RAILROAD LANDS.

A recent Omaha dispatch statas
that the Southern Pacific is contem-
plating following the same plan which
was adopted by Jas. Hill in the
northwest two years ago with such
gratifying results, namely, after patent
ing the lands TO open them for sale at
nomiral rates or give them away for
colonizing purposes. Mr.. Hartman
believes that the railroad would receive
more benefit from a rapid settlement
Of the land and the freight and passen-
ger traffic which the new population
would bring TO the line, than from hold
ing the land for an indefinite period in

THE WRECK.
No. Six and Work Train Col
Tide Near Palisade Account
Defective Signal Lantern.

Another bad wreck on the main line
east, il which the second section of
No. 8 and a work train met in a head
on collision. occurred Tuesday night
about 8 o'clock, at point krown as
the out, two miles west of PaIisade.
Three men, Dave King, white, and two
Japanese laborers we're killed and sew
eral other persons slightly injured.
The accident is said TO have been
caused by the signal lanterns on the
front Of the engine of the irst section
Of No. 6 going out. These lights we're
carried to signify that another section
Of the train was following close to the
first
Engineer Dad" Crane did not know
the lights we're out; his train, the first
section af No. 6, passed the west bound
work train, which was standing on a
side track near the scene of the wreck.
Conductor sam Denton, of the work
train. seeing no signals displayed, which
would have informed him that the SEC
ond section was coming, ordered Eng :
n er Peters to 60 ahead.
The worked train pulled out on the
main line and the second section Of
No. s crashed into it. Frank Hamp-
ion was the engineer, Tom May fire
man. and DAME Calden conductor
Tom May was injured slightly by jump
ing and landing on his right side,
Hampton was not hurt.
Their. must be scapegoat and Engl-
neer Crane was discharged. The fault
does not lay with the engineer but with
the defective signal lanterns, as every
railroad man nov knows that engineers
particularly on passenger trains have to
watch those lanterns all the time, look
at them at every stopping place, and
frequently have to relight them three
and four times during trip. They
will not stay lighted on fast run.
One thing is sure If the lantern
defects are not remedied there will be
more accidents from the same cause
and more lives and property will be
sacrificed.
