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.
