There was another wreck at the
paycar curve, near Benson, last Fri
day, In which two men lost their
lives. The east bound passenger train
was coming down the hill, with two
engines pulling It. The front engine
went of the curve and turned over.
1t pulled loose from the rear engine,
whose front trucks we're derailed but
on the opposite or uphill side. The
whole train pulled by the derailed en-
CINE in safety. When the train crew
got back to the engine II was found
that Fireman w. IL. Dent had been
instantly killed, and Engineer / G..
Coombs was seriously injured. Mr..
Coombs died IN the hospital the next
day. Carl Olden was fireman on the
other engine, and was shaken up and
received a few bruises. This Is the
third wreck at this point. Some years
ago the paycar was ditched there,
which gave 1t the name, paycar curve
A little oyer a year ago a passenger
train was ditched there. The fact
that the pony trucks Of the follow
ing engine were derailed on the OPP
posite side probably saved the train
from going IN the ditch. The brakes
automatically set stopped the train,
with only the pony trucks of the rail.
When the wreckinR crew got there 1t
was not much OF a job TO get them
back, and then the train went ON.
Fireman Dent had not been working
on this road long, coming to It from
the Santa Fe. He had lived In AL
buquerque, where his parents now
are. The body was taken there for
burial Engineer McCoombs was about
ready to quit r~ailroading. He had re-

Some months ago the Southern Pa
ciac concluded to get even with the
world, and adopted through this Sec
ton of the country the time in use
here, mountain time, instead of the
coast time, which 1t had previously
used. The Cinnamon in this country
have followed the example set by the
railroad company, and have adopted
the calendar of the country. Hereto
fore the Chinese New Year was gov
erened by the Chinese astronomers,
who figured it out from the position
Of the moon, and 1t varied from year
to year, as Easter varies. When DR..
Sun started his revolution. to mod
ernize China, he concluded to adopt
the calendar in use over the civilized
world, and issued orders accordingly.
From now on the Chinese will gave
their new year the same time the
rest of the world does, The Chinese
of this country are AL reyolutlonIsts,
and accept the change Of the calen-
dar, except for this year. 1t is a day
Of great celebration with them, and
they make extensive preparations for
1t, laying in large new year supplies.
When Dr.. Sun ordered the change
there was not time to observe the
new year on January 1st, and so as
not to miss the fun, and to dispose of
all the supplies ordered for the cele-
bTation the new year will be observed
this year according to the old calen-
dar, and next year the Cinnamon will
help the Americans make a big noise,
when the new years come.
