The engineer and fireman who dis
covered the Walden trestle on fire,
do not want to repeat their expert
ence. They were busy eating their
breakfast when they reached this
point, and were almost upon the
trestle before they discovered the
fire. The engineer whistled for
brakes, but it was too late to stop
the train, and as the locomotive
went over the burning trestle the en-
gineer felt the rail bend under him
and the engine sway to one side, and
he thought he was booked for the
bottom of the gulf which at this
point is ninty-six feet below the
rails. But the entire tram went over
in salty before it was stopped. The
engineer then drew the pin and went
to the Bend in a hurry, as he knew
the east-bound train was due there
in a few minutes. AS he went
screaming down the grade he met q
hand-car with section-men. The
men had time to jump but had nc
time to remove the car, which was
tossed off as an elephant would brush
off a fly. Arriving at the Bend, the
engineer found the other train al.
ready there, and with a few mer
taken upon the locomotive the fire
was soon reached and extinguished
