Rumors were rife concerning the number of injured, and one re port was circulated that several per sons had been killed. Later investi gation, however, disproved the alarm ot any one being killed. Following on the heels of the wreck at Isadora, Sunday morning, the general opin ion was that perhaps pro-Germans are back of both accidents, and that the broken wheel, alleged to have caused the wreck at Rice Hill was a part of a plan to cripple the road and stop movement of troops. -j- Front - Information gathered , at railroad headquarters in this citr to day It appears that a heavy freight was moving northward between Ire land -and-Wolf Oreek.-south-of- O-Ion- dale, and when near the Biding known as Holland, three engines and an ecus! number of cars were derailed.
