WATCHED
RUNAWAY
DENVER RAILROAD MAN TELLS
OF EXCITING EVENT AT
STATE CAPITAL.
Steel Ballast Car Starts on Hill at
Granite Canon and Is Purposely
Wrecked In Cheyenne Yards
"colonel" Ransom of Rolling Mills
Throws Down the Gauntlet.

Warren McCord, western representa-
tive of the Chicago and Northwestern,
who arrived from Cheyenne this after
loon, witnessed the wreck OF a run
away ballast car at Cheyenne yesterday
afternoon, and describes it as n of
the most peculiar incidents in his rail
road career. The car was about half
full of gravel when it started from
Granite Canon, and when it reached
the Cheyenne yards it had gained ire
mendous speed. Just why it stayed
on the track he did not know. In
the yards, just before it struck an old
wooden car placed in its way on pur-
pose, one of the rails of the sidetrack
turned, breaking somewhat the mo-
mentum of the car. One pair of trucks
remained on the track. The wooden
car was badly wrecked, but the ballast
car, built of steel, was not greatly in
jured.

A NEW WATER MAIN
FOR SEVENTH STREET.

The residents of Seventh street, from
Grand avenue south are discussing the
laying of a four-inch main on that
street. At present there is no water
pipe on Seventh street, the houses be-
ing supplied from the Sixth and Eighth
street mains. There is an alarming
waste of water these last few days, peo,
pie using it regardless of the existing
regulations, and in places it is almost
impossible to get enough for domestic
purposes. To use a toilet on the second
floor and often to even flush a closet
on the ground floor in many parts of
the city is about out of the question
during watering hours. The marshal
should urge his watchmen to see to as
rigid enforcement of the water ordin-
ances as possible.
