Bad Wreck Occurs on the Choctaw
Near BRIDGEPORT.

Il Reno, O. T., March S.-The west
bound passenger train on the Choctaw
was wrecked yesterday By running into
a burning culvert near Bridgeport. The
engineer and mailing clerk were both
fatally injured. The American gives the
following account of the disaster;
The prairie fires have been burning for
the past two days between Bridgeport
and Geary. and the flames finally reach
ed the railroad track A long string Of
fence was consumed. and the burning
grass, dry as finder. led the flames TO the
sbutments of a culvert. about ten feet
wide, and about eight feet in depth. A
short time and all the wood work was
burned, and the iron rail supported
themselves across the tiny gulch. Pas
senger train No. /. came along running
at a rate OF abount Is miles an hour, and
was on and into the culvert before it was
noticed that the support was gone. The
engine, on account Of it's length. and all
of the cars with the exception of the last
coach. cleared the hole but with the
trucks off the track on the other side
The platform of each car were entirely
broken of. and the trucks torn from the
bottoms: The engineer saw his predica-
ment when il was too late and jumped
and the fireman grabbed the lever and
reversed the engine. The engineer had
his right arm broken, and his hip disIo-
Gated; TIE mail clerk sustained serious
and probably fatal injuries in his back
and limbs, and one passenger was hurt
badly internally. out side of d number
Of bruises and cuts, no other passengers
were seriously hurt.
The passenger coaches, baggage coach
and mail car were all left standing on
a trestle thirty feet high, and it was
miracle that they did not plunge over
and down into the canon below. The
trucks. when they left the rails tore and
twisted the ties with terrific force, but
the cars settled down on the trestle as it
suspended by some unseen power. The
injured ones were taken on a special
train back TO Geary and placed in the
hospital and reports from them late last
night were to the effect that the engi-
neer and mail clerk would both probably
die from their injuries.
Trains on each side Of the wreck were
running yesterday afternoon. and made
connections with each other at the scene.
The mails were brought into FL Reno on
the Oklahoma City train which continued
on TO the place of the disaster instead of
here as usual.
