A BAD Accident.

The rains last night south and
southeast of town caused heavy rise
in Clay creek, which washed out
the bitches south Of the railroad
track and with the water from them
added made quite a flood by the time
it reached the railroad tressle across
Clay creek about four miles east of
Lamar.
Train No. o, the fast passenger go-
ing east, in charge OF Conductor Pi-
per, left Lamar about lao a. m. and
when it reached the tressle was tray-
elling at the rate Of about forty miles
au hour. When the engine was near
the eastern end of the tressle the
track gave way under it throwing it
so violently against the bank of the
stream that il turned completely
around and is facing west. The train
was composed of six cars and five of
them were dragged off Of the track,
three being thrown into the stream.
Luckily there were two dead head
baggage cars, inhabited only by the
usual road tourists next to the en-
gine and they with the mail car took
the brunt of the shock and saved the
passengers, none Of whom were hurt
beyond severe shaking up.
The engineer and mail clerk both
Received severe injuries, but nothing
fserious. The fireman jumped when
he first felt the engine going down,
and escaped with only an ice cold
bath, the water being full of hail
stones. These men succeeding in
rescuing several tourists who were
badly hurt. One Of the latter has a
broken leg aud other very serious in
juries.
The mail car was one of those In
the wateT and as the Lamar mail had
just been received and was being dis
tributed, it was badly damaged. Any
one who sent important letters in this
mail should send duplicates to make
certain Of their delivery.
