cotton to change it after the west bound
train got by. The engineer Of the east
bound train, containing about 400 per-
sons, saw the switch open by the light
of his headlight, and only twenty-five
feet ahead. Although under consider
able Roadway, he managed to stop the
train by reversing the engine and put
ting on the air brakes before jumping
off. The engine went into the bank of
the cut, turning on its side, and the
whistle bar striking the bank, she gave
her own death note as she went over.
The engineer laid the fault at the door
of the company for taking the light of.
If he had not noticed the switch the en-
tire train would have been wrecked and
a great loss of life would have followed.
Several residents on the line Of the road
stated that the company had cut down
the wages of its employees to such figures
that it could secure but few competent
men, and as a result it was very poorly
managed.
