Last Friday night occurred one of
the luckiest railroad accidents there is
any record Of. The west bound pas
sengertrain was late and was getting
-oxeE1hcI read towards Lordsburg at a
pretty good rate. When at Libson,
the side track between Separ and
Lordsburg, the mail car jumped the
track; the cause of Its leaving the
track is supposed to have been a brok-
en- lshplate that let the rails spread.
The car bumped along on the ties for
awhile and then turned over. The
baggage car followed suit, and the
three passenger cars and one Pullman
followed the baggage car; the rear ear,
a Pullman, went of the track but did
not turn over. Seven cars were of
the track and six of them were or
their sides. None of the cars were
broken up much, two OF them beinl
telescoped as far as the platform only
Most Of the lights went out, and about
twenty different people have testified
they put out the lights in the Pull
man. There were no fires except il
the mail car and this was soon pu
out. Not a single person was killed
and few were hurt. 1t seems almos
a miracle that with a train going int
the ditch in this name that no on
should be hurt, but so it was. AS soOl
