lantly offered his services as escort and

Topeka Commonwealth: Our readers
win remember that in Tuesdays Com-
monwealsh appeared mention of an
accident on the Santa Fe road near Der
by, which is on the Caldwell branch, ten
miles from Wichita. in which the engine
ran into push car and was wrecked and
the engineer killed. The track had been
clear short time before the accident,
and it was evident that some one had
placed the push car on the track, and two
detectives were sent to make an investi-
CATION Of the afair. They returned to
the city yesterday, having accomplished
their errand with haste and certainty,
and our reporter obtained the following
information from them:
Last Sunday morning three boys, aged
ten, twelve and thirteen years respect
lively, two of whom live at Derby and
one about mile from there, met on the
road where some brakenen had been
making repairs. and the oldest enc pro-
posed that they push the car onto the
rails and take a ride down the grade.
He said there were no trains running on
Sunday and there would be no danger,
so they all agreed, and by using couple
of planks, succeeded In carrying out
their scheme. When they had reached
the scene of the accident they heard a
train approaching, and at once tried to
remove the car, but were unable to do
SO, and finally abandoning it, ran into
the cornfield. The train came along
ana was ditched, the engineer and fire.
man being severely hurt. The engineer
died the next day, and it was believed
Wednesday night that the fireman could
not live.
The boys, who were arrested at theiI
homes, confessed the whole story and
were taken to Wichita and locked up
These facts were made known to Gen
eral Manager Wheeler yesterday, by the
detectives, together with the statement
that they did not believe it more than 6
boyish mistake, and Mr.. Wheeler ther
ordered that the boys be not prosecuted
They will be released at once.
This leinency on the part of the com
pany is a very lucky chance for the boys
and the affair will probably be lessor
to them. It should be warning to al
other boys who think they know how tC
run push or hand car on a roilroaC
track.
