger
felt claimed he had purchased of
Akers and for wThich he had paid him
the price asked. Akers claimed that
Lingerfelt had not paid and angry
words followed which ' precipitated a
fight.
Lingerfelt knocked Akers down and
jumped on him and wras administering
a severe trashing when, by some
means, Akers got up and picked up a
large stick and dealt the blow that re
sulted in Lingerfelt's death.
Yesterday afternoon Akers was ar
rested by a constable and was taken to
Dallas where he was placed in the
county jail.
Akers claims that he acted solely in
self defense. He says that Lingerfelt
was the cause of the trouble; that he
came to his store, and aroused him
from sleep and asked to be admitted.
After he had sold him a box of sar
dines, he refused to pay for them and
curs-ed and abused him shamefully.
The dead man lived near Bessemer
and it is said that his only fault was
that he would get drunk, occasionally.
While in this condition, he was, gen
erally insulting and abusive. He was a
hard worker and was generally liked
by all-in the community.
