scALDED AND NAMED.

INTO an open switch at the Oldtown yards
near Rock Springs yesterday morning at
2:l5.
Engineer Fenly was badly shaken up.
Harvey Rhemeyer. the fremen, vas
frightfully scalded. Flesh peeled from
his head, face, left hand and arm and
ankles. The lad may recover, but only
the exercise of an indominatible will
enable the best surgeons to restore him to
health. His sufferings were terrible and
the fact that he did not lose conscience
ness was distressingly appreciable. He
bore up bravely and offered words of en-
couragement to his mourning friends.
L. p. BY, the head brakeman, was an
other sufferer. His leg was fractured in
at least three places. A brave spirit
lodged in his sturdy frame and he COM
manded the rescuers to leave him and
alleviate if possible the terrible agony Of
his scalded friend.
"a carload of A. G.. Beckwith horses
Pcoming to the fair were attached to the
ktrain, but were not injured in the least.
SNOW SHED BURNED.
Simpson snow shed. a few miles east of
Rawlins, was totally destroyed by fire yes.
terdaY morning. The west bound pas
senger train which left this city al
2:15 was within a short distance of the
blazing structure when the flames were
noticed by the crew. Superintendent
Barr was aboard and assumed charge. A
temporary track was constructed. but the
delay was about eight hours. The shed
was one of the largest on the system, be-
ing l, l29 feet in length. The origin of
the fire has not yet been reported, but it
was doubtless started by sparks from a
passing engine.
The alertness of the passenger crew
alone avoided a severe accident. By
great effort the train was halted within
only a few yards of the burning shed
II XTR SHOPS.
r. L. Huntley, engineer in charge of
shop construction at this place returned
from Omaha yesterday morning and at
once left for Denver. Mr.. Huntley says
that it is the intention 10 open bids on
the extra shop work for Cheyenne at
Omaha to morrow. 1t is more than prob
able that the work will be awarded to F.
NJ. Sharp. As announced by this paper
only Sunday morning the additional
buildings are an immense brick and stone
car repair shop 200x70 feet, a fifty chute
| o,o1 bnasa oacl t~ortlo - -
sand house aud several smaller structures.
There is the highest authority for the
statement that construction of these build
ings will proceed at once. The Union
Pacific has Just come into possession of a
considerable sum of money and will build
smaller shops at several points. This is
imperative. Sending work to Chicago is
profitless
DALE f BRIDGE.
The suspension bridge which spans
Dale creek canyon near the summit be-
tween this place and Laramie is to be
repaired Immediately at an outlay of sl4,-
600. 1t will be strengthened by the
application of an improved system of
modern engineering. OF course all of the
men employed il this work will make
Cheyenne their headquarters
OFFICIAL CHANGES
Look out about this time for official
changes. 1T is rumored" that Mr.. Barr
will be given the superintendency of the
Nebraska division with headquarters al
Omaha; that Trainmaster Green will b.
promoted to a superintendency; tina
R~essiguie of the Nebraska division will b.
transferred to the Idaho division or t
Chez cnne on account of his health. 1t i
sincerely hoped that this is not all true
Cheyenne wants Mr.. Barr to stay here.
He is the best superintendent the Wyo
ming division ever had. Trainmastel
Green deserves promotion will probably
get it. Ressiguie; he's all right. Messrs
Barr and Green are both out west.
