IN building line from Fort Steele. on
the Union Pacific, TO Saratoga. has re
turned from Omaha. where he has beer
for several days in consultation with
officials Of the Union Pacific relative to
traffic arrangements between the two
roads. The Wyoming Southern has
contaminated the purchase Of 5000
railroad ties which We're seized from
j. G. Teller OF Denver last spring. as
the latter had cut them from govern
Inent land The railroad company paid
cash for the ties at the rate Of % cents
per tie. the transaction amounting to
$1,000. This deal dispels all douh,
which may have prevailed heretofore
regarding the building Of the Wyo-
ming Southern The work Of grading
the line Will be commenced at once and
the steel will be laid as soon as the
grade is completed. II IS safe 10 say

Ten persons were Injured, none Of
them fatally. at 6:13 O'Clock Tuesday
morning by wreck on the Colorado
Midland Of a Denver & Rio Grande
train al Busk. eight miles west Of
Leadyille. The most seriously injured
is ]. g. Brennan. the conductor. three
Of whose ribs were broken. A mud
slide In the canon OF the Grand river
on the Denver & Rio Grande has com.
PEELED that road TO use the tracks Of
the Colorado Midland from New Castle
into Leadville. The wrecked train was
re- % 81. -
No. 2, bound for Denver. II had Just
come out Of the Busk tunnel. on n
/ curve at the head Of n steep hill. beside
n steep embankment 200 yards from
[ the tunnels mouth. the train left the
track. 1t was going not more than
twelve miles an hour at the time and
this probably prevented more serious
wreck. None Of the couplings that link
ed the ditched cars 10 those on the
I track parted. This prevented the cars
from rolling down the embankment.
IL Is presumed that a broken rail was
the cause, although Of this the officials
/ Of neither the Midland nor the Rio
l Grande are certain. The engine re-
mained on the track, but the mail
baggage, smoker and one chair car
went into the ditch. while the trucks Of
n second chair ear and Of one sleeper
were wrcnchcd loose. The other sleep.
ers were not damaged.
