LABORER KILLED BY FALLING DERRICK
[Details of the accident itself omitted.]
    That part of the east end yard where the accident occurred presents a busy scene.  In addition to the tracks already there, fourteen more are to be put in on the south side and nine on the north side.
    L. H. Vaughan & Co. are the contractors and N. L. Lancaster [?? blurred] the walking boss.  The work is progressing rapidly.  The force consists of 150 laborers and these men, with the assistance of a steam shovel and two steam drills, keep a train crew with twenty-five cars busy moving away the debris.

[Quite a sizable addition to Bluefield's East End Yard.]
