TEMPORARY TRACK AROUND THE
LANDSLIDE PERMITS PAS
SAGE OF TRAINS SINCE
LAST MIDNIGHT.
Blockade at Different Points Relieved
and Traffic Is Settling Down to Its
Normal Condition-Several Trains
In Both Directions During Day and
Noon Train Almost on Time
Fine Horses in Embargo.

The embargo caused by the land
slide at Edison tunnel was raised last
night at 1925, train No. 3 passing over
the temporary track built around the
landslide, and since that time trains
have been running at frequent inter-
walls. A dozen trains passed here to-
day, some bound in one direction and
some in another. There were three
sections of No. 10 this morning from
the west, No. 2 and No. 6. The first
section of No. 10 came at 7:10 a. m,
the second section ten minutes later,
No. 2 at 1880, the third section of No.
were two sections of No. 4, the first
one only forty minutes behind time.
Nos. 8, 5, l and 9 went west last night,
going over the cutoff.
Dispatcher Daley and his men ex-
pected to return to Cheyenne on the
noon train today, but did not get
away, and will probably go tonight,
the repairing Of the lines between this
city and Cheyenne and the opening of
the track west having relieved the
strain somewhat.
The last of the mail and express
was transferred by wagons yesterday
afternoon, and the teams were dis
charged and returned today, Mr..
Winslow's outfit arriving in this city
this afternoon. There was a very seri-
Gus condition of the road late in the
afternoon, the wet weather and the
constant teaming rendering the roads
in places almost impossible.
1t is now believed that no further
delay will be experienced, and that by
train service will have be-
come normal again. Heavy freight
trains were sent west from here dur
ing the forenoon, many Of the crews
placed again On the road and the con-
condition of the yards at differ
ent points relieved to a considerable
One of the peculiar cases of the eff
feet of the landslide was the presence
here of a gentleman named Collister
of GAINESVILLE, Wis, who was en- route
to Salt Lake with five fine stations
direct from Scotland. The animals
were very high bred and Mr.. Collister
kept constant watch of them, feeding
them In their car and keeping all
draughts of air from them as carefully
he would from a sick child. The
high altitude affected the thin-blooded
animals, and they were bleeding at the
nose when the blockade was raised
and they were allowed to go forward.
Collister will get them through
without further delay, it is now be-
lieved.
There was little new in the wreck
Of the freight train learned today. The
engine was not greatly damaged by
the slide, but some of the cars were
badly smashed. The engine climbed
to the top of a part Of the a Of
rock and earth, but vas finally caught.
The new line required the replacing
Of three bridges, which took consid-
cradle time. The attention Of the
large force of men is today directed
to placing the temporary line in good
repair and the slide in the cut is re.
ceiving very little attention.

Page gazed out across the fields and
observed two things: that his mes
senger was returning alone and that
the men to whom he had been sent
seemed still to be at work. He turned
his attention back to the receding hay
the shorter hill, where it remained a
few moments outlined against the sky,
then sank out of sight. Not many min
utes later its place was taken by an
other object, an irregular dark back
ground and, surmounting all. an un-
mistakably human figure.
A second human figure presently de-
tached itself from the main bulk and
as the whole drew nearer Page was
able to see that the white was little
albino horse and the dark a piano
organ on wheels with an Italian man
perched on top, enjoying his ease, while
his wife accompanied him on foot.
Page watched with feelings of satisfac-
tion the approach of the outfit, which
he now recalled having met the day
before.
At sight of him the itinerants

+ patch OF woods: on the other was an
extent of cleared fields through which
ran railway track. Beyond this track
at a point looking to be about half a
mile distant, Page had noticed several
men at work moving grass. He was
meditating, as a last resort, making
his way to them I'm order to ask their
assistance, when there entered upon
the scene a small boy. He was not a
brilliant witted youth-quite the con-
trary-but by dint of much eXplana-
tion and persuasion reinforced with a
liberal display of loose change, he was
finally induced to do Pages errand
with the hay cutters.
For ten minutes or more Page
watched his retreating form till 1t dis
appeared over stone wall, and did
not reappear. Evidently the distance
to be traversed was greater than he
had supposed. If the men made no
better time coming than the boy had in
hour yet. While Page waited with as
philosophical a resignation as he could
muster, the rattle of approaching
wheels was heard again, and presently
a hay-rigging with two men in it came
along. Both men were of the rustic
type and coarsely dressed. The elder
was perhaps forty years of age, his
companion was hardly more than half
that. They looked strong and vigor-
Gus, and Page hoped rescue was in
sight at last. AS soon as the wagon
stopped, without giving the men a
chance to interrogate him, he told them
in few words what had happened,
and requested their help. To his i'm
mense disappointment, not to add dis
gust, the appeal was as fruitless as
any of the former ones had been.
I'm turribul sorry" said the elder
man, "but I couldn't lift finger for

Then he chuckled and caclxled over
his little joke till he brought on a
coughing fit from which Page feared he
might not come out alive. But just as
the young man was about to climb up
and pat the old one on the back as a
remedial measure the latter recovered
his breath and continued in weak,
husky whisper:

Yet once more the dismounted auto
mobilist caught sight of some one
coming down the hill. This time it was
and, so far as could be seen, he ap-
peared to be able-bodied. He paused
near the incapacitated car and gazed
at it. curiously Page allowed the sit
uation to speak for itself.

leisurely survey, "'most had a cap

grimace of irritated disappointment.
His pity for the mans infirmity was
wholly swallowed up in his own griev-
ance. He of the withered hand ling
cred yet awhile, propounding trouble
some questions and receiving short
answers, but unable to offer any sug-
gestions of value, then finally went his
way.
The next arrival was undoubtedly a
young man. He dawned upon Pages
vision at the brow of the hill and came
toward him pedaling vigorously on a
bicycle. Here at last must be relief.
In order that the opportunity might
not possibly escape, Page stationed
himself in the middle of the road and
raised his hand as a signal for the
bicyClist to stop. In due time he did
So and at the next moment put down
from his off side a crutch. Page felt
as if the proverbial feather would
knock him over when he perceived that
the poor fellow he had held up so i'm
periously was minus leg.
With a gesture half despair, half
apology, Page through out his hands
threw up his hands, perhaps, would
more correctly describe his action.
Il beg your pardon" he said.
The bicycle rider, poising himself by
aid of his crutch, shook his head as if
he saw what had been expected of him,
then made an inarticulate sound and
pointed Significantly to his mouth and
ears. Alas and alack! beside being a

The speakers wish, whatever it

sentence the colt made a sudden erratic
start danced over to the extreme oppo-
site side of the road, and then whirled
his load away at such a pace as soon
took 1t out of the neighborhood.
This unsatisfactory person had hard
ly disappeared around the moving
mountain of barrels at the top of the
incline, when a part at least of his
prediction was fulfilled. Sounds were
heard from the direction of the long
hill opposite, and Page saw that a sec
ond team was descending it toward
him. A whlte-haired man and an al
most equally white-haired child were
seated in a springboard drawn by
white horse.
Pages hope of getting succor sank
as the equipage approached the spot
where he was standing. The white
horse must have been "old enough to
