often stops his performance TO look

As the result of an engine turning
over in the yards of the Wabash at
Moulton early today, no morning
trains were run over the road between
Ottumwa and Moulton Passengers

morning were turned away. Traffic
was completely blocked and although
no one was injured, many persons
were disappointed who wanted to
make points between here and Moul.
ton and some going to through points
transferred to other roads in Ottum-
wa. The trouble was caused by one
engine colliding sidewise with an
other while on the "Y", causing the
tender of engine No. 379 to turn over,
thus blocking all traffic. No. 379 is
the engine run by M. Strassler, a
veteran Ottumwa engineer and it was
used in service between Ottumwa and
Moulton. Mr.. Strassler was off duty at
the time of the accident and Engineer
John Milton was in charge. Train
