ACCIDENT
AT CAMFIELD dam
FOR SECOND TINE WITHIN WEEK.
ENGINE AND TRAIN PLUNGE
OFF TREsTLE

Following right on the heels of the
derailment and precipitation of sever
lcars of work train from the
trestle at the Camfield dam site, oc-
CURED another accident. This was
fully as lucky as the first as nobody
was injured. The trestle slopes some
what from the hill toward the center
of the dam. The train, made up of
10 cars, all heavily loaded, backed
out on the structure. The momentum
of the train and slope of the trestle
caused the cars to attain a consider
able speed. AS the train drew near
the edge of the trestle the engineer
attempted to put on the brakes. To
his horror thy refused to work. The
engineer lost no time in jumping, leav-
ing the train to it's fate. The entire
ten cars and engine plunged off the
trestle The wreck was quickly clean
ed up. The construction company
has made necessary repairs and be-
lieves that similar accidents in the
future will not be likely. Every pre-
caution is being taken for safeguard
ing men and machinery and hurrying
the work.

LEADING REGULAR FORCE OF
1000 MEN ON MARCH
TO JUAREZ

El Paso, Tex, Feb. THE revolu-
tlonary forces under General Pascual
.Orozco were believed to be at the
Flores ranch, about fifteen miles
southeast of Juarez, this morning,
thre awaiting reinforcements under
Colonel Blanco who is coming up from
Casas Grandes. Americans arriving
overland from that place last night
state that the reason Colonel Blanco
has not already joined General Orozco
in front of Juarez, was he has been
busy fighting the Eighteenth federal
infantry, which was marching from
Galagos, on the Mexican National rail
road, to Casas Grandes. These Ameri-
cans say that it is currently reported
at Casas Grandes that the Eighteenth
Infantry was practically annihilated
and that Colonel Blanco had begun an
advance north.
Juarez today has resumed its nor
NAL aspect, but troops are still on
guard at all the public buildings. Re
gardless of the fact that twenty
wounded soldiers and six wounded wo-
men are now lying in Juarez hospi-
tai, the victims OF fighting near Jua-
rez, circulars were distributed in
Juarez this morning declaring that
Colonial Rabago had defeated the reb-
els Sunday with heavy loss and had
sustained only one killed and four
The circular was headed
Viva Diaz; Death to the Rebels" It

1illed in Sundays fighting and that
Madero is now awaiting in El Paso
for the chance that will never come,

that he had permission from the fed
