TRAIN IS. WRECKED
AUTHORITIES DECLARE THAT
DISASTER WAS PLANNED.
Twenty-Five People Injured Near
Middleton, Conn.-Unfortunates
Are Given Prompt Attention.


Are Given Prompt Attention.
Railway men were at. work all
Monday night clearing up the wreck
age of the Valley division express,
which was ditched three and half
miles south Of Middleton, Conn. Mon
day night. Twenty-Five of the so in
jured were brought to Middleton by
train and the, others BY. trolley, and
auDmobiles, J..<.,lE {
First aid to the injured, was rem
tdered at the scene. of the: wreck by
two physicians who were passense gers
on the train.
The scene was 'one of the greatest
confusion. 1t was pitch dark and
misting, and the only light was that
given by two 'trainmen's lanterns,
which had survived the shock of the
wreck.
With handkerchiefs and the torn
clothing of the passengers the doc
tors bound up the injured, assisted
by Harold King, of Middleton, med
ical student, who himself was badly
hurt about the head and body. De-
spite long scalp wound. and two
broken ribs, King labored strenuous
ly for several hours among the injur-
ed.
The nearest station to the wreck
is. Maromas, a mile and a half south,
and it.. was not until brakeman
could reach that place on foot over
the ties that assistance could be sum-
moned.
An ambulance with doctors was
sent from the Middleton hospital and
the entire staff Of the state hospital
Tor the insane also LETT for the scene
in automobiles. @-'s=.-.7
The railroad authorities said at
first that the wreck was due to
spreading rails. Men were working
on the track I'll Monday afternoon
and the ground was soggy from a
three-days' rain. One locomotive
and two baggage cars went down a
35-foot embankment, almost into the
Connecticut river. The eight passen-
ger coaches were thrown in all di-
rections.
!, OF, the sixty or more passengers
who were hurt in the wreck, one is
reported as being near death, and he
is Abram Brown, OF Hartford, who
suffered an injury to his spine. The
hospitals report that the other pa
tients are doing we'll. :. 4
The cause of this wreck is being
looked into. Early Monday morn
ing Superintendent Woodward, of the
Shore Line division, who went to the
scene of the disaster, notified the po-
lice that he found upon close inspec-
ton that the train had been purpose
ly wrecked.

WONDERFUL NATURAL BRIDGE
Perhaps the Largest In the Whole
World is Located in South
western Utah.

Salt Lake City Utah.-The largest
natural bridge in America, ii not, in
deed, in the whole world, is the
George Natural Bridge in southwest
ern Utah, not far from the state
boundary line. It's total length be-
tween the huge natural abutments is
about 200 feet; the width of the
roadway" is some 35 feet, while the
span in the clear is about 80 feet.
From the bed up the span is 100 feet.
At the bottom flows a small water
course.
Just what produced this work of ma
ture has for some time puzzled the
leading scientists of the country. 1t
could scarcely have been created by
the wear of the water, unless there
was very large and swife current
flowing where the little brook is now.
The general explanation is that vol

agency. The existence of t,.11unI )
