ROCK ISLAND LIMITED HITS
FREIGHT TRAIN AT TUCUMCARI

The eastbound Golden State Limit
ed of the Eel Paso and Southwestern
crashed into the rear end Of a freight
train Of twenty cars standing on the
main line Of the Rock Island at Tu-
cumcari Thursday morning.
The way car of the freight train
was reduced to scrap iron and splint-
ers and a flat ear and a furniture car
forward were demolished. The crew
Of the freight owe their lives to the
fact hat they had tied up and left the
way car a few minutes previously.
The engineer Of the limited acted
promptly, applied the emergenc air
and jumped when he saw the train
ahead was on the main line, escaping
unhurt. The fireman clambered over
the tender and also escaped without
injury, None Of the passengers OF
other persons on the train was in
1ured. and the passengers back of the
ordinary day coach hardly felt the
shock OF the collision.
The limited was running twenty
minutes late out Of Santa Rosa and
five minutes late INTO Tucumcari. The
night was very cloudy n dark and
at h point of the collision, a few
hundred feet from the station. there
is usually a pall Of smoke from nu-
merous engines in the yard. which
probably accounts for the engineers
being unable TO see the train.
The crew Of the freight had tied
up" and taken down its lights, so
there were no lights to Indicate that
the freight was on the main line.

SUED FOR $50. 900 DAMAGES

Wallace Ellsworth has filed suit
against the I'll Paso and Southwestern
Railway company for $4,000 in re-
covery for personal injuries, alleged to
nave been sustained when he jumped
from a train Of the defendant com
pany.

the rear section, signaled the engin-
eef 10 back up slowly. II is alleged
That the engineer backed up at a dan
gerous speed, approximately twenty
miles an hour, and that. fearing the
result Of the collision, and after the
engineer had failed to obey repeated
signals to slow his train. Ellsworth
jumped. sustained injuries that have
made him a cripple for life.

BIG PRECEDING
PLANT TO RUN
NEXT SEASON
New System of Icing Fruit
Shipments Expected to be In
Operation by Next Summer.

Work Is soon to be commenced on
an immense fruit preceding plant on
the Santa Fe line between san Ber-
nardino and Cotton. the plant to be
completed and ready for work by the
opening of the next citrus fruit sea
son next November. 1t is to have "A
capacity Of nearly 100 cars per day
Of oranges and is designed to do the
preceding for all orange shipments
from Cotton, High Grove, Riverside
and Corona the coming season.
The land for the plant was pur-
chased last month and consists Of a
strip 500 feet long and 200 feet IN
width on the west side of the Santa
FEES freight CUTOFF just north Of
where it leaves the main line. which
is about midway between the two
cities. This location places it where
all freight trains from the south will
pass it. as all trains from that direc-
tion will take the cutoff as soon as
the new yards in san Bernardino are
completed.
Work Il be Concentrated.
This means that the preceding of
oranges will be concentrated as much
as possible by the Santa Fe as the ma
ture OF the work requires large and
expensive plants. These plants will be
located at points where the largest
amount of fruit possible can be got
ten together. This plant will take care
of all fruit the santa Fe receives from
the south. Another plant will prob
ably be erected at a convenient point
for taking care Of the fruit from Red
lands, East Highland and Mentone,
though the site for that house has
not yet been announced. and a third
plant for shipments from the west.
The preceding system has been
found to be even more satisfactory
than 1t was anticipated. Six weeks g
the experimental plant in the west
end of the Santa Fe yards at San
Bernardino was placed in commission.
Shipments cooled by this process have
arrived in the eastern markets in most
desirable condition, there being no
doubt now as to the success Of the
plan. rs a result plants for %pre-cooI-
ing will be erected all along the
Santa ke lines.

use it. The soda ash company is
keeping out of the fight. II is desirops
of getting all the railroad facilities
possible and getting them now.
The spectacular part of the perfor-
nance in the scrap for this piece Of
track was when the Rock Island
switching crew brought out several
empty box cars and set them ON the
place whore the switch was being put
in. This was when the Santa Fe crew
had the work partly done and when
cars could be run over It.. The ais
were stopped on the work and moth
ing was doing. In a little while, how
ever. the Santa Fe crew arrived with
W. switch engines and some ears
and The two locked horns. They
pushed each other some but the Rock
Island was not strong enough for the
Santa Fe and the latter pushed the
Rock Island engine out of the way.
The work then went on and the RocE
Island engine came back to town.

