Another terrible accident happened
on La Veta pass. As n result one man
Is dead and seven are severely injured.
with Indications that several of them
may die. The scene of the accident
was on n new broad gauge line of the
Denver X Rio Grande road between La
Neta and Alamosa. A n loaded with
steel rails was being pushed up the
grade toward the summit, eight work
men being on the car. While rounding
n curve the ear was suddenly thrown
from the track by the giving way of
couplings or the jolting of the engine
over the rough rOndbed, and in an in
slant the men We're thrown IN "A heap
the heavy rails flying off behind them
down ON the jagged rocks beside the
track. Bones We're broken, great pieces
of flesh shaved on by the sharp edges
of the rails and some We're fairly i'm
palcd OH the cruel steel. As soon rs
men could be summoned from other
places along the line the bruised and
bleeding forms were e%Atricatcd and rc-
moved to the nearest station, where
surgical aid was given, but the ply

A temporary injunction has beer oh
tanned by a. b. Seaman, attorney for
Rhodes Bros, against the Colorado y
Southern railroad, preventing that road
from further trespassing on land on
the south fork of the Platte river"
claimed by Rhodes Bros. On this
ground the Colorado Il Southern have
been constructing part of its 1,2UO-foOt
spur and Rhodes Bros. claim the prop
erty under II federal reservoir grant.
The order of the court so far does not
compel the taking up of the track nj
ready laid, but simply stops further
work until the case is decided on its
merits. The contest over the site will
no doubt be long drawn out. as the
canon will some day he of great value.
The possibility that the canon will ere
long be the short line route from Den
yer to Cripple Creek is said to he the
principal reason for the railroads de
sire to put up Il strong fight for the
spun site as selected. But A.. b. Sea-
man says hat he is confident that
james Il. Rhodes, his client. will win
out. If he does the Colorado & South.
ern will be obliged to take up that part
OF the spun already laid.
The W. c. r. L. closed its three.days
session of the state convention Friday
evening. The attendance throughout
has been good. The most interesting
part of the closing days report was
the paper of Mrs. Likens on the rescue
work, dealing especially with the Cot,
tage Home. The fact that nearly 700
girls have been taken into its doors,
cared for. nursed and won back to lives
of responsibility. speaks well for It's
management and for the women of the
w. C.. Il. L., who have stood by il for
the twelve years of its existence. The
afternoon exercises were lively aud full
OF interest. The Cottage Home conSti.
tuition was slightly altered. Tie fol.
