Recalls Similar Incident.

The recent fatal accident on the RocK
Island road at Victor, when one of the
passenger engines. of modern type,
exploded while going at rate of fifty
miles an hour. brings to the mind OF
some of the old-time Iowa Central en-
ployes a similar incident on the Iowa
Central when Engineer Ed" Bosley
was killed by the blowing up of the
.32" 1t happened eighteen years or so
ago on Lacey Hill" which was cut
down last summer during the course of
the roads improvements. Bosley was
pulling BILLY" Gregory, and his fireman
was "Charley' Choate of this city, a
son of John Choate, who was former
engineer OH the road and is now in the
company's service. in the tool room of
the shops. Like the Rock Island Incl
dent there was no real knowledge of the
cause of the explosion-it might have
been due to one of several causes.
Choate miraculously escaped with his
life, as did also Gregory, who was
thrown clear outside the right-of way
by the force of the explosion.
Choate, who had passed thru another
similar experience on the Illinois Cen
trail was killed three or four years later
while "bucking" snow at Manley juno
ton. He was on the lead engine of
the II and Is. that had
fastened to the front engine the old
Red Bird" snow pillow. The engines
had backed down to the tank to take on
a fresh supply of water, when the b..
C. r. & N. flyer pulled in, struck the
tank of the rear engine and literally

the winter of 'S7'S, and whereabouts.
that have been recalled of late, by oc-
currences here and there, that furnish
tales of railroad life whenever a bunch
of the old timers" get together.

Story From Boone Is TO the Effect
That a Shakeup is Imminent.
A story sent out from Boone is to
the effect that general shakeup Is
imminent among the officials OF the
Chicago & Northwestern. and that the
designations of General Superintendent
R. II. Ashton and Chief Engineer H..
IC. Carter will be announced soon. Ths
rumor also states that Mr. III. j. Shfer.
now superintendent of the Iowa divi-
sion. with headquarters in Boone, is
slated for Mr.. Carter's position. and
that Mr.. S. Sanborn. of the Sioux
City division, Is to succeed Mr. Slifer
What leads to the rumor seems to
be the presence of all of the officials
in Chicago. That is evidently eX-
planned, however by the fact that train.
order school is being conducted there
by the members, of the committee on
train rules The standard code of
rules and signals, known as the code OF
