<DIV align=center><STRONG>Much Coal to be Moved</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> During the past few days the Norfolk and
Western has devoted so much attention to passenger traffic that it was reported
last night that there are about 4000 loads of coal in the field which will be
moved today and Sunday. The miners were kept at work up to a late hour
yesterday before they were paid off. Every company which had the cars
loaded them to capacity and will wait for removal.</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>Killed by Train</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> J. B. Morgan, aged 28 of Elk, was run over
and killed at Iaeger on Friday morning by an extra. The man lay down on
the track and went to sleep and the engineer did not see him until too late to
stop.</DIV>
<DIV align=center>------</DIV>
<DIV align=center><STRONG>No Passengers Injured</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Superintendent W. S. Becker said last night
that he had not received a report on the wreck of the passenger train which
connects with train No. 15 at Portsmouth, but he had learned unofficially that
there were no passengers injured. The engine and tank turned over and
several of the cars left the track, but there was no serious damage done.</DIV>
