the Colorado Midland from New Castle

the first section OF the through train
No. 2, bound for Denver. II had just
come out OF the Bnsk tunnel. on
curve at the head of steep hill. beside
n steep embankmcnt 200 yards from
the tunnels mouth. the train left the
track. II was going not more than
twelve miles mn hour AT the time and
this probably prevented more serious
wreck. None of the couplings that link
ed the ditched cars to those on the
track parted This prevented the cars
from rolling down the embnnkment.
II Is presumed that broken rail was
the cause, although of this the officials
OF neither the Midland nor the Rio
Grnnde are certain. The engine re-

Caldwell Yeaman OF Denver; first vice
president, ex-Judge Julius c. Gunter of
Trinidad; second vice president, ex-
Judge S. $. Downer OF Boulder: secre-
tnry and treasurer, Luclus W. Hoyt OF
Denver. The feature of the meeting
was the address by Hon. Moses Hallett
OF Denver, In which he denounced cor
porations. He said: at Is better for all
concerned that any stated work shall
be done by 1000 men acting lndepcnd-
emily. than to have the same work done
by the same men under the control of
corporation" Judge Hallett then re-
ferred to the Standard OIL Company
and declared that many young man
had gone TO financial ruin under lis
wheels, because he tried to buck
against 1t; and that others have become
INSCRIPTIONS in serving 1t. In closing
he said: True manhood is tub OH
Its own bottom. He paddles his own
canoe. He needs no disguise. He has
no false colors. He fights In open day
light. and he claims always only the
victory of truth and honesty. He asks
only to be put on equal footing with
priest or potentate and mould OF com
mon clay. and lenves the result to his
good right arm. All hail the day when
the state shall cease to make artificial
men override and oppress the natural
man whom God made In his own
image" Former Vice President Adlai
Il. Stevenson also spoke and was list
ened to with rapt attention. many per-
sons who are not members of the Bar
Association going out from the city to
hear him.
