 Dash. JUMPS THE TRACK AND PLUNGES INTO A MUD
 HOLE Five Hours Required to Clear the Wreck and Let the Regular
 Trains Move.
NOBODY INJURED IN WRECK

The Iron Mountain accommodation train due here from Little Rock Mon- day afternoon at 5:30 o'clock did not arrive until II o'clock that night. The delay was caused by an accident which occurred between Redfield and Kearney Monday afternoon few minutes before the accommodation train reached Redfield
 The Iron Mountain road is being generally improved between Redfeld and this city, and there are a large number of workmen and several work trains at that point Monday after noon an engine to which was attach ed five cars got away from the engi- neer at Redfeld and dashed wildly southward. There was no one at the engine at the time and no effort could be made to stop the fast moving train. After running a distance of two miles, the train Jumped the track at kearney and sank into a large mud hole on the side of the track. The engine and one of the cars were bur- rled almost from view and much of the track on siding was torn up. It took about five hours for the wreck CT to clear the track and allow the passenger, which was laid up at Red field to proceed The passen- ger which was due here at 5: 45 o'clock en route to Little Rock from Alexandria, was also delayed at siding five miles north of this city and reached Little Rock several hours behind time.
