train .Wilt Costner; of Kings Moun
tain, was 'tilled Sunday afternoon
about two miles west of Gastonia
when his automobile wa ■ struck by
she Piedmont Limited, one of the
Southern Railway's fast trains.
The bodies of both Costner and bis
son wore fa-ken to a Gastonia under
taking establishment.
The aeeident is said to have hap
pened when the automobile driven by
Costner st illed on the tracks in front
of the train. Seven pasentiers includ
ing' the wife, daughter and mother'-in
law of ihe.dmd man, are said to-have
hewn in the automobile at the time of
the affair.
Six of the seven, including Costner,
hall escaped from th?P automobile
when it wu; noticed that the boy was
still in the machine. His father re
turned to the car in a;frantic effort to
save the child ,but was unable to ex
tricate Ivim from the automobile be
fore tjie train struck it.
He is reported to have stopped his
machine in obedience to the law and
to have stalled his engine after he
reached the tracks and saw the train
bearing down upon him.
Mr. Costner, why was about r.O
years of ape, was employed at the
Margrace mill in Kings Mountain, and
is not thought to have been related
