DIR. Rustin had remained out late

The first theory OF the police was
that Rustin had committed suicide. but
as no pistol has been found, and
from the fact that surgeon would
have shot himself through the heart
or the head. the murder theory is
now accepted.
The police are working in the dark

One of the most peculiar. 5et for.

Rio Cirandc occurred this morning ,yhen
tile boiler of the engine pulling the
first section Of No. 5, westbound pas
senger blew entirely off the trucks and

injuries may be is not known here yet.
Another engine was attached 10 NO !
and the train is expected to arrive mere
this afternoon. The regular hour %
arrival for this train Is so and it was
expected the main linA would be cieat-
ed by noon. The tracks, themselves
We're not torn UP by the explosion,
From the few details received here IL
seems the boiler simply blew OFT tne
trucks. Luckily the high pressure Willcn
must have been inside did not cause
the boiler to fly to pieces as is usually
the case. Had this occurred the list
of injured would have been long ana
most likely preceded by list OF dead.
UNIONS UGLY HINT.
1t was insinuated by several persons
that the accident to the engine might.
not have been caused by carelessneSs
of the engine crew in letting a tte-
mendous pressure creep up, but by de-
fective repairing on the part OF tho
shopmen at the point where the en-
CINE was last overhauled. In this Is
hidden a jab at the forces employed
at present in the Rio Grande shop.
Ever since the unoniZed boiler makers
and muchinisrs walked out in March,
on-unou men. ''scabs. as they are
called by union men, have been EN-
ployed. The local shops are full Of
noninion men, guards are still on duty
around the company's shops ana
q high fence surrounds the
plant. But as this mornings
accident is the first bad one
the Rio Grande has experienced during
all the months which have rolled
around since the strike was called out
the company does not believe the acct
manship on the part of its non union
employees.
When asked for details the wire de-
partrent of the Rio Grande said it
knew nothing about the accident and
maintained this attitude throughout
the forenoon The passenger Offices
and superintendent's offices We're hon
est and furnished the News with
what facts they had received.
