Limits-No Lives Lost.
A railroad accident occurred |
yesterday afternoon at the south
edge of our city, which for several
hours stopped all travel; did a
good deal of damage, but fortun-
ately was unattended with any loss,
of life.
1t seems that first, No. 81, one
of these long double headers. had
been loading stock at the stock
pens below the oil mills, and the
string of cars was backed away
down into the old Douglas field.
A flag man had been out on
duty to warn following trains and
had Just been called in as the train
was ready to pull out.
Just as he reached the caboose
a work traiu came laundering
around the curve he had just left
and not over two hundred yards
away.
It was no time for words, the
brakeman pulled stockman from
the caboose, the Engineer John
). Garmany and his fireman on the
approaching train jumped and at
the same instant their engine de-
molished the caboose and wrecked
|, two or three cars and was greatly
, damaged itself.
