VERDICT OF JURY
Holds Rio Grande Railroad Re-
sponsibIe for tho Eden Catas-
trophe Where Hundred
Lives Were Lost

The coroner's jury sitting in the
Eden railroad disaster case holds the
ID. &R G. railroad responsible for the
catastrophe attended by such fright
full loss of life, it summing up its
verdict by indicting the railroad on
ten counts.
The wreck occurred at Eden, a
small station on the Rio Grande
several miles north Of Pueblo, about
s:l5 o'clock on the nieht of August
7. 1904. The south bound passenger
train broke through the bridge over
the arroyo and plunged into the
raging torrent below where LOO
human beings lost their lives, the
bodies Of 90 having been recovered
and 8 are yet to be found, while it ii
thought that upward Of a dozen are
still missing and are supposed to have
been lost in the flood.
After sitting in the case for tw'
weeks the coroner's jury brought IL
q verdict against the railroad com
psny, based upon the ground that tn
bridge was weak and Of inferior make
that there should have been q trsc
walker out, that that part OF the roa
should have been in charge of
section gang with headquarters neal
by. and that the bridge should be a
in one span so as to reach across th
arroyo.
The attorneys for the Rio Grand
will make . point Of the fact that tt
county bridge above the railroa
bridge went QUO first and, lodgin
against the latter bridge, did mue
toward assisting In forcing it of il
supports. They will also claim tn
IL disaster was the "act of God"

A Good Suggestion

1t has been suggested by several
citizens that the poles be removed
from the paving district and placed
in the alleys in order to add to the
general good appearance of the
street. This would be splendid
thing if the companies would only
agree to make this change in their
frsnchise. OF course the trolly poles
would have to remain, but the others

The Grange and Good Roads.
National Grange

NdtiOHdi GTdHSe. F.N'
Office of Legislative Committee,
February 5, 1904.
To members of the Grange throughout
the l1nite1 States: !
1t seems proper to make a statement
in regard TO the status of the good
roads legislation in Congress. AS pre-
viously reported the Legislative COM
mittee of the National Grange pre-
pared a bill providing for National aid
to road building which was introduced
by Congressman Clrrier. and has been
printed and widely circulated.
On February 2, d conference was
held between Congressman Currier.
Congressman Brownlow y and Senator
Latimer, who had also introduced bills
upon the subject, which conference re-
suited in an agreement upon the mat:
ter and the preparation 90 a bill which,
all are to support. This bill has been
introduced in the House by Congress-
man Currier, and also In the Senate y
by member of that body. It is highly
complimentary to the members of the !.
Grange that the bill thus agreed upon
is practically the grange bill. In fact
it differs from it only in a very minor
IilitttI, anu IL " De given pTtCeuoiS0
, in both branches of Congress over all
other road bills. This bill should have E
the enthusiastic support of tire MEM
bers of the Grange and the farmers in
all sections of the country. 1t carries
an appropriation of twenty four million
dollars, available in 1908. 1906 and l9Oi
to be, distributed among the several
states and territories in proportion to
population where a similar amount Tor
similar purpose is appropriated.
This seems to be the opportune time
for the Grange to make it's influence
felt in a manner of great importance
to the farmers. Letters and petitions
to Congressman and Senators should
be forwarded at once urging the pas
sage Of this bill, which, as we have said'
is practically the Grange bill. Action
should be prompt, vigorous and specl-
flc. and followed up with subsequent
appeals If circumstances seem to make
1t necessary. Do not delay, for this Is
a matter Of great Importance.
