| A smssh-up occurred in the G. 81.
yards at an early hour this morning
and as Q result two engines are badly
damaged, aod q road engine slight
dis6gured. The facts, as near se could
be ascertained, are as follows: The
Texas & Pacific switch engine went in
to the G. II. yards about O'Clock after
her transfer cars, and was about ready
to leave for the T. p. yards when the
engineer noticed train "a coming in on
the G. b. Billy BorcherdinR, with g.
Fl. switch engine No. 6a4, was 1t the
water tanx, and q signal intended for
him, was taken by the engineer OF the
incoming train, who came thunderin
ahead. This placed the r. P. train in
| bad predican ent-the 654 ahead of
| her and train "a coming behind her.
The T. P. engineer had but little time
in which to make up his mind, go be
opened wide the throttle and Jumped
for safety. His engine plunged ahead
and struck the 654 with very testruc.
tive force. and about the same moment
| train "a struck the transfer cara. The
| two switch enginss are badly damaged,
the 7. P. being almost beyond recoeni-
| ton. The accident seems to have been
caused by q combination of circum-
stances with no particular person to
blame.
