oae more to its long list of re
cent disastrous wrecks, when
through freight No. 74, going
east, was derailed about a quar
ter of a mile east of the Besse
mer City station Wednesday

result of the wreck four men were
killed, two were Injured, and
one engine and tSn box cars were
demolished. The tender of an
other engine was damaged.
The dead are Engineer Thom
a*J. Pettus, of Greenville. S. C.;
two negro firemen, J. B. Higgins
of Blacksburg and John Thomp
son of Spencer; and a hobo,
Marion McCombs, a yonng white
man who lived at the Loray here.
The injured are Engineer C. E.
Tate and Brikeman P. S. Pbafi,
neither of whom was seriously
hurt.
The wreck was caused by the
removal of a rail preparatory to
putting in a new one on the
main line. The section boos,
who was supervising the work,
sent a negro flagman ont with in
structions to flag all trains ex
cept passenger train No. 36
which was reported two hours
and a half late. No. 74 was a
double header, both engines be
ing passenger engines, and the
flagman claimed that he thought
it war No. 36 aod let it pass with
out flaging. The train was run
ning at a speed of about 30 miles
an hour whtu the accident oc
curred.
locirooi engine, wnicu was
in charge of Engineer Pettns,
did not leave the track bat bad
ita tender turned on one aide.
The second engine, in charge of
Engineer C. E. Tate, who was
only slightly injured, left the
track ana was turned on ita side.
Ten loaded box cars were piled
iu a heap on the track. When
the crash came Engineer Pettns
I'umped and was probably struck
>y the tender of the second en
gine. The blow ^broke hia neck
but bis body bore no other sigos
of injury. Both firemen were
pinned under the tenders of their
respective engines and their
bodies badly mangled.
McCombs was riding on the
hampers a boat five cars back
and was crushed under a car.
His partner, who gave bis name
as I. L. Ray of Gaffney, and who
was riding on tbe next' car to
wards the rear, escaped unin
jured. McCombs, it will be re
membered. ran away with a girl
from the Loray about two weeks
ajp, taking her to Charlotte.
They were caught the uext day
by the girl’s brother-in-law and
returned to Gastonia.
