AND The Wagon and Boiler Top- pied Over on Them on Rocky Road WEIR LIVED IS OR 20 MINUTES Whitcluw Was Killed Instantly They Were Walking Beside the Wagon and Hud Just Prised Front Wheel Over Stone, ';. When Hear Wheel Struck and Cuff on Axl Broke. ' ' .- ' .' . ' W. J. Weir and John Whitelaw were killed about noon today near the Rock Quarry, just east of the city, close to the d, . home of Mr. A. II. Green. The two men, both of whom were over sixty years of age, wore inter ested in the Wake Granite Company, . which is developing the rock quarry, and were overseeing the carrying of a large boiler to the quarry. They were walking beside the holler wagon down the steep incline from Green's house to the quarry. The road there is very rocky and full of loose stones and others pro jecting more or less out of the road. Ouo of the 'front wheels of the wagon caught on one of these stones, and Messrs. Weir and Whitelaw had di rected the work, prising it over safely. The next instant the back wheel struck the rock and careened tho wagon over so far, that the big iron cuff on the axle broke, ' and the wagonbody and boiler all toppled over together on tho loft side, catch ing both Weir and Whitelaw beneath il, one on each side of the boiler's smokestack. Mr. "Whitelaw was struck on the side of the head and killed Instantly. Mr. Weir was pinned down by a large collar on the boiler, which crushed his chest and side. As soon as tho boiler could be jacked up, he v.as carried into the Green house .Kid Dr. James R. Rogers arrived in a few minutes, but Mr. Weir lived only fifteen or twenty minutes. How It Happened. There was quite a party of labor- icrs and others with tho wagon at the time of the accident. A young white man by the name of Will Solomon was driving. Hp was standing out in front of the boiler on the double-, tree holding in the horses when the wagon went over. W. H. Mangum was in front of the team, the effort being to proceed down the hill as slowly and steadily as possible. Joe Bert and Alf Perry, two negro labor ers, were on the right side of the wagon and did the work of prising the wheels over the bouldor. .Mr. Weir and Mr. Whitelaw wore both on the left side and with them was a young white man by the name of John Cotton. They wore doing what they could to steady the load. When the crash came and the great boiler toppled over Mr. Weir and Mr. Whitelaw were caught like rats un der a dead-fall. Cotton says that when he saw the boiler start over ho was close by Mr. Whitelaw and seized him by the shoulder in an effort to get him out of danger, but the fall was all too quick and Cotton barely slipped out with his own life. Heroic Efforts Made.' It required fifteen or twenty min utes of the most heroic effort to re lease the two men from their terri ble position under tho boiler. It was necessary to jack it up several inches and to do considerable digging. , Mr. Whitelaw was already dead when takon out and Mr. Weir never spoke or gave any sign of conscious ness. Tho remains of Mr. Weir were car ried to his residence 515 North Blood worth street, and the remains of Mr. Whitelaw to his residence on South Blount street. The funeral ar rangements will be announced later. Mr.'Weir was 71 years of age, and had been identified with the business interests of Raleigh for a great nam ber of years. As a contractor and builder he had directed the construe (Continued on Page Seven.)
