Almost a Miracle.

Passenger train No. was wrecked at bridge just south of Winthrop Friday evening, which was little less than miracle. The bridge had been burned and as the train approached Engineer Johnson saw that a wreck was almost certain, and set the emergency air but could not stop in time to avoid it. The engine passed over the defective bridge but the tender and baggage car went down. It was found that not a man on the entire train was hurt in the least. The baggage man and the mail clerk were in their cars but received no injuries. An extra train was sent out to the wreck and everything was transferred and brought in here about o'clock Saturday afternoon.
