incidented by connecting up the va-

from the Artesian Well have altered
its looks and partially shorn it of It's

STRANGE INCIDENT
OF AWFUL WRECK
Half-DemOliShed Coal Car
Found in Center of Two
Passenger Trains.

A puzzling feature OF the wreck is
the fact that a half-demolished coal car
was found in the WreCkagc, whereas
the two trains in the collision were
composed exclusively of passenger
coaches. It is believed that the only
explanation for this is that some part
of the wrecked cars jumped from the
main track to a siding after the col
lision and literally scooped up the coal
car, carrying it back in a TemaTka BILE
