Bad Wreck -One Killed

At about 10 o'clock in the ev-
ening ofThursday, December 9TH,
extra freight train westbound,
with Engineer Walcott and en-
CINE 1910 and Conductor Bauer,
was derailed at Shope, a new
side track, about ninety miles
east of Winslow, and fifteen cars
were turned over, caused by a
journal on a car next to the en-
gine breaking.
A. H. W1llman, head brakeman,
was killed by the cars piling over
him. ]. A. Root, Justice of the
Peace at Navajo, was brought
to the scene of the accident to
hold an inquest, and he also act
ed as temporary operator IN or
der to notify the officials. The
body of Whitman was brought
here to Winslow and placed in
w. A. PARIS undertaking parlor.
All trains were delayed for about
twelve hours.
Brakeman Whitman had been a
resident of Winslow for over a
year; was about thirty-five years
old and unmarried. He was a
member of the Order of Railway
Conductors and of the Albany,
Oregon, Lodge of Elks. He was
a man ofjovial disposition and
always greeted you with a smile.
All those that knew him counted
him as their friend and esteemed
him very highly. The local
lodge of Elks have charge of the
body and will await orders from
his ledge as to the disposition
to be made OF the same.

On Saturday, Nov. 80, about
4 p. m., train No. 8 left the rails
near Toltec, about fifty miles
east of Gallup. The standard
sleeper was the only car that
was not totally or in part derail-
ed, yet there were no fatalities,
the only injury reported being
that OF Wells Fargo and Com
panys messenger, X. H. Boett-
cher, who suffered a rather Sc
we're spraiu of the left hand and
knee. 1t was necessary to build
nearly a half mile of shoo-hy
track to pass trains around the
wreck and to work with the
wreckers re-railing the passen-
ger cars. Wreckers were started
at once from Gallup, Winslow
and Albuquerque. All trains
were badly delayed by the acci-
dent, No. 8 due here Saturday
evening not arriving until late
Sunday afternoon.

By the derailment of two cars
in an extra east at Holmes sid
ing, six miles east ofAsh Fork last
Tuesday evening, engineer A. H.
Lingo, we'll known in Winslow,
but for some time past in the
helper service out of Ash Fork was
seriously, if not fatally injured.
Mr.. Lingo was standing along
side his engine awaiting the ar
rival of two eastbound extras
before proceeding to Ash Fork.
By some unknown cause, two
cars left the rails and lodged
against the engine handled by
Lingo. Mr.. Lingo was placed
in a caboose and hurried to
Seligman for treatment, the out
come of which is yet in doubt.
He was later taken to the Los
Angeles hospital.

Freight business with the San

any similar time in the past, re-

line apparently being IN a badly

moving east it would seem the
company will be hard put to
keep the business moving until
the arrival OF some of the new

BILL NOT FAVORED.
Railroad Men Want Better Time
Limit Law to Prevail

Railroad men and managers in Ogden
continue to discuss a 16-hour bill which
may be put before the coming leglsla-
ture. Interesting arguments are made
by those for and against such a bill.
Every man present at these meetings IL
furnished with copy of the proposed
measure and then the discussion COM
mences. The measure provides that a
working day shall consist of 10 hours
with minimum rest OF 10 hours. The
bill intended for the senate provides a
fine of $1,000 for any violation of this
measure by official or employee: the
house bill makes the fine just half this
sum.
The discussions being conducted IN
ogden are becoming interesting. Train
men, dispatchers and railroad men gem
orally are not unanimous In their sup
port of the bill intended to relieve them
OF long hours and short changes. The
bill, 1t is predicted, will be a failure.
