FISHER, Mimi, June 2e.-Thomas Hunter, .

wost-bound passenger train on the Great North
ern from being wrecked to-day. Hunter and
his gang had been working along the road nl

a half mile OF the track lifted from the rondbcd
and thrown into n ditch. In some places
the track was thrown six feet irem the
roadbed and down a steep ombankment. Tho
men say IL vas done so quickly that they could
hardly realize what had happened. II looked as
II some supernatural power had lifted the track
from the ground and hurled 1t aside. The
weather had been intensely hot, and II 10 sup-
posed that when tho rails were expanded by the
heat they were finally lifted and thrown of the
ties.
Hunter knew that the westbound passenger
train was nearly due and that the engineer. be-
cause Of q sharp curve. could not see the gap
where the track had boon torn up until he WINS
almost upon II. lie ran down the track and
reached the curve In time to signal the train.
The air brakes wore put on and the train was
stopped within 400 feet OF the gap in the track.
