Railway Station at North

Much Freight'
ISfHt.1 to TIM Men uul MMfr- I
Winston-Salem, Jan. 1. The pas-
aenger and freight station of th
Southern Hallway at North Wilkes
boro- was destroyed by fire early this
morning, entailing a loss estimated
at fifty thousand dollars or more, the
same being only partially coversd by
Insurant'.
The fire was discovered about 1:41
a. m. and In about an hour the large
wooden structure had been burned
to the ground.
' Besides the building, a largo quanti
ty of freight, both incoming and out'
going, collected during the 'holiday
and a number of trunks, were burned.
Several barrels nf oil were about the
only thin ga of any value saved from
destruction,

George Wicker, negro brakeman on
a freight train. Was asleep in a ca

Getting up and going out on tha

loaded freight cars standing on the
track at the station, would he de

a passenger engine which was stand
ing a few hundred yards away on
unother track. After uncoupling the
engine from the passen per coaches,
he took charge of the throttle and
trail the "engine to the -depot which
at that time was wrapped In flames.
The engine was attached to the
freight cars and In a few minutes
were pulled to a place of ca'ety. The
colored man is being highly com

thoughtfulness.
Just how the fire originated is not

such as to promise that the growth of