CONSCIENCE
IN ART

''I never could hold my partner, Andy
Tucker, down to the legitimate ethics Of
pure swindling," said jeff Peters to me
one day.
ANDY had too much imagination to
be honest. He used to devise schemes
of money getting so fraudulent and
high financial that they wouldn't have
been allowed in the bylaws of a rail-
road rebate system.
Myself, l never believed in taking
any mans dollars unless L gave him
something for it-something in the way
of rolled gold jewelry, garden seeds,
lumbago lotion, stock certificates, stove
polish or a crack on the head to show
for his money. / guess l must have
had New England ancestors away back
and inherited some of their stanch and
rugged fear Of the police.
But Andy's family tree was in diff
ferent kind. I don't think he could
have traced his descent any further
back than corporation.
zone summer while we was in the
middle west working down the Ohio
valley with a line of family albums,
headache powders and roach destroyer,
Andy takes one of his notions of. high
and actionable financiering.
jeff says he, I've been thinking
that we ought to drop these rutabaga
fanciers and give our attention to
something more nourishing and pro-
life. If we keep snapshooting these
kinds for their egg money we'll be
classed as nature takers. How about
plunging into the Businesses of the sky
scraper country and biting some big
bull caribous in the chest"
Well says I, you know my lido
syncracies. ] prefer a square, nOn-il-
legal style of business such as we are
carrying on now. When l take money
] want to leave some tangible object in
the other fellows hands for him to gaze
at and TO distract his attention from
my spOor, even if it's only a KOmical
Kuss Trick Finger Ring for Squirting
Perfume in a Friends Eye. But if
you've got a fresh idea, Andy says l,
let's have a look at it. Tn not so
welded TO petty graft that I would
refuse something better in the way of
a subsidy

II was thinking, says Andy, of a
little hunt without horn, hound or cam
era among the great herd of the Midas
Americans, commonly known as the
Pittsburg millionaire
g In New York; l asks.
No, sir says Andy, in Pittsburg.
That's their habitat. They don't like
New York. They go there now and
then just because it's expected of 'em.'
"A Pittsburg millionaire in New
York is like a fly in a cup of hot cof-
fee-he attracts attention and COM
ment, but he don't enjoy it. New York
ridicules him for blowing" so much
money in that town and sneaks and
snobs and sneers. The truth is. he
don't spend anything while he is there.
1 saw a memorandum of expenses for
ten days trip to Bunkum Town
made by a Pittsburg man worth S15,-
600, 900 once. Here's the way he set it
down:
r. r. fare to and from. 81. 90
Cab fare to and from hotel.. 200
Hotel bill at s. per day...... 5000

That's the voice of New York
goes on Andy THE towns nothing but
a head waiter. If you tip it too much
it'll go and stand by the door and make
fun of you to the hat check boy. When
a Pittsburger wants to spend money
and have a good time he stays at home
That's where We'll go to catch him.
well, to make a dense story more
condensed, me and Andy cached our
paris green and antipyrine powders
and albums in friends cellar and took
the trail to Pittsburg. Andy didn't
have any especial prospectus of Chi
canery and violence drawn up, but he
always had plenty of confidence that
his immoral nature would rise to any
occasion that presented itself.
As a concession to my ideas of
self-preservatiOn and rectitude he
promised that if l should take any lit

Then he wanted to show me his
bachelor apartment on Liberty street.
He's got ten rooms over a fish market
with privilege of the bath on the next
floor above. He told me it cost him
$4,000 to furnish his apartment, and
I believe it.
He's got $4,000 worth of pictures in
one room, and $4,000 worth of curios
