Remarkable Escape of Passenger Train
Ten Men Meet Their DEATH

Conneaut o., July 12.-Just after
10 o'clock yesterday three cars went

cars heavily laden out on the bridge to
unload stone for the masons working
beneath on the stone foundations. The
work of unloading had hardly begun

Sioux City, Ia, July 12.-The lives
of about fifty people were probably
saved by Mrs. Frank Zurcher, farm
er's wife, living near osmond, Neb.
The train leaving Sioux City over the
Pacific Short line, bound for O'Neill,
Neb., was stopped Just before it was to
have plunged across a short bridge
that had been on fire and was unsafe.
After fighting the flames with her
sons until they were eNtinguished the
woman ran down the track and tagged
the passenger with her apron. On the
east side of the bridge there is a deep
cut and curve, and 1t would have
been impossible for the engineer to
have seen the danger ahead in time to
stop his engine and avert an accident.
