In August Of the same year No. %
ran into a pile of rocks which had fall
len on the track seven miles west of
Buena Vista and was thrown from the
track. While jacking the engine back
on the track Lee West, one of the
wrecking crew, had occasion to go un-
der the engine. The jack broke, and
West was crushed so that he died soon
after.
Again three years elapsed before
No. % had another mishap. This
was to be the dreadful accident at
New Castle, n,which sixteen persons

was in the Rio Grande- Midland wreck
was also man-kilicr. Several tramps
had been killed by this engine. No.

May 90, 1897, at Cabeza, Col. A
freight train had gone in the siding
for No. q to pass, and the aagman left
the switch open. Dashing around the
curve at full speed, No. 506 ran on to
the switch and crashed into the other

ism and being compelled to &c to the
shops forrepairs.
While No. sos had been looked upon
as one Of the "Jonahs'' Of the road, ,
the most ill-fated engine the Rio
Grande has ever had is old No. 1O7,
now in the boneyard in West Denver.
This engine has killed seven en-
ployees Of the road and tramp or
two. It's first wreck was about ten
years ago at Roubideau bridge The
engine went through the bridge, and
the engineer and two fremen were
killed. The engineers name was
William Duncan, and fireman who
was dead-heading'' over the road,
named Josh Quigley, was also killed.
The name Of the regular fireman had
been forgotten. -
The second wreck was few months
later at Escalante, whsn large boui-
der rolled down the mountain on to
track. This time the engine was bad
~ wrecked, the engineer aud fireman
killed, and several passengers hurt.
Not six months after the second ac-
cident engine No. 107 ran into land
slide at Black Canyon, and was again
wrecked. The engineer and fireman
were both killed almost instantly.
After being taken to the shops and
repaired the officials thought they
would have better luck if the engine
were transferred to eaother part Of the
road, and sent it to the Rio Grande
Western. Here it was rnn for a num-
ber of years, but something was almost
constantly wrong with the mechanism
OF it would "die'' out on the road, de-
laying y train many hours, SO it was
finally sent back to Denver and rele-
gated to the s'boneyard,' = where it is
now standing. Several other wrecks
Of No. 107 are recalled by some of the
old employees, in one Of which an en-
gineer was MANNED fer lie and several
ctthheTs badly injured. =. Chicago Intey-
