the BrazOs river between Knox City and
Benjamin, Tex J. Z. Stafford of Crow

persons were injured, none fatally.
Details received here by e. Dickinson,
vice president and general manager of
the Orient, are meager. All wires to
Texas points are down There were few
passengers on the train, which was run
ming about twenty miles an hour when
the accident occurred. "A terrific rain
and windstOrm had been encountered by
the train all night AS the train passed
upon the bridge a sudden blow sent it
rolling into the almost dry bed of the
river below. The baggage car and three
coaches toppled over, but the weight of
the engine prevented it from leaving the
rails. That more persons were not in
jured was due to the fact that at the
point where the train left the rails the
fall is but ten feet.

Mrs. Gould leaned forward eagerly at
this point to meet the next question, but
just then the clock struck four and ad-

the likelihood that she will remain on the
stand throughout the day.
Once Mrs. Gould apologized for her in
