the displacement Of rails. Among the In
jured were Mr.. and Mrs. S. G. Jackson and
Vida Jackson of West Lafayette, Ind., who
were slightly bruised.
A few hours later the engine and two
coaches OF a Colorado Midland train were
derailed inside the city limits Of Denver,
presumably the result OF heat-twisted rails,
