WILD RUN o. AN ENGINE.
Stampedes From the Yards
With No One Aboard.
TRAIN PORTER is KILLED.

Rock leland Locomotive Escapcs From It's
Moorings at Council Bluffs and Mixes
Up In Several Collisions Before Being
Brought Under Control.
Council Bluffs, Jan. 1S.-A Rock
ISLAND engine escaped from its moor
fngs in the yards here yesterday and
started on a rampage that ended dis.
lastrously. One man was killed and
three persons injured as the result
of the engines wild run.
The engine was standing on side
track undergoing a cleaning. Sud
denly 1t darted away, with neither
engineer nor fireman aboard. Reach
ing the main line the engine crashed
into the rear coach of a Wabash pas
senger train. The coach was thrown
from the track. The only passengers
in the coach were Mrs. H0stler and
two children of Omaha. They suf-
fered painful bruises. They were
rescued from the damaged coach
which was left behind when the train
pulled out.
Jesse Bell, the Rack Island porter
had boarded the back platform of the
Wabash coach. He was hurled un.
derneath the passenger coach and his
entire body was crushed into an un
recognizable mass. Death was In.
Simultaneous.
The engine. after colliding with the
passenger train, left the rails and ran
for some distance on the ties. /,
struck a passing Union Pacific switch
engine amidships. disabling it. Al
this juncture an engineer climbed
aboard the runaway engine. but be
fore he could get it under control il
crashed into the engine of the Rocl
Island passenger train, which was fol
lowing the ill-fated Wabash train Tht
collision was of sufficient velocity tx

new locomotive had to be secured
to enable the Rock Island train tt
continue its journey.

THAT CONTEST.

z The Vail Observer, in speaking of
hecounty printing takes very sensi-
I bic view of the case, and although max,
ing the contest. does not do so with any
personal ill-will. We do not believe
that Mr.. Shonp, of the Charter Oak
Times, is actuated by any other motive
save to secure what the law will al
low him. The outcome of the contest
will be watched with much interest by
the publishers of the county, as what
is sauce for the Times this year, may
be sauce for any of the others when an
other year rolls round. The Observer
says
The board made a fair proposition
to all papers that made application this
year, but Mr.. Shoup declared that
he wanted to be whole hog or none''
and this the board did not favor thous h
it was silent. In the years past the
patronage has been equally divided
and there has been no complaint at the
fairness of the board to get the pro-
ceedings to as many taxpayers as possi-
BILE for the amount they are allowed.
Before anything farther was done the
Vail Observer contested the list of tbs
Charter Oak Times as not being the
correct number of actual yearly. sub.
scribers in the county. This was fol-
lowed by the reading Of decisions from
the code and the opinions of several
able lawyers, including, by the way,
s. ". O'Hare. the county attorney. and
there was enough law dispensed that
afternoon to do the average man good
to be present No hard feeling exists
on the part of the Observer toward any
paper or editor in the county, but we
do believe that there are several names
on the Times's list that should not be
there and it is not the fault of the edi-
tor. The board set March Is for the
filing, of objections and April as the
date when they would make their final
decision. The only papers that were
selected we're the Bulletin and Review
and the compensation was not fixed
though it looks as if the two German
papers would lose the patronage that
has heretofore been accorded them.
Whether this paper is selected or not
by the board the proceedings will be
published through the entiresyear that
the readers may be acquainted with
what is being done.
