Mr. Danforth continues to sell Pepsikola
tablets with the understanding that You can

RELIEF TRAIN is WRECKED
Traffic on Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe Is Delayed as a
Result

Traffic on both the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe on the lines east of
Los Angeles was tied up yesterday.
While speeding along at the rate of
thirty miles an hour a west-bound
freight train on the Southern Pacific
went in the ditch near Benson Sunday
night.
A wheel on a freight car broke and
let the front end of the car down. The
corner struck tie, upending the car.
and fifteen cars piled up one on top OF
another and went rolling down the en-
bankment at the side of the track. All
Of the cars contained supplies for the
relief of the people at San Francisco.
No one was injured, but all passen-
ger trains were delayed for nineteen
hours.
A dispatch from Riverside states that
an east-bound passenger train over the
Santa Fe overturned at Horseshoe
bend in the Santa Ana canyon yester-
day noon. Three people were injured:
r. V. Craw, express messenger, shoul-
der bone and wrist broken; Frank A.
Drading of San Jacinto, leg cut and
wrist sprained; Mrs. Henrietta Cowan,
Santa Ana, back sprained.
