ENGINEER WILLIAMS |
SCALDED TO DEATH

And Injuries to Several.
-r

it is said, the engine, two mail
cars and two baggage cars of
fast passenger train No. 6, on
the Iron Mountain, which left
Little Rock at 9:25 o’clock last
night, was wrecked through the
removal of a rail at Rixey, sev-1
en miles east of Little Rock, and |
Engineer P. H. Williams of 510
Rose Street, Pulaski Heights,
being killed and Fireman R. H.
Lindsey and two mail clerks, !
inj ured.
Engineer Williams had been j
running an engine on the Iron |
Mountain since 1889 and was |
one of the oldest men in point of j
service on the road. He had J
been on this run for a number J
of years it is said.
No. 4 in two sections was the
irst train from the South to ,
reach Newport after the wreck,
the first composed of mail
rars arriving about 12 o’clock, |
the second or passenger section j
about 12:30 and No. 24 about 3
a’clock. Trainmen state that'
Engineer Williams was scalded
to death beneath his engine and
that the other injuries were not
serious.*
The passenger cars did not
leave the track and Conductor
Ross was not hurt.
The train was not robbed as
reported here, but the removal
af a rail which had been laid out
a distance from the track,
might have been the work of
men who had planned a robbery |
af the wrecked train, which is !
supposed to carry considerable j
money.
