FREIGHT SLIGHTLY WRECKED.
Train Broke in Two and Three Wheat
Laden Cars Thrown From
the Track.

One of those fortunate accidents,
wherein but for the if, which means so
much, serious and fatal catastrophe
must have taken place, occurred Saturday
night just after the west-bound freight
from Umatilla had passed the Summit.
The train had just twenty-five minutes
in which to reach The Dalles before the
passenger arrived, when journal-box
broke, letting the truck down and caus-
cars loaded with wheat to leave the
track, piling up in a heap. Engineer
Ferguson, seeing that nothing else could
be done, sent flagman back toward the
Summit and started on to The Dalles
with the forward part of the train. just
as they reached Seufert's, three miles
from town, the east-bound passenger
made its appearance and was tagged,
when it backed down to the city and
was compelled to wait until O'Clock
yesterday morning. In the meantime
the 80 and O'Clock west bound trains
were tagged, and were also compelled to
wait until the track was cleared.
a large Iorce Oh men from mere, anu IN
fact all the workmen to be obtained,
were sent to the scene of the wreck, and
the work of clearing progressed rap
idly.
Fortunately no lives were lost and the
loss to the company is slight, being about
$500, barring the delay.
Trainmen, however, say that had the
accident occurred half mile further
west, one of the worst wrecks ever
known on the road would have taken
place, as the steep down grade would
necessarily have added to the disaster.

Trodd made a rambling statement to
the effect that the German, American
and French nations had hypnotically
influenced him and pcstcred him with
accusations. He was not sure, he said
whether lriSh-Americans were not also
guilty Of accusations started some
years ago by United States Consul
General =. A. Collins, who was sup
ported by Germans. the latter being
among his first accusers.
AS the home office had refused to as
sist him he thought that he would be
justified in taking the law into his own
hands, which he said. would be a les
son to Germans not to interfere with
the English.
