from serious injury this morning. He
was unloading wood from car into a
wagon. A push engine coming from
the east frightened the team and they
backed the wagon so that a portion Of

wheel demolished. Holmes escaped
without scratch. He succeeded in

back the wagon some more before it
was struck, as the result would un-
doubtedly have been disastrous for
him.

Freixbt Wreck.

C6eJxUt WICK,
The North Coast Limited from the
east was four hours late last evening
owing to q serious wreck at Frazee,
Mimi, in which two freight trains
collided head on. 1t appears that the
freight trains, one east bound and the
other west bound, had received orders
to meet in Frazee. The east bound
train was in on the siding waiting for
the arrival of the west bound freight,
which was to meet there. The brake
man, whose duty it was to throw the
switch, after the train had passed,
threw it before the train arrived, al.
lowing the west bound train to crash
into the one standing on the siding.
It was reported that the brakeman
was "greeny, " and that this was his
second trip over the road, and 1t is
supposed be became excited as the time
Of the approaching meeting between
the two trains advanced. 1t is said
that fifteen car loads of merchandise

and that one Of the engines is entirely
stripped of the cab and running gear,
and that the boiler was laying directly
across the tracks.
The trainmen escaped uninjure1.

Wrecked.

Engine No. 472 was derailed this.
morning in the yards while going at a.
slow rate Of speed and it required
several hours of work to get it back on
the track again. 1t remained stand
ing after being derailed. The steam
crane arrived this morning from the
east from Magnolia where it had been
in use picking up the freight wreck,
and was used to good advantage i'm
getting 472 back on the track. The
drivers on one side of the derailed en-
gine had sunk far into the earth and
it was a difficult matter to get the
heavy machine back on the track.
The accident resulted from the switch
being thrown in front of the engine,
which was pulling out with a heavy
freight. The engine wrecked at
Magnolia is still in the ditch and the.
crane will be sent east to pick it up
Most of the wreck has been disposed
OF. Three box cars derailed in the;
yards at the same time as the engine,
were put on the track again with lit
tie difficulty. The switch is said to-
have been turned by new man who
did not understand that it was in the
proper position before he touched it.
