guard. As it crossed the switch al Chase
street the engine forced the switch. and
under the next car the frog gave way.
The tracks spread, and in an instant
there was an awful crash. followed by
the shrieks of frightened and imprisoned
passengers.
As the engine left the tracks it plowed
down an embankment and turned over
in ditch. Engineer Rinehart and Fire
man Fritz escaped with slight injury by
jumping, as did Conductor Clarkson.
AS the engine rolled over she pulled with
her three of the cars, which were COM
pletely destroyed. The first was turned
on its side in the ditch and the passen-
gers were pinned in their seats. The
second car was split open and partially
destroyed, while the third car was torn
