of the canal is reached no further trouble
need be anticipated, as greater stability

cause a large part of that expensive work
might prove wholly unnecessary.
Deepening of the cut and widening Of
the lower reaches has progressed salts

ference on account of slides than at any
time since trouble with them began. The
slides have caused no increase in the total

Mrs. A. C. Harrington, who resides
on Greydene avenue, East Canon. was
run into by a Denver & Rio Grande
freight train near the Cottonwood
avenue crossing about IL O'Clock this
morning and seriously injured. Mrs.
Harrington was walking along the
track at the time and had stepped
to one side to avoid being run over hy
passenger train coming up behind
her, but did not see a freight train
bearing down upon her from the
same direction on another track
The engineer had observed the wo-
mans danger and was attempting TO
stop his train TO avoid running into
her. otherwise the accident could
hardly have failed TO be a fatal one.
The roar Of the passenger train as ii
whirled past her made 1t impossible
for Mrs. Harrington to hear the rum
Bile OF the approaching freight and
she was unconscious of her peril un-
til she was struck by the locomotive
and thrown down the embankment
against a barbed wire fence. As soon
as the engineer could bring his train
