No, bud, you are wrong. The man

Special to Denver Post.
Salida, Colo, Nov. 25.-Engineer
Milton II. Blount of Minturn is the
hero of the Western division of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad, and he
is bearing the honor with modesty.
Blount, at 7:15 O'Clock Wednesday
night saved westbound passenger train
No. 1, known as the Denver and Ogden
express, from being wrecked at Cor
don siding, twenty five miles west of
Buena Vista. Had Blount not thought
rapidly or had his judgment erred at a
critical moment, the flyer would have
plunged into the ditch and been
wrecked. The express was bowling
along at forty miles an hour and the
loss of life, the train being heavily Ia
den with passengers, would surely
have been appalling.
HE WAS SCARED.
sit was nothing" said Engineer
Blount, as he stepped from his engine
in the local railroad yards this morn
ing, "but was scared for few sec
onds and thought felt my hair turn
ing white. For just one second l was
undecided how to act, but fortunately
did the right thing at the right time
and the express sped on without a
person on board knowing at the time
the very close call they had from be-
ing in bad wreck"
The story of an attempt to wreck
the train and how that which seemed
for a few brief seconds would be ter
rible castrophe, is best told in Engi-
neer Blount's own words:
81 run helper engine No. 912 from
Minturn to the top of Tennessee pass,
but last Wednesday snapped tricks

freight because he wanted to remain
in Minturn a couple of days to attend
big ball there.
SWITCH LIGHT OUT.

Gordon and when 1 jumped from tbn

east end of the siding was not burning.
This was unusual for SO early in the
night and picked up a lantern and
hurried to the switch to investigate.

Killed a Big Buck .

Today Mr.. Willard Johnson and an
other gentleman, whose name we did
not learn, came in from the river and
had with them large buck, killed this
morning. 1t weighed more than 100
pounds, and had a beautiful set of
horns.

.'When 1 reached the swith found
it open and left in such q manner that
the express would be ditehed when it
reached that point. 1t was dark, but
by the aid of my lantern l discovered
two stones, one between the regular
rail and the split rail and the other

al tried to dislodge the rocks, but
found they we're fast, and no amount
OF jerking on the switch would loosen
them. No. was already in sight and
became scared. 1 thought of sig
mailing the passenger to stop with my
lantern, but the distance was too short
for that. Then Jumped to the rails
again and just managed to kick the
rocks out, jump back to the lever and
throw the switch. No. was within a
rails length when threw the lever.

dashed by.
MADE INVESTIGATION.
"After No. 1 was out of sight, myself,
Conductor E. n. Earl of the freight
and other members of the crew started
an investigation. The switch was I'M
locked, but who is responsible for this
we could not find out. The switch
was all right twenty-five minutes be-
fore the express was due, as light
engine passed over in safety.
"If it was plot to wreck the pas
senger for booty, the train robbers
evidently saw their game was up when
the freight pulled into the siding,
something, probably, they had not ex-
pected. We could find no strange per-
SONS in the vicinity, but it would be an
easy matter to escape detection in that
locality"

Rio Grande are making rigid investi-
CATION into the affair.
