FREAK ACCIDENT OCCURRED
WHEN BRIDGE GAVE WAY
BENEATH, TRAIN.


Quaint and curious are many OF the
mishaps Of the rail. says the Railway
Mans Magazine. When signals are
not seen or orders go wrong, and the
old girl finds herself either atop OIL
some piece of rolling stock or lying
on her back In ditch. there may be
more than the disaster itself to cause
wonderment Many old-time western
railroad men will remember a train
load of wheat that broke in two on
the old California Pacific railroad be.
tween Suisuin and Summit, Cal. There
were fourteen flat cars loaded with
the grain, bound for Vallejo. Two
hogs were putting their sides out get
ting the drag up the hill, when the
link and pin between the sixth and.
seventh cars parted and the tail
started down the grade
The hind shack had gone up ahead,
thinking all was safe, and there was
no one to apply the brakes The eight
cars gained a pretty lively momentum
as they dashed down the grade The
crew Of the mixed regular which hap
pened to be approaching the old town
of Bridgeport saw them coming.
Both trains were on the same track,
but the mixed was nearing a switch
Old Jim Ireland the eagle-eye of the
mixed, hustled up to the switch, let
his fireman down to open it and
backed into the clear.
The eight runaways took the switch
clean, but went off the embankment
and into the soft tule land of the vi
cinity, Every car remained right side
up, and not sack Of wheat was lost.
| In Southern Colorado, several years
ago heavy rains caused washout
and carried away bridge. Over a
span Of some fifty feet nothing was
left but rails and crossties. A freight
came along in the night. The engin-
eer felt the rails sag and applied the
air. The locomotive ran onto the
hanging rails, but the fishplates held
and further disaster was averted.
What is supposed to be one of the
greatest freaks in railroad accidents
happened to a Cumberland Valley
drag near Harrisburg. Pa. The drag
was standing on the main westbound
track, and the hind end was unpro-
tected. AZ passenger engine left the
depot about II o'clock at night and
leaped into the car. The car was load
ed with pig iron ore. Early the next
morning the wrecker lifted the engine
out of the car. Only the brake rig
ging was deranged and the engine
: went out on her regular run that
night.
In a head-on collision on North

sNArcHEs PocKETRooK

Trinidad Colo, Aug. 2S.-A un.
known man, described as being six
feet in height and drug fiend, short
ly before O'Clock last night snatched
wallet containing $3.50 in currency,
the property Of man whose name has
not been ascertained. and dashing out
Of the door Of the Main saloon, made
his getaway. Though policeman
took up the trail OF the unknown some
ten minutes later no trace Of the
purse snatcher was found, and the
thief is still at large. It is presumed
that he left the city on the first train.
The man who owned the heavy wal.
let together with some friends were
having a few drinks together last
night. The tall stranger, with sallow
cheeks and hungry eyes was standing
before the bar as nonchalantly as a
millionaire spending nickel. The fel-
low with the greenbacks became
wrought up in conversation and TAX
ing off his coat, laid 1t across the bar
declaring that he was ready to fight
all comers, In the inside pocket was
the big wallet. The tall stranger
seized it and dashed out the saloon
door, He was out Of sight before the
stupefied spectators of the theft could

called and wandered away with thu
usual prayer that he would run across
the wallet snatcher, but he never did.

.ARMIJO resigns
TO JOIN THE
MOOSE
CLERK or CORPORATION COM.
MISSION SAYS He is A
PROGRESSIVE.

Santa Fe, N. M Aug. %. Some
excitement in political circles was evi-
dent here today over the announce
ment that George W. Armijo, chief
clerk for the corporation commission,
and lifelong republican, had re-
signed his position and announced his
alliance with the progressive party,
It is said that the members Of the
corporation commission were not ex-
actly satisfied with Mr.. ArmiiO's work
and the charge has been freely made
that the chief clerk neglected his du-
ties and devoted too much time to
outside business.
Armijo has long been active in re-
publican affairs in Santa Fe. He
was leading candidate for secretary
Of state before the Las Vegas con
vention, and falling to secure the
nomination he was given place on
the ticket as candidate for a place
on the corporation commission, being
the only republican defeated for that
office. He was appointed chief clerk
Of the commission, following its or
ganization, upon the recommendation
of the republican state executive
committee.
Other recruits to the progressive
party announced today are Ricardo
Alarid and Fred Delgado. Alarid has
been prominent in republican coun
ellis while Delgado has been equally
prominent in the ranks of the democ
racy.
Armijc to Take Stump,
Il have no feeling against my for
mer political associates" said Mr.
Armijo today, "and fully appreciate
all that they have done for me, but
everybody in joining the new party
and l want to get in the game. Nine
ty-nine out Of every hundred people
that have talked to recently are
for the progressiyes. The change Ii
bound to come and want to aligT
myself with the new party and ge
into the campaign vigorously for th'
election of Colonel Roosevelt and thu
national and state candidates Of th'
progressive party"
Mr.. Armijo returned yesterday from
Kansas City, where he represente'
the local lodge at the national cor
vention Of the Loyal Order Of Moose
He served In Cuba with colone
Roosevelt as a sergeant in Troop
Of the Rough Riders and has Away
been a warm admirer of the forme
