ate Struggle—Former Killed.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 20.—0 n a
freight train dashing southward over
the Louisville and Nashvillle railroad at
the rate of 80 miles an hour one of the
most thrilling encounters ever recorded
occurred.
Two men, one black and by
drink, the other white and conscious of
deadly peril, engaged in a life and death
struggle in the cab of a flying locomo
tive, which ended in the death of the
negro and the miraculous escape from
the same fate by the white man.
When train No. 25, sonthbound, left
here Engineer JE. P. Bishop aud Fire
man Wiley Craig, a negro, occupied the
locomotive oab. About 20 minutes later
the negro was lying dead beside the
track, and the engineer, bleeding from
a dozen knife wounds, was alone in his
cab.
Soon after the train’s departure, and
when 2 miles from the city. Bishop told
the fireman to stir up the fire. The ne
gro paid no attention to the order, and
it was repeated. This time he uttered
an oath, aud springing from his seat
drew a revolver aud suddenly aud with
out warning fired a shot point blank at
the engineer. The bullet, uijjised the
engineer, who atrhek the TeVOhfer from
the negro’s hand.just as the latter was
about to fire a second shot. Craig drew
an ugly knife, and grasping the en
gineer by the shoulder, pulled him from
the box and began to out him across the
breast.
Finally, after a desperate struggle,
during which the two men rolled over
and over on the floor of the cab, Bishop
managed to draw his pistol and fire.
The bullet struck the negro iu the breast
and penetrated bis heart. Without a
groan he fell back into the darkness to
the ground and Bishop was left alone
in his cab.
The train at that time was near Ox
moor. There it was halted by the
wounded engineer, who told the crew
•f his thrilling encounter.
Bishop was given a preliminary hear
ing and disen urged.
