Anniston Star January 9, 1901
Mr. Leslie Barfield, a well-known citizen of Lineville, Clay County, came near 
being the victim of a fatal accident on the bridge crossing snow creek just below 
Oxford yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Mr. Barfield was in charge of a wagon 
drawn by two spirited mules and loaded with a heavy piano and box. The mules 
became frightened when about halfway across the bridge and the wheels of the 
wages were ran upon a large slanting stave, turning the piano out of the wagon 
with Mr. Barfield underneath. The edge of the box containing the piano struck the 
railing of the bridge as it fell breaking the force of the fall of the box. Mr. 
Barfield was considerably injured by the fall, but it is not thought the injuries 
will prove to be serious.
