The CAUSE of the railroad accident, is
going to be pretty thoroughly discussed.
II is a verv important one. Both Sal IN
papers declare that there Is nothing In the
story that the rail had been removed. Tne
Statesman says,rather cmpha,ically: The
story OF the rail being removed 10 cause
the wreck is very thin one. II will not
scour. Whatever clused the first break IN
the timbers Of the irestlc and resulted In
the fearful disaster, Il WAS Certainly no
the removal OF the rail. The writer ex-
amined the rail and ties and imbedIcJ
spikes very closcly.and the facts do not at
of things that may have started thc break,
but alleged removing OF ,he raj. is not ono
of them"

has settled several small claims for dam
ages. Larger claims are beginning 10 be
presented. One man who lost a foot

claims will be contested. Salem people
generally are antagonistic to the railroad,
caused, somewhat, by the road refusing
20 run a local train during fair week.
Yet the papers claim that after unpreju-
diced investigation, the theory presented
that the train was maliciousiy wrecked
is not justified by the facts.
