A heavy freight on the A. & N. M.
went into the ditch Saturday last a
short distance below Guthrie. Seven
cars in the middle of the train left
the track at curve and one or two
of them landed in the river. Two
new locomotives we're expected to ar
rive Saturday and would have been
in the middle of this train, but fortu-
nately they were delayed from Ell
Paso. When bringing in dead" To-
comotives it is customary to place
them in the middle of the train. The
delay no doubt saved what might
have been costly accident.
