TWO MEET DEATH
IN COLUMBUS W3ECK-
Columbus, Ci,a., October 10.—
Two women wore killed antin'
third injured in a* collision bo- '
tween a Coiumbus trolley car and ;
a Central of Georgia switch on- i
gino, just above this city shortly
alter 2 o’clock.
The dead : Mrs. \V. 0 Munro
ami Mrs. Strickland.
The injured woman, who sus
tained a broken ankle and other
injuries, is now in the hospital,
and physicians have not learned
her name.
The accident occured in the |
railroad yards of the Central ofj
Georgia from Columbus to Atlan
ta and where the trolley lmn
crosses the railroad track.
The trolley car, not seeing the
backing switch engine, had start
ed across the track, when the
crash came.
The ecape of the other passen-,
gers was miraculous. The crew' of I
the switch engine was not in jured, j
The switch engine crew and the]
motorrnaii and conductor on the j
ear that was demolished, were ur-!
rested late this afternoon and |
carried to police headquarters,
where they will be held pending
investigation as to who was to
hlanie for the accident.
The motorman is YV. L. Bent-1
Jey, while the conductor was J. C.
Chandler. \\ f . J. Proctor was the ]
engineer m charge of the engine]
and Sam Hodges was foreman in
charge.
Engineer Proctor made a state
ment, the facts of which are sub
stantially as follows;
The engine was going forward,
which threw him on the opposite
side from which the street car was
coming. Just before he reached
the crossing, he receiv'd a go-
Sln-ad signal and as lie could n<<t
see anything ahead to prevent
him, he put on steam and start'd
nii'-ad. The next thing he knew
the front he was pushing crashed
into a street oar.
There were six of seven people
on the car, but only three were
hurt.

ViDALIA FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Vidalla volunteer fire de
partment is an organization that
1 1 lie people of the city take an cs-j
, peciiil pride in; and justly so, for
1 they have ever been prompt in re- 1
j spending to the fire alarm and
| their work has saved much valu
able property from destruction
by fire. Under the direction of
Chief. L. L. Avret a splendid or
ganization has been perfected,!
and each member knows just what)
duty he is expected to perform in
case of fire. The members all take
an interest in the department as
their prompt and eifeient work
i when called upon testifies,
j Since the department has been
] organized there have been quite a
I number of fires in the city that j
would have undoubtedly assumed
serious proportions had it not |
been for the promt and effectual
work of the mem bars. As it is, ]
the property loss by fire in Vidal
ia during the past year has been ;
very slight,. Our town has as
good tire protection as many of
the smaller cities that, have reg- ;
|iilar lire departments. —Toombs)
