The west bound passenger train
struck an obstruction on the track
about six miles east Of Pierre. but
luckily did not leave the rails. An IN
vestigation Of the cause showed two
drawbars from car on the track, Z
few rods apart. How they got there
was = mystery until the train crew
reached Pierre and reported, and
found that the reason the bars were
on the track was on account Of q Pc
culiar accident freight car being
lost out Of the middle Of q long train
without the crew being aware Of the
loss. A long freight Of thirty six cars
pulled out for the east the previous
night and the car jumped out Of the
train, both draSsbars rfore the car be-
ing lost IN the accident. The rear
section Of the train bumped into the
front section and the patent couplers
caught. connecting up the train. The
loss was not discovered until the train
crew was wired from Pierre to check
up their train to find where the lost
car belonged.
