Passenger Train

Passengers on the Great North
ern eastbound limited, due at
O'Clock but which arrived at noon
today, report that the train was de-
layed three hours on account of a
freight wreck at Old Mission this
morning.
Thep assengers saw an engine
off the track and partly tipped over
and two or three boxcars were in
the ditch alongside.
From conversations with the
freight crew the passengers learned
that the freight was running not to
exceed Is or 20 miles per hour
when the accident occurred.
An open switch was reported to
have been the cause and the en-
ginemen, thinking the engine would

HOLDS Them
Mayor Not Quite Satisfied
with Costello Matter.

The disagreement which has been
going on for some time between
Peter Costello and the city seems
20 be practically settled with the
effect that Costello may continue
o receive contract work from the
city.
Several contracts which have
been held up for some time will
perhaps be awarded to Costello.
The trouble between Costello and
the city arose from the fact that
the city was made defendant in a
damage suit for $4,000 which, it is
said, was brought about by Costel-
los failure to erect barrier
around an obstruction In the street
which he was paving.
The city claimed that as 1t was
Costello's fault and that he should
pay the damage before getting any
more contracts.

air brake.
The tracks were INSTRUCTED all
night and at o'clock this morning
a large force of men were busily
engaged in making what the rail
road men term "shoo-fy,' trans
lated, meaning the building of an
other track around the wreckage.
The westbound train which left
here at o'clock last evening was
held over four hours, being unable
to get around the wreck.
The engine crew escaped with
slight bruises.
That the wreck was not more
serious is due to the slowneSs of
the freight. Had the westbound
flyer struck the spot first it is the
opinion of railroad men that the
casualties would have been heavy.
