Two Slight Derailments
Central and I. & G. N. Both Have
Train accidents.
A Houston
& Texas Central freight train had four cars to go into the ditch south of
Bremond Friday night, according to unofficial reports received here.
The extent
of the damage to the freight trains could not be learned. The north bound
train was several hours late at Bremond and all mail from points south of
Bremond was delayed.
The I. &
G. N. due here at 2:20 Friday afternoon was seven hours late due also to a
slight "derailment" somewhere south of Marlin, the exact location being known
only to the trainmen, the employes (sic) of the road, and the belated
passengers.
The heavy
rains and the consequent moisture of the earth are believed to be factors in the
trouble on both roads.
