the worst they have ever experienced.
From McCook comes the intelligence Of
the!birth of son 10 Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Har-
man. Frank has so far recovered from the
event as to be able to resume his regular ex.
press run this week. :. Nearly every train
that leaves the Oxford yards now has from
one to half dozen tramps on board. This
is also said to be the case at many other towns
along the road. Quite crowd boarded No
If at Republican City the other day and the
conductor and assistants found it necessar,
to stop the train and engage in a genuine
tussle before the cars could be cleared o.
them. The same thing was repeated the
next evening at Orleans, where Conductor
Smiley encountered such tough outfit thai
he was forced to draw gun for self-protec
tion.-Oxford Standard.
The carelessness of the section foreman a
Roggen, Colorado, in leaving a swith open
| caused passenger train No. e to go into tn,
ditch, Tuesday noon, causing a bad wreck
| although no lives were lost and no one wa
seriously hurt. A car of cinders stood on tn,
side-track. The engine knocked it into tn,
ditch, following it there, together with th
| baggage, mail, combination and one chai
car. The locomotive (No. 3I6 with Enginee
Bonestead at the throttle) was sadly demon
| allied, the cab being almost stripped from ii
and the four cars were considerably damaged
Cars were taken up from here on No. AM
the unfortunate train was brought here a
s o'clock, about four hours late. Among tn
slightly injured was colored couple from
| Denver -cousins-who were bound for Ben
kelman to get married. They got off at Ben
kelman, and are doubtless happily wedde,
| by this time. lady bound for Chicago, hav
i ing baby about IS months old, was some
what shaken up and was badly unsettled il
mind. No one accompanied her. An un
successful attempt was made to have her re
main here while and rest, but she insiste
upon going on through to Chicago. Her de
ranged mental state was noticed shortly afte
the departure from Denver, and the acciden
intensified matters. The section foreman nc
ticed that the switch was open as the trail
approached, but was unable to close it in tim
to avert the accident. He and his gang a
once boarded their hand car and pulled ou
for Denver. That no one was killed is almos
miraculous, as the train was moving at a hig
| speed. Conductor Bonnot was in charge O
the train.
