THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT

Thirteenth Year - Number 41

Marlin, Texas, December 11, 1902

( May be Dec 1, 1902)

I & G N WRECK.

-----

FOUR BOX CARS GO INTO A DITCH AT ELOISE.

-----

    The International and Great Northern Railway had troubles of its own Thursday and traffic between Marlin and Lewis June tion was suspended until this morning. (Word after June may have not printed-lsc)

    The trouble was caused by four box cars being piled in a heap on the track at a point near Eloise.  It is not known what caused the wreck but the presumption is that the track spread and caused the cars to leave the track.

    A large force of men were put to work at once clearing away the wreckage and repairing the track and the morning train was able to come through, though several hours late.
