Another frightful smash-up occurred
at O'Neill switch, the first side track
west of Rawlins, early Sunday morn
ing. This is the place where thu dis,
men lost their lives. No death has yet
occurred as the result of this but three
men We're seriously hurt, one perhaps
fatally.
The wreck was on the new line. A
train of fifteen gravel cars got away
from a brakeman at Scion and start
ed down the grade. The brakeman
could do nothing to check the speed
Of the cars and their momentum in
one station they passed in their mad
flight it was reckoned that their speed
was 60 miles an hour.
At O'Neill the cars, coming thus tear
ing through the night, crashed into an
engine hat was switching cars at
O'Neill. The gravel train was demol-
lSneu n the luCkleSS engine WaS re-
duced to a mass of twisted and bat
tered steel. That no one was killed
outright seems little short of marvel
Gus. Both the engineer and the fire,
men were at their posts and did not
see or hear the runaway train ill it
had crashed into them. The worst in
jury was hat suffered by Fireman J.
II. McGaughy. His skull was fractur-
ed and it is thought that he cannot sur
vive. Engineer Christensen suffered
minor injuries and Brakeman j. r.
Brandon, who vas on the runaway
train, was cut up n good deal, but will
live to tell the story of his hair-raisinG
ride.
The conductor of the gravel train
remained on the hill at Scion and did
not know what had happened till sew
eral hours later.

Buy an Ice Book.

After May we will have on sale Coupon Ice Books-5OO and 1000 pounds and we wish to state to all of our patrons that if they will buy and use the Ice books much tune and trouble will be saved, as we will charge no ice af. tsr that date. and as it is not always con venient to have the change around the house, customers will fnd the ice books less trouble to themselves and their use will be appreciated by us, as it will enable us to devote more of our time to looking after the wagon and the de. livery, and by so doing give better ser. vice.
 We also wish to state that we will deliver ics only once each day, except to the stores and business portion of the city, and all persons who do not procure their ice from the wagon in the mornings, will have to send to the factory for same. These rules are nee. essary, and we trust will meet the ap- proval of the public, and that it will cooperate with us in their strict en- foroement. Very respectfully.
