pose of serving the city with incandescent

very near meeting with a serious accident
Yesterday afternoon. While enroute be-
tween Mulvane and Udall one of the cars
jumped the track and was dragged along
by the engine for about half mile before
the train came to full stop. All the
train men were kept busy for quite awhile
trying TO place the car back on the track
again, wherein they finally succeeded after
considerable hard work. While the car
was not damaged in any way it damaged
the track to quite an extent blowing it up,
cutting ties and unlooseniDg bolts and
clasps The section force went to work,
however, and repaired the track, or fixing
it so that trains can pass it safely. The
gentleman who gave the information did
not learn why or how it happened but
says it is almost miracle that it did not
cause a wreck
