 Remarkable Accidents

One of the most remarkable scci- dents in the history Of railrosding oc- cured on the main line of the <. ?. east of Tucson. The throttle by means of which the engineer controls his train was broken ot and .he driver was left without any power whatever {, and without any method of stopping the train.
 The air brakes could not be used s1 long ss tbl machinery of the engine was driving the train forward. It WAS a heavy overland train on which were many passengers, and the situation was 8 decidedly ticklish one. For tuns.ely coon after the accident the train struck sn up grade. ard the en. eineer and his assistant went to work to kill' the engine. IL .otk half sn hour to put out the fires and bring the train 10 a stsndstill, and the pas sengers never knew what close call they had.
 II the train had been going down hill instsad of up, or even had it been on a level stretch Of track, DO power on earth could have stopped it, or even reduced the speed, and 6 terrible wreck would slmost certainly have taken place. There were many Cochise county people ou the train. Rail road men say that there are fex in stances recorded of similar scci- dent.

When the engine was stopped the oahy was picked up none the worse for it's close brush with death.

 Early risers in Prescott witness ed wonderful natural phenomenon 1T the eastern heavens on Sunday morn ing As the sun was peeping ovel the eastern hills, bank of cloudi hung low on the horizon in iro3t of the sun; through these clouds bsaC of reiracted light, about one-fourth o degree in width, extended t1 tn, zenith; it was an exact reproduction of the tail of Halley's comet as it ap peared during the early morning il the month of May"
