<DIV align=center><STRONG>Flareback Causes Fireman to Jump From Engine
Fracturing Skull</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> Yesterday afternoon a peculiar but serious
accident occurred at Honaker tunnel which will no doubt result in the death of
Firemen G. G. Etter.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> He was fireman on an engine pulling Clinch
extra west with Lee Hutchinson as engineer. Just as the train was entering
the tunnel, and while Etter had the fire box open, there was a flare back and a
sheet of flame flashed in the young man's face severely burning him. In as
effort to avoid the flames or by reason of the pain the burns caused he either
fell or jumped from the engine, and sustained a fracture of the skull and other
serious bruises and curs.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> He was brought to this city on No. 6 and
taken to the Bluefield Sanatorium.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> He is no doubt fatally injured and may
succumb in a few hours.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> Etter had been on the road about two
years. His home is in the western section of the city near Graham.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left>[<EM>I wonder if the engineer abruptly shut off steam as the
engine entered the tunnel, killing the draft through the firebox, at the same
time that the motion of the engine entering the tunnel compressed the air in the
tunnel, causing a high pressure in the exhaust stack, which forced air back into
the firebox.</EM>]</DIV>

<DIV align=center><FONT size=4>CHAS. HARMAN KILLED IN PECULIAR
MANNER</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center>------</DIV>
<DIV align=center> <STRONG>Thrown From Horse to Railway Track
and Train Passed Without Touching Him</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Charles Harman was killed yesterday in a
peculiar manner. He was riding along the railroad tracks between War and
Rift and his horse got one of its feet wedged in between two cross ties.
The horse began rearing and plunging to extricate itself and Harman tumbled from
his back striking his head against a rail and rolled to the center of the track
where he lay in an unconscious condition. A passenger train passed
entirely over the spot where he was lying before it could be stopped. When
the train crew and passengers ran back to where Harman was lying it was found
that he train had not touched him. He died, however, in an hour from the
injury received by falling against the rail.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> Harman is from Tazewell
county and leaves a wife and one child. He was twenty-five years of
age.</DIV>
<DIV align=center>------</DIV>
<DIV align=left>[<EM>This is another accident that apparently happened because
the railroad right-of-way provided the best path in a territory where there were
few roads.</EM>]</DIV>
