Ten Killed in Wreck Near Columbus Georgia
Ten persons are known dead and twelve injured after a head on collision on the Central of Georgia railroad eight miles from Columbus. A passenger train from Birmingham to Macon struck a special carrying the Kennedy Carnival company from Atlanta to Columbus. Fire followed, and proprietor Fred Kempt and his wife perished. Kempt reportedly begged trainmen to kill him to avoid burning. The Kennedy show had just completed eight weeks in Atlanta and was to open in Columbus. Engineers on both trains escaped. The Columbus bound carnival special apparently was on the main line despite orders to take a siding.
