headquarters of the Southern Pacific
and operators at all way stations We're
in agonizing suspense awaiting news
of what they were certain would be one
of the most frightful disasters in the
history of the mountain division.
Wrecking crews were ordered out at
Blue Canyon and Sparks, physicians
were summoned and trains were being
made up to rush to the scene.
But the unexpected happened.
There was a collision between a run
away freight train and the second sec
tion of passenger train No. 6, one of
the overlands, but there was no loss
of life. in fact no one was hurt, and
the long suspense and preparations
were in vain.
A freight train broke in two at Soda
Springs this morning. Twenty-Five cars
from the rear end started down grade
and gathered momentum with each
turn of the wheels. Coming UP grade
was the second section of train No. 6,
filled with passengers bound for the
east. There was no station between the
two trains and the crew of the freight
train realized collision was inevita-
Bile. The operator at Soda Springs noti-
fed division officials.
It took only moment for the dis
patchers to realize what would take
place, and preparations were made to
care for the dead and injured.

age and Die
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STOCKTON, Sept. S-Scores Of ducks,
plover, killdeer and other wild game
have died on the Boggs tract, south
west Of this city, and dozens are dying.
The cause is not known. The only
reason that can be assigned is that the
birds have been feeding on the city
sewage that empties into Mormon chan
mel.
Small boys have been making it a
practice to capture the sick birds and
take them home, where they have at
tempted to doctor them. Deputy Fish
and Game Warden W. w. Lewallen has
issued warning against a ecntinu-
ance of this. and any one caught with
wild game of that nature in his pos
session will be arrested.
The practice is not only against the
law, but it is unhealthy and dangerous
to handle the game.
The ducks and other birds can be
seen standing with their heads turned
under the wing or hanging down.
Death results soon after this stage
The Boggs tract has been good
hunting ground for years. and duck
hunters never fail to bag the limit at
the opening OF the season.
The health authorities will make a
thorough investigation.
