OPEN SWITCH CAUSES
WRECK.
CIV. New London Passenger Train
Crashes Into q. & m. Freiuht.

Crashes Into q. & m. Freight.
Through the carelessness of some
railroad employee who left switch
on the main line of the Central Vermont
railroad open, a head-on-collision &C.
Cured Monday afternoon in the Brattle-
boro freight yard shortly after 2 o'clock
when the New London passenger train,
arriving in Brattleboro at 2:05 o'clock,
crashed into Boston and Maine through
freight which was being held on sid
ing.
The passenger train, bow led into the
Brattleboro yard at reduced speed of
eight miles an hour. Without warning
it took the open switch and swerved
toward the freight. On account of a
fine rain that had made the tracks slip
perry the b. axes did not hold and the
two trains came together with resound-
ing crash. The pilots of both engines
were broken and twisted and the boiler
beam of the freight engine was badly
damaged.
A combination baggage car and mail
coach which was attached to the Cen
trail Vermont engine was badly damaged.
1t was derailed and the forward part of
the car was mass of twisted iron and
splintered wood. The platform brakes
and ironwork being torn off. Fortunate
~ this compartment was not occupied.
In the rear coaches of the passenger
train great deal of confusion followed
the collision, but the trainmen speedily
restored order. The lamps were broken
and several windows were smashed, but
no one was injured by the flying glass.
All of the passengers were more or less
shaken up and bruised, but none were
seriously injured.
Frank w. Mellandy, baggage master
in the employ of the Central Vermont
railroad, who lives in South London
derry, was badly bruised by being buried
against trunk, and Engineer Andrews
of the freight received several minor
burns by being thrown against the boiler
of his engine. He was alone in the cab
at the time of the accident.
A brakeman of the freight whose
name is unknown, was also injured.
After a short delay a wrecking crew
was sent to the scene of the accident
and the traces were removed as much as
possible. Traffic on the main line was
resumed at $3.50 o'clock.

The Greatest Structure of Its Kind In
the World.
Measured by the combined length
and capacity of its FIVE main spans, the
greensboro bridge, across the East
river from Fifty-ninth street, New
York. to Ravenswood. Queens, is the
greatest bridge in the world. Includ-
ing approaches, it's total length Is 5000

Safe Blown Open at West Berlin

The safe in the office of Davis Bros. at
West Berlin was blown open some time
between midnight Thursday and day
light Friday morning and about $500 in
cash and $3.50 in notes and checks was
taken. A general alarm was sent out
early Friday morning and every deputy
sheriff and constable in the county is on
the lookout for suspicious characters.
The Office of Davis Bros, who are
granite manufacturers at West Berlin,
is not situated near any other building,
and the robbers had an excellent chance
to do the job without molestation.

Buildings can be secured suitable for
county purposes new and up-to-date
including a large vault. at total expense
of $50 per month, and this conten'ion of
Mari is wholly without merit, and he
knew it at the time he made it.
The petition which has been filed with
the hous, committee on counties and
to see how mn ny were taxpayers, and it
shows that of the entire tax of $4,000
levied in the North Park district the pc
titioncrs paid for 1908 nearly $15.0
and IS, 900 in q ldition represents ION
residents and corporations other II an
those represented by Mari and his friends
while the balance is represented by
Marr's company and those assoicatedwlth
him in this opposition.
The weak excuse and apology offered
by Mari about failure to secure petition
ers against the new county is answered
by the foregoing data.
1t appears from Mars statement that
he is in favor of a new county two years
process of cons ruction is completed and
TOWNSHIP located near and on the land
of his company, when he could force the
location of the county seat in his favor.
Reduced to a final analysis, the oppo
sition to the new county is wholly con
fined to Mari and about dozen others,
and rests upon purely personal aud
selfish motives, and is wholly lacking in
any public spirit or interest in the gen.
eral welfare of the county. The balance
of Larimer county is not here interpos
ing any objection, for if the new terri
tory is willing to assume the burdens of
county government, that precludes any
controversy. Both the senator and rep
resentative from Larimer county are in
favor of the new county and there re-
mains no valid reasons why the prayer
of the people should not be granted.
The railroad in process of construction
will probably be completed to the North
Park country during the present year,
and this will add to the assessed valua
ton as well as affording that country an
opportunity to develop its rich resources
and increase its population The presi
dent of the company constructing the
railroad has formally indorsed the pro
posed new county, and his letter is filed
with his report,
The population is now about $500,

Editorial.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE SAY

WHAT THE COMMITTEE SAY
| North Park citizens VINO are in Denver
trying to have the Legislature make a
county out of the territory in the Park
are not overlooking any chances to help
| along the cause. Recently VIM Mari
representative of large cattle company
with some of his associates. appeared be-
fore committee of the house of repre-
sentatives in argument against the bill
creating the new county. At that same
meeting were number of people from
the Park and some from the other part
of Larimer County, all agreeing that if
the people of North Park wish county
they should have it. In view of the
statements made in newspapers by some
of those opposed to the county the COM
mittee, consisting of w. O. Mosmar,
Hugh E. Hunter and j. 7. Shippey have
issued the following statement of their
position:
The total registration In North Park
precincts for 1908 was 667 and the total
vole cast for the election was 36s. The
weather conditions on election day were
very unfavorable hence the light vote.
The total valuation for 1908 of all prop
erty within the proposed new comfy is
,776, instead of $3.50, 900, as stated by
Mari, and according to the deputy as
SCISSOR for that district, the total assess
ment for 1909 will not be less than
81, 100000. If the company which Mari
| represents and the other persons named
by him were assessed according to the
remainder of the property in that terri
| tory, there would be more than suffici.
mt revenue to meet all expenses of the
new county without any increase in the
mill rate This fear of proper assess
ment explains the animus of the oppon
ents more than anything else. The tot
levy for that portion of Larimer County
for the year 1903 was rs mills and of
this amount mills goes TO the state

This levy would produce the sum OF

sum of 81 500 to be derived from the for

law. would be due that portion of the
