gravel cars o<o the main track
near Valley yesterday and from
the vantage point of a high bank

the official to save the south bound
passenger from destruction. The
log train had broken loose from its
engine near Springdale and a mes

in time to permit the placing of
the gravel train on the track. The
Valley operator also did quick work
in stopping the passenger train.

30 cars and a stretch of tornup
roadbed. The passenger train had
in the meanwhile been held up at
