Hagerstown, Md., Mar 14 [1926]

A freight train on the Western Maryland figured in three accidents near here late last night and early today in which two men were killed and another seriously injured.

Joseph Mullen, 38, of Harrisburg, Pa., a Philadelphia and Reading railroad flagman, was instantly killed last night when a yard engine side-swiped a tender on which he was standing. Mullen was crushed.

Dorsey A. Swink, 52, of Hagerstown, a conductor on the Western Maryland, was killed when he lost his footing and fell under the wheels as he was about to board the train after the first accident. He had been called to take the place of Conductor T. W. Wilhide of Hagerstown, whose leg was crushed by a bar in removing the debris of the accident in which Mullen was killed.
