SHERMAN BROWNS CAR RUN
DOWN WHILE STALLED ON

Party Loses Considerable Wearing APP
pared and Jewelry, But Return to
Denver and Place Order for Anoth-
er Car-En Route to Wyoming on
a Pleasure Trip.

Readers of The Republican will re
member reference a short time ago tc
the presence in the city Of DR.. Sher
man Brown of Denver and his splendid
Thomas touring car, the doctor taking
a party Of friends up the river on q
fishing trip. The following from yes
terday's Denver Post tells OF the de
%struction of the car east of Cheyenne:
Escaped a Horrible Death.
Leaping for their lives, Dr.. n Mrs
Sherman T. Brown and DR.. and Mrs
f. E.. Neres saved themselves from a
horrible death yesterday afternoon at
Num-, Colo, thirty-four miles this side
of Cheyenne, Wyo., when they were
run down by a Union Pacific train go,
ing at the rate of sixty-fve miles an
hour.
Quicker than a flash the $4,000 Thorn.
as flyer belonging to DR.. Brown was re,
duced to a pile of scrap, and every
stitch of extra clothing carried by the
party was destroyed, together with
So, 900 worth Of jewelry and over $500
in money,
Blame the Engineer.
The accident, according to the ply.
s~icians, was a deliberate piece of bus,
mess on the part of the engineer of the
Union Pacific train, which left Chey-
enne for Denver at $3.50 o'clock, just
a short time previous to the accident,
for he saw the predicament of the par,
jty, and after he had struck the ma
chine, he stopped his train inside of
it's own length.
The party left Denver yesterday for
a weeks outing in Wyoming.
Having No Trouble.
Everything was going fine" said
DR.. Neres. THE engine and all the
parts of the machine were giving us
no trouble whatever, and we had ev-
cry prospect of a perfect trip. We
stopped a while at Greeley, and then
proceed on our journey.
According to directions, we took a
new road and came to the Union Pa
ciic railroad tracks 1t Num-. There
was no crossing device between
the railroad tracks, although the road
led up to them on either side.
FIywheeI Caught on Rail.
"Dr. Brown was running the machine
slowly to take the grade and tracks.
The front wheels dropped over to the
railroad ~roadbed, and the machine sud
denly stopped. l jumped and dis
covered that the fywheel had caught
on the rails n stopped the engine.
"The track was perfectly straight for
ten miles one way and fifteen the 9TH
err, and when / got out no train was in
sight. l placed the jack under the
front wheels, and lifted them, and had
resumed my seat beside DR.. Brown,
when Mrs. Brown exclaimed:
Jumped for Their Lives.
My God, here comes a train!"
, 1906-08-17

Or. Brown yelled for us to jump for
our lives, and we did SO.
AN instant later the train struck
the front end OF the automobile and
hurled it $50 feet. There we're three
loud explosions rs the gasoline went
off from the conclusion.
THE machine Immediately burned
up.
After things had cooled off, we be-
gan to search for our valuables. We
found the steel framework Of the car
and the engine intact, not even sprung
by the contact with the locomotive.
Money Burned Up.
THE money was all burned SO that
1t could not be recognized, and we
found the diamonds and other jewels
lying in the ashes, with the gold sur
rounding them melted in Jumps.
THE engineer stopped his train in
side of its length, and when ask
ed why he did not stop, he said he
thought we were section hands.
A." Are you in the habit of running
down section hands?' inquired. To
which he replied that people ought to
get out of the way of trains He said
he was going at the rate of sixty-fve
miles an hour, and that he was late
and trying to make up time"
Orders New Machine
DIR. Brown and the others of the par
ty returned to Denver this morning.
He was not daunted by the wreck, and
at once placed his order for a duplicate
to his DESTROYED machine.
