Company's Fault.


ut is nobody's fault but the
company's," declared Claude Cog
llzer, son of the dead engineer.
They loaded father too heavy.
1t was a 500 class engine. not
heavy enough for load like that.
Father had been in the service of
the road for nearly fifty year..
and he knew how to run down the
mountain. The pump couldn't
make air fast enough to hold a
train of that size on that grade. A"
Stories being circulated will
lead to vigorous Investigation.
One is that the engine was not in
the best of repair. Another is
that Engineer Coglizer made two
stops between Scranton and the
top of the mountain and seri,
back word that it was not safe to
attempt to go down the mountain
with the engine. He was ordered
to go on, the stories go. These
reports are vigorously denied by
the railroad officials.
People who saw the train rush
ing to destruction say the brakes
were set and the wheels were
heated red hot, a shower of
sparks from them giving the ap-
pearance of huge pinwheels.
The propertq loss included
$4,000 in equipment and $780,
600 in freight.
That doesn't include whatever
a couple of trainmen's lives NAV
be worth, of course.

UNKNOWN HOBO HERO OF THIS WRECKv

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. IA
This is the story of a hobo who
Paid for his ride on the freight
train--a wild ride on the axle of a
car rushing 90 miles an hour
down the mountain side--a ride
that ended in wreck, in death for
two trainmen and in heroship for
the hobo.
Also this wreck may re-
suit in exposure of two
phases of modern railroading
overlooking of trains and
cheap valuation of train
mems lives.
((Au 4.f.00 canTIEO n t. In
SiXty-one loaded freigh cars
started out behind a Lacka wanna
engine over the Pocono mountain
route from Scranton to New York
city. On a grade of over eighty
feet to the mile the train ran
away. Then something slipped
and "a freight cars piled up in
total wreck with the engine. Fire
did the rest. Fifteen more cars
were partially destroyed.
1t took them two days and a
night to find enough pieces of En-
gineer Geo. Coglizer's body for
centification. They didn't locate
VIM Ryan, a brakeman, at all, ex-
cept for few bones in the debris
of ashes. Fireman Boerman and
Flagman Common are lighting for
l.fe in "a hospital. The conductor
escaped.
But there are one other man
on the Inflated train. He was not
in the employ of the company.
He didn't handle the throttle for
$4.S5 per day.
This time THE MAN was the
much despised hobo. When the
crash came he was hurled so feet
and, as he said, separated from
his breath" But that only stop
ped him for a minute. He dash
ed down the tracks nearly a mile,
gave the news to a towerman,
and before the wires were burned
down from the blaze of the wreck,
helped to get telephone commune
cation with the railroad officials
here. A wreck train carrying a
fire engine and fire fighters was
rushed "a miles to the scene.

vain effort to rescue tho
bodies of the killed, and to

may have concerning the
wreck. Liberal compensation
undoubtedly awaits the man
who rode the axle and was
