Accident on the c. u c.

On Sunday morning the north bound
train, after making about mile and Il
half this side of the Summit, met with
an accident which, by great good luck,
was not as disastrous ~ similar acct
dents usually arc. The train was
moving pretty rapidly when stock
car jumped thu track overturnng, AMI
causing the overthrow of the engine
and the remainder OF the train. As
the track was in good condition at the
point where the accident occurred il
is supposed that the sheep, with which
The car was loaded, were thrown over
to the outside of the curve, over which
the train was passing, and thus caused
the capsize. Nat Dow, u brakeman,
who was on the top of one of the cars,
jumped and landed on some rocks.
He was very badly bruised. but es
capped without serious or dangerous
injury Two Indians, on the same
car, also jumped, hut were cangh,
between the car and the side hill and
crushed to death.
