Westville Wavelets:  A most lamentable accident occurred Friday night out on the log road of the George E Wood Lumber Company.  It seems that some of the section hands were on their lever car returning to camp, and the log engine and train was on the way home, not knowing the track was not clear, ran into the lever car in full collision.  The men on the car jumped at once, but the water carrier, a lad of 12 years, did not jump and was knocked off with the car.  He was mortally hurt and died before a doctor could reach him.  He was the son of Mr Hugh McDonald, of Ponce de Leon.  The shocking tragedy cast a gloom on every countenance, and our citizens sympathize deeply with the sorely bereaved father.  The lad's mother died several years ago.
