Vandalia Locomotives, Coupled To-
gether, Leave the Rails mt the
Kentucky-AvenueC Crossing.
ED GAUGHAN BADLY MANGLED
JOHN link. FRED HARRIS, TONY
GAUGHAN AND OTHERS HURT.
Eyewitnesses to the Accident Vary in
Statements of the Probable Cause
Dangerous Curve.

One man was fatally injured and three
men badly hurt in railroad wreck on
the Vandalia line about fifty feet south
of Merrill street and Kentucky avenue, at
900 last night.
Ed Gaughan, boarding at sis South West
street, suffered a fracture of the left leg
and internal injuries which will probably
result in his death. He was removed TO st.
Vincent's Hospital. John link, living at
554 West Thirteenth street, was hurt about
the head and body by flying timbers and
escaping steam: carriage took him home
Tony Gaughan received painful injuries
about his legs and was removed to his
home, at 514 South West street. Fred
Harris, of 81 East Raymond street, was
injured by flying timbers and was taken
home.
JUMPED THE TRACK.
AS engine No. 1876 in charge of Engineer
John link and Fireman E. Gaughan. was
drawing a heavily loaded freight train made
up of forty. or fifty cars around the curve
on the switch which leads from the Ma
tional Starch Works plant to the main
track it stuck on account of the steep
grade. Engine No Is, in charge of Tony"
Gaughan, engineer, and Fireman Fred Har-
ris. was sent TO pull the train up the grade
on to the main track. While rounding the
curve at a high rate of speed, No. IS
jumped the track, pulling No. 1876 which
was a very much lighter engine, with it,
Both engines were thrown at right angles
with the track and No. Is turned COM
pletely over. No. 1i6 plowed its way ten
feet into the bank on the east side of the
track, and escaping steam tore a hole in
the ground six feet Ions and one foot deep
Ed Gaughan was caught between the two
engines and his body was badly crushed
and mangled. large crowd soon gathered
and administered to the injured men until
the arrival of the ambulance.
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT.
Eye-witnesses vary as to the cause of the
accident; some say that the switch is in a
bad state of repair and that the rails
spread, causing the wheels of the engines
to strike the cross-ties; others say that
on account of the high speed which must
be attained in order to ascend the grade
No. Is could not hold the rails. One train
man said that he had often seen engines
attain a speed of forty miles an hour in
rounding this curve. About three months
ago there was a derailment of a similar
nature in the vicinity of the accident last
night. 1t is considered very remarkable
by the trainmen that no one was killed in
stantly last night, and the only thing that
saved the men was the fact that they
jumped. The Panhandle wrecking crew
cleared up the wreckage and traffic was re-
sumed after having been blocked for sew
eral hours.

AWOKE TO LOVE.
Perry G. Smith Took a Nap Train
and Is Now Married.

When Perry c. Smith, of this city, went
to Chicago about seven weeks ago he little
thought that he was going to meet his
prospective wife on the train. And little
did Miss Annabel Mitchell. of Rochester.
Ind, think that she was sitting down be-
side her future husband when she sat down
on the seat beside Mr.. Smith on the train.
Such. however, was the case. and the two
were married yesterday by the Rev. J. n.
Garfield, OF the Bismarck-avenu Christian
Church. At the time that Miss Mitchell
sat down beside him Mr. Smith was asleep,
but when he awoke he was taken with
the pretty young woman that he began TO
talk to her. Soon their acquaintance
ripened into friendship, and soon into love.
Mr.. Smith is manager of the Smith Cream
Separating Company, of this city. After a
short Eastern tour the couple will make
their home in Indianapolis.

1t was reported the latter part
of the week, that a man had been
killed by being knocked from the
platform of the train, by bridge
column, just north of Chickasha.
Later reports state that the dead
man was l.. p. Terrell, aged 53,
of Harrison O. T., who was on
his way home from a business
trip to FL Reno. He was slightly
intoxicated, and persisted in
leaning from the platform, in
spite of tho repeated warnings of
the train men. He leaves a wife
and three children.
DR.. X erley wears proud, be-
nign expression today all account
of a little son and heir who took
up his residence at the doctors
home last night Feb. 2. While
the young man will probably not
agree with us in regard to poll
tics he will certainly share our
opinion that Anadarko is a good
place to live, and that DR.. Kerley
is one of her best citizens.
Joe Smith of the firm Smith &
Beall, has demonstrated his faith
in the future of Anadarko, by
letting the contract for a two
story, eight room modern resi-
dence, to be built on his lots on
east Broadway. This is a splen-
did location for a home, and we
congratulate Mr.. Smith upon this
evidence of good business judge
ment. Mr.. T. c. Coup is the ar
chitect, and work will begin at
once.
If there is any chance at all to
get another railroad here, it is
the duty of the business men and
property owners to push the prop
osition until something material
ICES. Any connection, with an
other line of railway, would prove
highly beneficial and satisfactory
to the citiz9ns, ard profitable to
property owners, as it would, in
addition to lowering the freight
rates, add value TO the proper
ty of the city and increase our
Importance as a trading point.

The OLD FIRE HORSE.
Pathetic Ending 20 His brilliant and

he was yanked 20 a halt eyeB two

Sometimes he would crane his neck
and look mournfully around at the un-

cry. There would come into his great
eyes look Of such pitiful melancholy
that one might almost fancy tears roll

an exasperated driver, who jerked cru

II II had been a fail.
To another horse, unused TO anything
better, the life would not have seemed
hard. But TO Silver, accustomed TO
such little amenities as friendly pats
from men, and the comradeship OF his
fe low workers, II was like bad
dream. Had he not lost his caster Ex-
