passenger train, says.
II learn from a person living near
Cass that two black clouds gathered
and came in contact about over the
place where No. was wrecked The
culvert which was washed out was
stone box three feet square under a
25-foot hill. The water was about five
feet above the opening OF the culvert
ana about 200 feet wide, causing the
earth above TO slide.
we have never observed high water
at this point before Nr Danes thinks
ne win have q bridge over the opening
in fix hours after the road bed is clear
Of cars.
"The engine and five cars went down
the bank but one sleeper and the pri-
vate car Of Gen Supt, Cotter. OF the
Iron Mountain road remained on the
