A Race for Life.

tucson Ia III Dhlly JOURNAL.
At Pantano Wednesday afternoon the
brakes Of fat car loaded with ties became
loOseaed in some iHezpeabe manner and
the car began to move down the steep grade
towards Cienega. A bystander jumped
aboard and endeavored to tighten thebr axes
He, however, found them unmsD-
sgeable Another tried and failed. A
regular brakeman then boarded the
car and quickly discovered that
the brakes were out of order. The car by
that time had increased its speed tc fully
twenty miles sn hour, and to remain upon it
would BIZ almost sure death when the first
washout was reached. He therefore called
10 the other two men on the car TO jump,
and this they did. Engineer Frank Shaw
at this, time was sitting on his engine at
Pantsno, and attached to his locomotive was
q car filed with Cinnamon. Ho at once
realized the terrible result ii this runaway
fat car was allowed to proceed unchect d on
Its way, for score or more { lrJoteis we're
engaged far down u.,p kulch in the
Olenega pass Strengthening Tao Draces Of
broken bridge that spsnned it. They would
not be able TO hear the approaching car,
and II would soon crash through the
weakened timbors and probably crush many
beneath its Weight.
As these thoughts gsshed through his
mind be pulled wide open the throttle valve,
and started In full pur.ut Of the fast reoeed-
log car. 1t was race for life, and Shaw was
soon laundering down the track at sixty
miles an hour, With the car iosd of terrified
Cinnamon behind him. The fiat car ahead
was Increasing at every step. TIE locomo'
tive, however, kept gaining, and finally Shaw
placing the lever III charge of hia fireman,
ctswlcd to the cowcatcher, and, taking the
heavy coupling rod in his hand, stood 10 that
perou, position until tho car use reached.
The cha, m where the men were working came
10 sight and still the fugitive car was 200
yMds away. He called 10 bis fireman to
open wider tho valve, and the lsboIing on.
gne made uroh which showed she hsd felt
the Increased volume Of steam, They sped
on with hgn.uiog rapidly. Tho space be-
tween them gradually lessened. Shaw stood
