INTO OPEN SWITCH.
Southern Pacific Tra,a Is Wrecked at Salem
Engineer and Fireman Killed.

Salsm, Or, Dec. S.-The north
bound California express No. IL, due
here at 4:34 and in Portland at 7 P.
M, was derailed at the trestle 2OC
yards south of the Salem station on
its schedule time yesterday afternoon.
The engine and the mail and baggage
cars, smoker and one day coach left
the rails. Fireman Fish received in
juries from which he died soon after
being taken to the hospital. Engi,
neer William H. White was badly
scalded, and it was thought he would
recover, but he died at 5 10 this
morning. None of the passengers OF
other members of the train crew re-
ceived any injuries.
An open switch 20 yards south Of
the trestle caused the accident. The
scene of the wreck is within the yard
limits. The train was on time and
was entering the station yard at a
moderate rate of speed. The train
consisted of eight coaches, including
the special car of Superintendent
Fields, who was promptly on the
scene and personally directed the
operations in extricating the fireman
and engineer and clearing the tracks.
The engine, mail and baggage
coaches, smoker and one day coach
took the switch track, the other cars
remaining on the main track. The
engine and the mail coach left the
switch upon entering the trestle and
plunged into the creek about II feet
below. Fireman Fish jumped and
was caught beneath the trucks of the
baggage car, which was then directly
across the tracks. His body was
fearfully mangled and he lived only
Is minutes after reaching Florence
sanitarium. Two day coaches left
the rails but remained on the embank-
ment. The passengers were badly
shaken up but none were injured.
Engineer White remained at his
post and his left leg was caught be-
tween the engine and tender. Two
hours of hard labor was required to
extricate him and the limb for it's en-
tire length was severely scalded by
steam that came from the frebox.
EAlthough in great pain not murmul
escaped his lips, nor did he lose con.
sciousness, and when finally released
his first inquiry was for his fireman
/ The cause of the accident was un
questionably an open switch. The
blame. therefore, has not been def
nitely fixed. The switch is supposed
to have been left insecurely closed by
the crew of the freight train which
left the station yard less than an houl
before the arrival of the passenger
train. The lock to- the switch il
missing and has not been found
The section foreman, who passed ovel
the main track subsequent to the de
parture of the freight train, says thu
switch was properly adjusted, but th'
absence of the switch lock cannot b,
explained. It is not considered prob
able that in broad day light ano
within 200 yards of the depot th'
switch was tampered with 80 minute
before the arrival of the train. En-
gineer White said the switch was hal
open. He had slowed down and wa
running 20 miles an hour. The en-
gine took the switch and the tende
took the main track.
