Ihave recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to many people," said Mrs.

family. There are three of US who have
nc doubt about their merits. We do not

how we'll they deserve praise.
at was just about ten years ago that
I first read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and bought my first box. Twas at
that time all run down, weak,
and without ambition. I hid been doc
toring all summer for malaria and
stomach trouble. Everybody thought l
was going into consumption, as my
mother had died of that disease.
"Thanks to DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
am now alive and hearty. I began to
improve as soon as I began to take them,
and when I had taken three boxes l wasa
well woman Everyone wonders how l
keep 80 well and nm able to care for my
home and six chil.sren without help.
DR.. Williams PINK Pills explain it.
"My oldest girls health began to fail
when she was aboat fourteen. She was
nervous, con- plaiaed of sharp pains in
her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh
air to revive her. Igave some pills to her:
She took only few boxes, but they cured
her troubles. and caused her to develop
into a perfect picture of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
you see we have all got great good from
using them, and that is why we recon-
mend them to Others" &,

Fire Narrowly Averted.

"A keg of tar, which was being
used on the root of the new Down
ing block, caught fire about 10
o'clock Tuesday morning from the
flames of gasoline stove that was
being used to heat the tar. For
few minutes 1t looked as though the
building was doomed, and the pres
ence of mind of VIM. Pendry is
probably all that saved the town
from another disastrous fire. While
other men were yelling for water,
Mr.. Pendry quickly realized that the
only way to stop the blaze was to
smother it and this he did by throw
ing on part of barrel of -four
asbestos which had been left up
there to be used in finishing up the
roof and for which work the tar was
being heated. Only slight damage
was done to the roof.

lision and personally superlntended
the clearing Of the wreckage. 1t
kept the wrecker and large force
of men busy until 10 O'Clock Tuesday
morning clearing the wreck and
getting the track in shape so that
trains could pass.
The loss to the railroad company
will amount to about 1875, 900.
1t seems to never fail that when
railroad has one wreck, two more
follow in close succession. The
Short Line has now had three with
in month. The first one was near
Weiser on Sept. 90, the second one
at Border on Oct. % and the third
one in the Pocatello yards on Oct.
"a. A rather strange thing in con-
nection with the last mixup was,
that the cars which escaped being
wrecked in train No. SIS, at Border,
were in train No. %, which collided
with switch engine III the Poca-
tello yards Tuesday evening. The
damage IN the last wreck was slight.
Both engines, however, were de-
rallied and the track Was blocked for
about 2 hours.
One of the wrecked cars was load
ed mostly with whiskey, and lots of
s'good booze" went to waste. A
few gallons was also absorbed by
the Japs and other men engaged in
clearing the wreck Monday.
Drs. Poynter and King were
taken to the wreck on special,
which left here about o'clock
Monday morning, and rendered such
assistance as was necessary TO the
injured men.
The wreck, near McCammon, in
which Engineer Purtill and Fire
man Spldell lost their lives, oc-
Cured on October %, 19Ol-four
years ago last Sunday.
The fact that the loaded battle
ships were in the head end of train
No. 55, is probably all that saved
the entire train from being ditched.
Misfortunes never come singly.
Cornwall, the dispatcher who was
responsible for the wreck, was mar
ried only few weeks ago.
Mr.. Rossett, one of the injured
men, has a brother living in San
Francisco, but he doesn't know his
address.
Engineer Case's pocket book, con-
tainlng about 1876, is somewhere
under the wreckage.
1t was the worst wreck that has
occurred on this section of the road
for a good many years.
The 966, while pretty badly dis
figured, can be rebuilt at the Poca-
tello shops.

the shops here.

rallied box cars, Ii IN number, were
loaded with merchandise Of various
kinds and the contents were strewn
over considerable territory.
One of the cars, between the first
and second "buckle" IN the train,
was occupied by man with his EN-
igrant outfit, going to Oregon In
the car was a COW, chickens, pigs,
household goods and farming imple-
ments. Nothing in the car was in
jured, and the jar of the collision
did not even awaken the man, who
was asleep.
The tender of engine 973 was de-
ralled, but the engine itself re-
mained on the track. 1t was forced
back into two cars of wheat. These
cars were wrecked and the wheat
scattered over the ground. The
balance of the extra train was COM
posed of empty coal cars and none
of these left the track.
G. Rossett and R. Smith, two men
who were stealing ride in one of
the battleships on No. 55, were SER
iously injured. One had three ribs
broken, injured internally and
bruised about the body. The other
one had nearly all his teeth knocked
out, his cheek bone broken and his
head and body badly bruised.
A le-year-old boy, tramp boot
black, who was on the extra was
slightly cut about the head.
The two injured men were brought
here Monday morning and are now
being cared for by the county.
The collision was caused by a
blunder on the part OF Dispatcher
Cornwall at Kemmerer. The second
trick man, who went off duty at IL
o'clock Sunday night, had given No.
SIS time schedule. The crew of
the extra train was also given copies
of this schedule, which provided
that 55 should leave Border at 1925

meet train there they did not stop
When Dispatcher Cornwall annuled
the time schedule for So, he oyer
looked the fact that the east bound

A HEAD-END COLLISION.
Two Freight Trains Came Together
Near Border Monday Morning
bad Mix-up but No One
Killed.

AT l:o5 last Monday morning
west bound freight train No. SO in
charge of Conductor Arthur Huff,
collided with an extra east bound
freight in charge of Conductor
Kelly, on curve three-fourths of a
mile west of Border station. En-
glneer Lee Case, with engine 966,
was pulling No. SIS and Gene Bourne
with engine 973, was pulling the
extra No. 55 was running at the
rate of about 25 miles an hour, but
as the extra expected to pull in on
the siding at Border to let 55 pass,
it was not running over Is miles an
hour, when Engineer Bourne first
caught glimpse at 55's headlight.
He applied the air, reversed the
lever and he and mis- fireman, Jim
Ryan, left the engine, neither Of
them receiving any injuries.
The track curves there in such a
manner that Engineer Case could
not see the approaching train until
he was almost upon it. He was the
first to see the danger and yelled 20
his fireman, E. Dumolt, ard Brake
man Hazeltine, who was in the cab,
to jump. Case applied the air and
lost no time himself in getting out
of the ca. After alightlng on the
ground he fell headlong and his face
and forehead were slightly scratched.
Fireman Dumolt's injuries were a
little more severe. Besides being
scratched about the face he also re-
ceived bad cut on the head, but
his injuries will only lay him up
for short time. Brakeman Hazel
tine escaped with only a sprained
ankle. Had they remained in the
cab five seconds longer, Engineer
Case says that all of them would
have been caught in the crash. That
they escaped, as it was, without
more serious injury, Is mystery.
When the crash came engine 96e
reared up IN the air and fell on its
left side. There were six or eight
battleships, loaded with coal, direct
ly behind the engine and these were
piled up in promiscuously twisted
shapes. One, straight steel coal
car, was bent double. The next
four or FIVE cars, loaded with mer-
chandise remained on the track, but
then came a s.buckle" IN the train
and number of cars were telescoped
in about as bad mess as one could
imagine. The next five or six cars
withstood the force of the collision
and then there was another .sbuckle''
In which several more ears were re-
dnced to kindling wood. The de-
