Knowing that Mrs. 2. Miexsell was

home at PittSburg. Kan, a circle OF
her friends Monday eve conceived the
plan of surprising her in social man.

guests began to arrive at the residence

A Wreck,

Quite a wreck occurred on the San
ia Fe about block east of the Union
depot Monday. About IL o'clock, a
stock extra pulled in from the west in
charge of Conductor Wuner and En-
gineer Steve Barner. The switch en-.
CINE in charge of Engineman Aldridge
was backing up from the yards toward
the uuiOn depot with long string of
empty stock cars which had Just ar
rived on an extra from the north.
The incoming train crew naturally
supposed the track was clear and con.
'sequently had run so near the switch
engine before they noticed it that it
was impossible to prevent a collision.
Both crews staid on their trains.
The engines struck with a crash that
was heard all over town. Two empty
stock cars were badly injured, one
being completely demolished. The
switch engine was badly damaged and
partly derailed. The other engine
was damaged but slightly. One of
the empty stock cars was forced clear
on top of the engine pulling the stock
extra, and it is wonder that both
the engineman and fireman were not
killed as they were hemmed in on all
sides and could not get out of their
cab. The main track was blocked
about two hours. No one was hurt.
