LIKE TWO FURIES
! ENGINEER AND LIQUORt RAZ
ED FIREMEN FIGHT.
THE NEGRO WAS KILLED
Pistols and Knives, While the
Engine wa« Flying.
Birmingham, Ala , Nov. 20. —
In a frieght tiain dashing South
ward over the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad at the rate of thirty
miles an hour late last "night, one
of the most thriling encounters
ever recorded in fact, or fiction
occurred.
Tow men, one black , and craz
ed by drink, the other white and
conscious of deadly peril, engaged
in a life and death struggle in the
cab ofja flying locomotive which
ended in the death of the negro
and the miraculous escape from
the same fate by the white man.
When train No. 25, Southbound,
lefthere last night at 10:15 o’clock
Engineer E. P. Bithop and Fire
man Wylie Craig, colored, occupi
ed the locomotive cab. About 20
minutes later a few miles below
the city 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 two miles from the city,
Bishop told tfae fireman to stir up
the fire. The negro paid no atten
tion to the order, and it was re
peated. Tuis time be uttered an
oath, and springing from his seat,
drew a revolver and suddenly and
without warning fired a shot point
I blank at the engineer.
The bul'et missed the engii eer,
who struck the revolver from the
negro’e hand just as the latter
was about to fire a second shot.
Craig, now craz-d with rage, in
stantly drew an ugly knife, and
grasping the engineer by the shoul
der, pulled him from the box and
began to cut him across the breast
Bishop had a pistol in his hip
pocket but he was held for a time
in such a position that he could
not reach it. Finally after a des
perate struggle during which the
two men rolled over and over on
the floor of the cab. Bishop man
aged to draw his pistol and fire.
The bullet struck the negro in
the breast and penetrated his
heart. Without a groan he fell back
in to the darkness to the ground
and Bishop was left alone in hie
cab.
The train at that time was near
Oxineer. There it was halted by
the wounded engineer, who told
the crew of bis thrilling encounter.
Bishop says that his watch chain
alone saved him from a fatal blow
iat the hands of the negro who
wielded his knife with the savgery
of a demon.
Bishop was given a preliminary
hearing before Justice Martin and
was discharged.
