A ESCAPE

An interesting item in connection
with the wreck which occurred at
Harper last Friday night, when the
west bound passenger No. 1 ran into a
freight train, is related as follows: The
caboose of the freight train caught fire
from the headlight Of the engine. Next
to the engine were four cars of Oil and
the trainmen at once called all hands to
put out the fire, which was making
rapid Roadway. The operator at Har-
per, where the wreck occurred, went to
call the conductor to report on the
wreck. Mr.. Matthew's answer was to
the point, that he was too busy fight
ing a fire to stop to report, and his &C
ton, when understood at Laramie, was
endorsed. By hard work and at much.
risk the fire was put out. Had the
flames reached the Oil cars there would
have been some terrible explosions and
no doubt both trains would have been
burned up and the consequences might
have been appalling.

THE BLOCKADE.

The blockade which settled down on
the hill Sunday might still holds fast.
No. 1 of Sunday was the first train
caught. 1t stalled at the gravel pitts,
which have proved a very bad place for
drifts, but was afterwards released and
backed up to Buford. Since then all
trains from the east have been held
at Cheyenne, while trains from the
west have been held ait Laramie. The
trains now here include Sunday nights
No. 2, and the snow-bound passenger
conductors at this point, not counting
today's No. 4, are Messrs. Mills, Wood
mansee, Quigley, Wolcott and Schil-
ling. All day yesterday power was at
tached to the trains in the yards and
they were ready to move at a mement's
notice. The same plan was pursued to-
day.
Although the drifts east OF Sherman
are mountain high, the most trying con-
dition exists between Tie Siding and
Dale Greek. In the cut formerly ov-
cred by snow shed No. 10 there is a
drift more than a thousand feet In
length, and the rotary which was dis
abled at an early nour this morning
was right in the midst OF it when the
accident occurred. The cut behind, OF
course, filled rapidly ana it became
necessary to send another pillow and
"snow-birds" to the The latter
outfit is in charge OF General Manager
Dickinson and it is believed he will
succeed in lifting the blockade before
nightfall.
All day the wind has been blowing a
gale on Sherman hill and the shovelers
have been to a great disadvantage in
consequence. With cuts from ten to
twenty feet deep and filled to the brim,
the elements could whisk about two
%shovelfuls in while one was being
thrown out.

w. A. Comfy has gone Il to North
park to look after the stage stations on
his route. The supply of hay ran out
some time ago and it has been neces-
sary to feed grain. The stage has been
been making trips quite regularly dur
ing the past month Notwithstanding
the unusually severe winter.
+. c. Rauner is considerably improv-
ed today. He slept considerably last
night and was greatly refreshed. This
morning he insisted on smoking a Il

rumored yesterday hat he would be
compelled to lose the injured foot, but
the umo was without foundation.
Up at the Boswell ranch there is a
huge bowlder in the river that serves
as a gauge for good fly fishing. When
that rock sticks its nose out of the wa

prime. This year it will probably re-
main under cover two or three weeks
longer than usual, or until about the
middle of July.
The board of county commissioners
is in session today, the principal bust
ness being the auditing of bills and
looking after pauper affairs. On ac-
count of the storm, Mr.. Broadhurst is
not present. The board today selected
paper for the several rooms at the court
house. The judges office, the clerk
office, the treasurer's office and two
ICONS up stairs will be repapered. No
appointment for office Of assessor was
made today. Indeed, there is some
question whether any will be made.
Treasurer Reals was elected as ASSESSOR
and has given a bond to do the work
and 1t is not sc sure that he can be leg
islated out of office.

