 LANG, Cal.-Northbound train No. 20, leaving Los Angeles at ! :45 p. m, by very fortunate happening, was saved from what would certainly have proven serious wreck. A short tun- mel four miles beyond here, between Lang and Russ stations. at its upper end gave way, filling completely from floor to roof. It Is estimated that many hundred tons of rock were dis placed by the side. A camping party, composed of J. H. Hoffman, W. J. Reeves, T. J. Henderson, and J. H | Craig. was about three-quarters of | mile distant at the time of the break. They were attracted by the report and shock, and on investigation discovered the slide and at once he stened to Lang station, to notify. the agent. Owing to bend in this tunnel the engineer could not have seen the obstruction till within 8 hundred feet of it, and had it not been for the timely warn- 1 ing disastrous wreck could not have been averted, as the customary rate of speed is about twenty miles an hour at this point.
