IN RAILWAY CIRCLES.
THE RECENT COLLISION ON THE
RIO GRANDE WESTERN,
The Sanpete Valley Railroad-Rates
to the Irrigation Congress at
Denver-The Central Pacific In
debtedness.

The following Associated Press dis
patch was received here early last
night:
Grand Junction, Col. Aug. "a curl
Gus head-end collision occurred yester-
day afternoon between Thistle and
Castillo Springs, on the Rio Grande
Western railway, in which Fireman
Pickering, of engine 142, was killed.
Engineer Denny McGraw, of the same
engine, and w. Chudnall, of engine 1873.
were seriously scaIded and brakeman
on the train had a leg broken.
The collision was caused by the care
lessness of a new dispatcher at Salt
Lake, who issued two positive meeting
orders, but incorporated the names of
different places to them.
When this dispatch was received, a
Herald reporter endeavored to see Mr..
Welby with regard to it, but that gem
tleman had retired for the night, and
the Rio Grande Western dispatcher
office was, as usual, dead to the world.
1t will be remembered that when En-
glneer McGraw was interviewed at the
hospital by a Herald reporter, he
placed the blame entirely upon the dis
patcher here. The Rio Grande Western
off1cials, however, entirely exonerated
the dispatcher and put the RESPONSE
blllty upon the engineers
