ACCIDENT AVER7ED
SOME ONE "sPIKED" SWITCH AT
MOUNDS, ILL.
Fact That Train Was Going at
Moderate Speed Prevented Its
DeraiIment.

Cairo, ILL.,, Dec. 30.-The little
city of Mounds might have been the
scene of an awful railroad wreck
Wednesday night, according TO the
story told by citizens of Mounds yes
terday.
II was said some fiend in human
shape threw the lower switch and
spiked il on the Illinois Central
track south of town some time
shortly before the arrival of No. 23,
passenger train from Chicago, which
leaves Mounds about $3.50 o'clock.
The north-bound main track is east
OF the south-bound track and the
switch was thrown so as to run the
south-bound train over on the oppo-
site track. A train going at an
ordinary rate of speed would have
been derailed by the short turn, but
IL is said the train had not gotten
good headway and IL was this fact
that prevented an accident. The
train got partly over the switch be-
fore it was stopped. Had the switch
been thrown after No. 23 had passed
the Seminole limited, which does not
stop at Mounds, and going at the
rate of 40 to so miles an hour, the
result is too awful to contemplate.

range that rims the valley in which
Los Angeles, Pasadena and the towns

weather conditions he scared 1O,OO5
feet into che sky and cleared the
crest of Mt. Wilson with 4,200 feet

Lieut.. Vernon Boiler and several
other army officers who are here to
see the flights, were quick to observe
in Hoxsey's performance a new way
of transporting armies across noun
tain ranges, ana predicted the early
relegation of the amy mule as an
essential in scaling heights.
Lieut. Boiler, who came here from
Fort Whipple. Ariz., said that thou
sand biplanes could transport an
army of ten thousand men across
mountains as high as the Alps in a
day.
Hoxsay used a heavy Wright BIZ
plane equipped for passenger serv-
ice. and made the journey from the
field to a point beyond the mont
at.ns in hour and 2S minutes. The
distance is estimated OF "a miles.
HOxseys performance was the
only interesting feat today, but Just
before the close OF The afternoon
events the crowd got a thrill by an
accident that nearly resulted in the
death OF Hubert Latham, the French
aeroplane expert. who made a val
liant attempt to save Glenn Martin
the California novice. when the lat
ter lost control of his machine and
was blown far to the south of the
field. where he narrowly escaped dis.
aster several times among the high
wires and trees. BY skillful maneu-
lverlng of his machine he finally
struck back to the course and the
crash came as he was trying to make
a rounding.