A terrible accident occurred near
Dale Greek at 1870 this morning, by
which n man was seriously and an
other dangerously scalded.
One of the rotaries was trying to
clear the cut formerly covered by No.
10 shed and became stuck in the drift.
In the effort to draw the rotary back, it
was pulled in two, disconnecting the
steam over the helpless victims.
Herman George, SON of Ludwig
George of this city, fireman on the ro-
tary, was severely scalded about the
hands and forearms and some about
the face and neck, but will recover in
a few days.
A. ]. Showers, a s~now-shoveler, was
scalded in a terrible manner. The
fronts and backs of his hands were
burned to the bone and the skin has
fallen away from these members entire
ly. His forearms are burned almost as
bad, and his face and neck suffered Sc
verely. Showers was formerly a sheep
herder, but engaged with the company
to assist in raising the blockade.
The two men were brought to Lara
mic without delay and were treated by
DR.. H. L. Stevens, the company sur
geon. George will remain at Laramie,
at his home, and Showers was taken cut
to the hospital this noon Showers in
that he may die.

NOTES OF H STORM.


All the peanuts in town have been
sold out to passengers on the delayed
trains.
Trainmaster Hay has been assisting
for some time on the district between
Laramie and Rawlins.
Overland passengers from the east
say they will learn to snowshoe before
coming west again and then they can
make their way over the mountains
through blockaded districts.
A number Of Laramie people who In
tended going to Denver yesterday to
hear Melba in grand opera have been
obliged to wait on account of the block
AIDE. AS the company is In Denver all
week there Is still some hope.
Some curious individual telephoned
to the train Dispatcher ONCE to know
when the last train left for the east"
OF course he was safe and one of the
dispatchers told him it would be
some time after the first train left.
The unprecedented snowfall in the
mountains will cause high water in all
the streams till late in the summer. Mr..
Pelton stated today that he did not be-

of the G.. l. A. to the B. OF l.. E. and
their president, Mrs. MURDOCH, Is at the
capital to meet with those members in
Wyoming who can make it convenient
to attend. Bright and early yesterday
the Laramie ladies boarded No. 2, which
was standing in the yards. and they

THE ACTIVE GENERAL MANAGER.

THE ACTIVE GENERAL MANAGER.
For ten days past General Manager
Edward Dickinson has been right in
the thickest of the trouble on the line,
actively directing the battle with Cor
cas-. From the first the fight has been a
terrible one. bu the past week has been
the worst of all, because of the prevail
ing high winds. One trouble has fol-
lowed another in rapid succession, but
all have been met with stern resolu-
ton and the best Judgment at COM
mand.
Yesterday Mr.. Dickinson left Lara
mic with a rotary pillow and cleared the
track between Laramie and Medicine
Bow. 1t took twelve hours to the
distance. He returned to Laramie dur
ing the night and left for the drifts on
Sherman hill this morning, taking a
rotary and a large outfit of shovelers
with him. All day long he has been
successfully clearing the road, although
the high wind rapidly blows the snow
back into the cuts and the clearing OPP
Grafton must be dome over and owe
again.
The presence of Mr. Dickinson here
at this time calls to mind a rather
humorous incident of the long ago,
when he was the superintendent of the
old Laramie division. A train Of de-
ciduous fruit passed east during a time
when drifts were deep and a blockade
imminent. Mr.. Dickinson remarked to
the conductor, Nov don't get stuck
with that train" There was then, as
now. a bad cut between Buford and
Granite. Snow had piled in it as high
as the cars. Henry johnson, long since
departed for other fields OF labor, was
the engineer, and - - was
the conductor. In those days trains
were handled with hand brakes and not
by the engineer. AS the cut in Ques-
ton was approached. the conductor
gave the signal to the brakemen to re-
lease brakes and the speed Of the train
soon reached the mile-a-minute gait.
johnson repeatedly whistled for brakes
but no attention was paid to him and
he was soon plunged out Of sight in the
huge drift. The head-brakeman.
standing on the fourth car from the en-
CINE, was completely covered with
snow. The train reached Granite with
out accident. but johnson was Is white
as the snow through which he was
forced and it IL stated that his hair
never entirely resumed Its auburn hue.
As the conductor Is still . faithful en-
ploye Of the company, we have With
held his name.
