Sad Accident on the Western {North Carolina} R. R.
A land slide on the Western Extension, six miles from here, caused a sad accident last Thursday morning, by which James Briggs (a member of Capt. J. A. Wood's company, of the 4th Reg't N. C. T.) lost his life. He was standing on the platform when the train struck the slide, and was caught between the cars. Both his legs were broken, and he was otherwise badly injured. He died in a bout one hour after the accident. This, we believe, is the first accident, resulting in loss of life on this Road.
Salisbury Watchman, 24th
