WHEN DEATH CAME
■ -
Engineer Archibald On Passenger No.
4 Met Death Bravely In Wreck
North Of Prescott Thursday—
Fireman’s Close Call.
Prescott, Nov. 27.—Train No. 4 on
the Iron Mountain Railroad, north
bound, passing this place this morning
at 9:45, four hours late, was wrecked
one mile north of here, and Engineer
A. R. Archibald of Little Rock was in
stantly killed and several other people
slightly injured.
The wreck was caused by the track
spreading from the incessant rains of
the past week. The engine was turned
completely over into the ditch, some
ten feet deep, and the engineer was
buried beneath it in the ground.
The fireman, George Hays, by some
means, was thrown some thirty feet
into an open field and escaped injury.
The mail car was turned on its side,
and only one of the six messengers
was injured. He refused to give his
name, and is suffering from an injured
hip. The baggage and express car
« was also thrown into the ditch, but no
| one was hurt and the contents of the
s car were not damaged. Three coaches
| were derailed and considerably brok
en tip, but the passengers were only
slightly injured. Several negro wo
men in the front car claim to be
bruised.
The dining car, four sleepers aud a
| rear coach remained on the track.
I f ireman (ieorge nays states mat
when the engineer felt the engine
leave the track he reversed his engine,
applied the air, and as he made ready
'i to jump was caught by a lever and
a pinioned so that he was unable to
5 move. When found, Engineer Archi
;; bald’s hand was on the throttle, and
b he died at his post of duty. Under
f taker P. H. Reubel of Little Rock ar
> rived about 3 o’clock and took charge
jj> of the remains, which were shipped
| to Little Rock tonight.
1 FRISCO TO EXTEND
EROM POCAHONTAS.
Pocahontas, Nov. 27.—It is more
than probable that the Southeastern,
r oetter known as the Erb Railroad,
will extend from Pocahontas to New
port at an early date and that the
proposed road from Hoxie to Little
| Rock will be abandoned for a few
8 years; but it is authoritatively stated
that the Pocahontas-Little Rock line
| will be completed by January 1, 1904.
£ The roundhouses and shops will be
| located at this point, and the road will
| run on this side of the river to Black
| Rook, where it will cross on the Frisco
§ bridge. The bridge across Black river
| at this point, Pocahontas, is too light
I for engines of more than fifty-five
| tons. Superintendent C. M. Hunt
* and a party of Frisco officials were in
! Pocahontas last Sunday, looking over
the grounds.
SHORT LIFE OF BRIDE.
At 4:30 Wednesday afternoon the
beautiful young bride of Curtis Albrc
passed into the great, beyond. While
this news is quite a shock to the manj
y friends of the young woman, her deatl
a has seemed but a matter of time fo:
] the last twenty-four hours. The blow
I to the young husband of butsixweekf
I seems nothing short of cruel. It ii
| one of those mysteries that will al
| ways be a mystery.
SThe sympathy of the whole city ii
extended to Mr. Albro and the be
reaved relatives.—Poplar Bluff Citi

NEGRO SAVED TRAIN. fg|
Cousin of Man Lynched at Wynne ?
Last Week Borrowed Red Dress
and Flagged Cannon Ball.
Augusta, Ark., Nov. 27.—The north
bound cannon ball train that runs from
Little Rock to St. Louis would have
been wrecked at a point between Jelbs
Station and McCrory, nine miles east
of here, Wednesday had it not been
for Zolly Jackson, a negro, kinsman
of Lige Wells, who was lynched by a
mob at Wynne, Ark., last week for
cutting and attempting to kill Con
ductor Campbell. There was a wash
out on the main line and the cannon
ball went over the Bald Knob branch
of the Iron Mountain to Wynne and
from there north via Knoble to St.
Louis two hours ahead of the cannon
ball on regular time. The Memphis &
Bald Knob branch passenger train
broke a rail about a half mile east of
Jelks, and Zolly, who lives near and
was walking down the track to Mc
Crory, made the discoverer and pro
vided himself with a neighbor’s red
dress and flagged the train. The ne
gro seems to be very proud of saving
the train, which was well loaded with
passengers, and the strange part of it
all is that the opportunity fell to him.
Zolly and Alex Wells lived together
all last year, their wives being cous
ins.
Certainly the railroads have no fear
of such heroes as Zolly Jackson doing
them damage now.
