Freiaht Train Derailed.

The Roseburg Plaindesler has the
following account of Sundays train
wreck:
Early Sunday morning as the north
bound freight train, Frank Anderson. en-
gineer and Harry Gilvin, conductor, was
rounding short curve at the north end
OF Round Prairie, a short distance north
OF Ruckles station, the inside rail turned
over resulting IN fifteen freight cars
leaving the track. Fortunately the
train was running slow and was stopped
before any OF the cars were ditched OF
even left the ties. 1t is also stated. that
the train remained intact not a single
drawhead being broken. The derail'
ment occurred at point where the
roadbed is considerably elevated and
had the train been ditched serious
destruction to the property would have
resulted. As it was, some little time
was required by the wrecking crew sen,
out from this place to get the derailed
cars back on the track again. The
mornings south bound overland wal
detained at this place until about 4 80
p. m, while the northbound local No
IL, due here at about 10 80 a. M, die
not arrive here until :2S p. m. beini
held at Riddle while the track wa
being cleared
1t was very singular accident anC
fortunate on account Of the sligh
damage resulting.
