Wreck of the Accommodation Car at Sparland
A freight collision near Sparland disrupted the Henry line when a fast freight struck the rear of the Henry to Sparland accommodation. Miss Mary Slaven and Miss Jennie Hartley were severely scalded, traveling salesman W. Le Barber escaped with bruises, and all were cared for at local homes and Dr. McClanahan’s. The incident drew sharp criticism of the railway crew and prompts near-term safety concerns.
