After Train Passed Over II.

Downey Idaho.-A hundred feet of
track and a slxteen-foot embankment
were carried away early Friday morn
ing at point ten miles north of here
on the Oregon Short Line, by ter
rife clondburst, only a few minutes
after the Yellowstone Park special
passed over the track. The special,
which was returning from the park
was heavily loaded and its safe pas
sage over the doomed track is con
sidered almost miraculous Meyers

of the washout. and another man, saw
the work of the cloudburst and while
one rushed to the nearest station TO
notify the dispatcher of the trouble,
the other remained at the scene of
disaster and tagged the next train
which was known to be due In a

the cloudburst but considerable dam
age was done in addition TO that tc
