DISASTROUS WRECK WAS NEAR.
Engineers Presence Of Mind Saves
Bad Accident Near Fairfield,

Fairfield, July 25.--The Ell Paso
passenger train, No 80. with engine
No. 2S5 on the Rock Island road, went
into the ditch a mile north of here just
after she had whistled for Fairfield.
The train was running at it's usual
speed, and when it crossed the road
north of here the tender jumped the
track. This took with it several of the
passenger coaches. including the din
ing car and a Pullman.
The engineer, who ran his train for
more than quarter of a mile after a
large portion of the train was off the
track, did so because he was coming
down a steep incline and at an en-
banlSment that was fully sixty feet
deep, and had he stopped there the mo-
mentum of the train would no doubt
have thrown the cars to the bottom.
AS it was no one was injured, al
tho everyone was badly shaken
up. In the diner many dishes were
broken The track, which formerly laid
in sand with no ballast to make 1t
solid, is in a badly torn condition, and
it will be many hours before traffic
can be resumed. The track is in such a
condition that no train can reach the
two cars diner and Pullman, until the
track is relaid. In the meantime the
balance of the train is now in the
Yards.
