HEAD-EEO COLLISION AT AGATE.

Engineer Morris Unable to Control Train by

gine 946, Engineer DAILY, and Rocky
Mountain Limited No. Il, engine so,
Engineer Morris, collided at Agate, Colo.
on Union Pacific track at II:IT p. ID.
Tuesday Engineer Daily reported bad
ly injured.
Agate, the place of the wreck, is q
station on the Union Pacific track about
. miles west Of LimOn. The station is
located at the foot of a hill declining
west, and at the bottom of this grade
on the main track was train No. A in
charge Of Engineer Daily and Conductor
Lustig. waiting for the Rocky Mountain
Limited. with Engineer Morris and Con
ducbor Converse. No. A had been wait
ing about ten minutes when the blaze
Of the headlight on the Rocky Noun
tain Limited appeared at the top Of the
hill and the train came laundering
down so fast that Engineer DAILY quick
y suspiciOned that il would shoot hard
past the siding Three screeches from
the approaching engine-a signal TO
back up-told the tale. He reversed
his engine and had the train moving
slowly backward when the crash came.
His fireman and the crew. Of the other
engine jumped, but DAILY remained in
his perilous position and sustained ser
ious injuries.
1t was first reported that Fireman
Sisty was pinned in under the tank
of engine 946. but later details dis
proved it. A tramp riding on the tank
was caught In the collision and got his
leg broken. No other injuries are re-
ported.
The wreck was caused by the failure
of the air in the engine pulling Al. There
was no mistake or violation Of orders.
Morris knew he was to meet No. A at
Agate and knew that he was to take the
siding there but when he went 70 use
the air at the crest Of the hill it would
not work. The momentum of the train
was too great TO be influenced by hand
brakes for so short a distance and the
collision was inevitable.
The runaway train was running at
high speed and the force of the collision
tore OF the pilots Of both engines, de-
mOlished the cabs. stripped the front
ends Of the engines Of all their rods and
light frame work. Thev did not leave
the track, but were rendered helpless
and engines went out from Limon to
clear the track. Passenger train No. A,
eastbOund-which becomes No. 8 east
of LimOn-passed through GOodland

considerably damaged, the font end of

carrying Cheyenne county in the same
provisions. Several other counties
wanted to get IN on this same fence law
but were shut out for fear that too many
riders would block the passage Of the
bill This is a wise law and has the IN
qualified endorsement Of the great ma
jority Of the people concerned.
It also puts at ease the anxiety felt by
business men and small ranchers be
cause it practically calls a halt on large
corporations who desire to buy up large
tracts Of land, put it under a continuous
fence and turn in cattle by the thOus-
ands, the end Of which would work to
the exclusion of the small owner and
shut out the growing interests Of the
merchants and business men.
E. J. Scott has furnished TINS paper
with a transcript Of the bill which is

the signatures and publication clause:

A Train Load Fed at Depot Hotel sunday
Make Entertainment for the Girls.

A Train Load Fed at Depot Hotel Sunday
Make Entertainments for the Girls.
A special train loaded with 400 ma
rines enroute east stopped for supper at
the Depot hotel Sunday. They were q
part Of the First regiment Of the United
States Marine corps, under command Of
Mai. Moses, and were on their way to
New York City where they will be
mustered out, having served the time Of
their enlistment. They were fresh from
the far east having been on United
States ships in Chinese waters during
the boxer troubles.
American like, these marines had been
very observing OF the people, customs
and things in general and every one of
them, besides having filed his knapsack
with curiOs from China, japan and the
Philippines, was a walking encyclo-
paedia Of curious information-just the
article and the thing itself that takes
with the lively girl.
Aud 50 these marines were hale fel-
lows well met by a crowd Of GOodland
maidens- The report that a train load
Of Uncle Sans gallant soldiers would ar
rive in GoOdland Sunday evening was
nOised about among them and when
the special pulled 10 sure enough the
marines were met by the "wynken, ,blynk-
en- and noddin" of young calico and
broad grimaces. The girls were crowded
close together at first and looked much
like a variegated flower garden, but 1t
didn't take them long to scatter and
freeze on TO the fellows. The soldiers were
gentlemanly in their bearing and pro-
fOundly generous, for the girls packed
away large quantities Of their curios
and even some Of their necessary wear
ing apparel-Une girl walked OF with
a large, brass buttoned, navy blue cape.
But most Of them were after more pre-
ciOus articles put up IN smaller pack
ages. Nicely executed opium pipes, sill
yer spoons, foreign coins, brass buttons,
ETC., were largely in evidence after the
train had pulled out and the maidens
began to show their wares. But moro
secret and witching than ali was what
many Of the girls had in her carefully
guarded purse or hand bag-her he
rOe's pOstOffice address which she dreams
may yet be the golden key that shall I'D
lock the portals of romance and felicity.

This bill was written in duplicate by B.

change whatever. The house substituted
bill No. S57, and that is the bill which has

ly in its failure to provide a penalty for
