Joe O'Keefe has accepted a posi-
tion as brakeman. ..

A freight with a heavy load and
two engines had a narrow escape
from a serious wreck in going down
Dane hill between Baraboo and
Madison some days ago. A short
time before the train was due d
broken rail was discovered and be-
fore a new piece could be putin the
train was upon the scene. The two
locomotives passed over the broken
place but by this tim e the piece of
the rail was out of position and the
long line of freight cars went bob
bing over the place like a ''prairie
schooner" crossing a corduroy road
in pioneer days. Before the train
could be stopped all of the cars ex-
cept two had passed over the place
and fortunately none sof them left
the track.
