Railroad Accident
   The down freight train on the Southwestern Railroad ran off the track in going down a grade this side of Montezuma last Monday afternoon, upsetting the Engine and killing the Engineer, Robert Large, the Fireman, Monroe Sheffield and a negro boy, wood passer on the train, belonging to H. B. Troutman. We have been unable to learn the cause of the accident, but understand the iron is worn nearly flat on that portion of the road, and attribute it to that cause.
