jamestown Alert: What might have
proven a serious wreck to train No. 2
Sunday morning near Hebron, N. D.,
was narrowly averted by the presence of
mind of Postal Clerk Hibbs. Looking
out of the door he noticed fire and
sparks flying in the air from beneath a
refrigerator car of fish, which was next
to the engine and mail car. He gave the
air signal for an immediate stop and the
trainmen came up to investigate. They
found the trucks broken under the fish
car and dragging on the ties and rails,
the car was cut off and was only moved
a few feet before it left the rails, but b,
hard work was placed back on the track
and taken to Glen Ullin and left for re-
pairs. All the trainmen think themsel
YES lucky to get off so easily with M
more serious damage.
