Fireman Wake, Killed In Wreck.

Santa Fe passenger train No. 6
was wrecked Monday morning
near Thatcher, a station on the
south end forty-six miles from La
]unta. The accident occurred
about 9:Io o'clock at point three
and one half miles east of Thatch-
er. The train was running at a
high rate of speed when the en-
gine jumped the track, and after
bouncing over the ties for about
three car lengths turned over on
its side. Fireman w. II. Walker
was almost instantly killed. En-
gineer Joseph Posi- was slightly
scalded on the LETT leg but escaped
serious injury by jumping. Two
baggage cars and one coach were
derailed, but none of the passen-
gers were injured.
The accident took place at a
slight curve on the main track and
1t will never be known just how it
was caused. When Engineer Posi-
felt the engine leave the track he
applied the emergency brake and
started to jump. Fireman Walker

but just as he did so the drawbar

Gaping steam. Engineer Posi- sue
ceeded in getting out of the en-
gine safely, but returned to the
cab Immediately after the accident.
| On account OF the escaping steam,
however, he could not remain but
for a moment. He caught hold OF
Walkers hand and tried to pull
him out but was unable to do So
When he spoke to him he saw his
hand stir and moment later felt
his lips move, but the fireman
made no sound, and was probably
unconscious from the first. The
body OF the dead fireman was re
| covered about an hour after the
accident. With the exception OF
a hole in the back OF the head
there were no bruises on the body.
A relief train and wrecker were
sent out at noon, returning TO this

DRIVING BY BREAK TO THE GOLF
CLUB

For several days past plan Of in
terest to golfers has been on foot. 1t
was suggested that some pleasant and
convenient way of reaching the Golf
Club, other than by the usual means
of transportation, might be arranged,
and, following up the idea, it was
proposed to engage the large break
which accommodates twenty or more,
and form a sort OF club among the
members desiring to use it. Tickets
would be sold. and the break would
leave from some given point In the
city, probably the De Soto, every aft
ternoon at a certain hour, returning at
a fixed hour in the evening, after the
game was over. Some objections to
the scheme have been offered. such as
the difficulty of reaching the starting
point, which could not be as generally
convenient as the car line, and the ne
cessity Of being ready to go out and
return at fixed hour. agreeable to
everyone. On the other hand, it's pro-
jectors give many very evident argu-
ments in its favor; economy, the pleas
ure of the drive. the congenial society
of golfers on the way and the COM
Portable mode of travel. 1t is likely
that some such plan will shortly be put
into execution.
