SMALL RAILROAD WRECK.

A small railroad wreck occurred in
the yards in this city Sunday even,
ing just after dark. A train from the
east had a little work to do, aud
among other things to put up a car
Of coal for the coal shutes.
The engine went up and took the
empties out Of the house, leaving the
switch in the siding set ready to run
the loaded car up. The crew then
went over to the south siding to get
a load. The engine was pushing the
car SO that the engineer had no
chance to see how the switch was
turned. The result was the engine
and coal car ran up the north siding
into a couple Of cattle cars, knock
ing the cars off the trucks and onto
the ground at the side Of the track.
The engine then started e. back out
aud struck a half switch, or one rail
operated by the ordinary switch
standard, This rail, the outside, in
some way, had been moved ia far
enough to catch the Hange Of the
wheels on the center Of the rail with
the result that tender aud engine
derailed. The two cattle cars
were considerably damaged, but the
engine was in serviceable condition
as soon as placed on the rails.
The railroad employees think the
switches were changed by some ma
licious individual. The time elaps-
ing between backing out with the
empty car and starting ia with the
load of coal could not have been
more than two or three minutes.
There was no reason for throwing
the switch for the protection OF Il 9
main line as the switch in question
is located inside the yard and opens
from the north siding. As to the
one rail switch, or whatever it may
be called in railroad parlance, there
was no occasion to move it at all,
either going in or backing out. The
fact that both we're ont of place
looks suspicious. Again, it was only
