ENGlNEMEN NEAR DEATH.
Weak Coupling Saves Crew From Be-

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, May 22.-The breaking
OF the connection between the engine
and tank on an Illinois Central freight
train. last night. probably saved the
engine men from being carried to death
Oft the high bridge here in the Iowa
river. seventy feet below. A west bound
freight was pullig out of the yards and
the engine had just reached the bridge
when a box car loaded with cereal
jumped the track and plunged down
the embankment at the east abuttment
OF the bridge. In its crash it took
with 1t the tender Of the engine, which
struck the river bed seventy-two feet
below and landed bottom side up. The
bar or connections between the engine
and tank broke or the wreckage would
have pulled the locomotive off the
bridge and hurled it TO the bed OF the
river. In such an event the escape y.
the enginemen would have been little
short Of miraculous. The east end Of
the bridge was more or less damaged
and retarded traffic for severa! hours.
The wrecker arrived yesterday ana
