Narrow Escape From Accident

Last Saturday morning as the
engine of the work train was on
its way to the water tank at Spring
creek, the engineer discovered
that the dirt in the south abut-
ment, of the last bridge across the
branch of the river, was being
rapidly washed away. The water
in the ditch on the Crawford
ranch had been turned in a day or
two before, and the overflow, a
small stream, had ran down the
barrow pit and was washing the
dirt out in an alarming manner.
1t took four car loads of stone and
much dirt to undo the work of a
few hours from an insignificant
stream of water. The dirt in the
abutment Was a kind of quicksand
and dry rs an ash heap.
