Spencer, Aug. 8—Master Mechanic B. McBride of the Southern shops at Spencer suffered a broken rib while at work Monday and is slightly incapacitated for active duty at present. He was accidentally struck in the side by a wrench which slipped and fractured a small rib which has been medical attention. Mr. McBride is working 12 hours a day just now in an effort to keep trains moving on time and says that the mystery of how trains are keeping the schedules will be solved if a few of the mystified will go to the shops and see how engines are gotten out. It has been a common expression among strikers that “I don’t see how in the world trains are kept moving.”
Mr. Robert H. Kluttz, a well known foreman for the Southern at Spencer, who lost a leg in an operation a few days ago as a result of an injury when a boy playing ball, has returned to his home here greatly improved. His condition, which has been considered serious for weeks, is now decidedly hopeful although Mr. Kluttz will be a cripple.
Engineer J.H. Harrison and family have gone to Black Mountain to spend a few days.
