Pueb!o.-Three men were killed,
four were injured. while several 9TH
ers whose bodies have not been re-
covered. are believed to have been
hurled in the debris. when the engine
of an extra freight train comprising
thirty-two cars and caboose left the
rails on the main line OF the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad near the Good
night ranch. six miles west of Pueblo.
and plowed into an embankment.
The wreck is attributed by railroad
officials to the spreading of the rails,
caused by their expansion under IN
tense heat. A repair crew was at work
on the track. over which trains were
passing frequently, when the accident
occurred.
The dead:
John M. Nolan, engineer; crushed
to death in his cab.
Jose Perez. thirty; crushed to death
In refrigerator car.
Juan Sevalues. 90: crushed to death
in refrigerator car.
The injured:
o. V. Hipps. fireman; scalded by es-
CdplHS StedT1 anu DTulSeu III Ju1upilS
to safety from cab.
Charles Barone. thirty, Shawnee,
Okla. ribs broken and possible inter-
nal injuries.
Andrew Alcon. twenty-eight, Lu-
cerne, N. NJ: bruised and possible in
ternal injuries.
George Lowe. thirty-five. member of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
Sparks. New: broken leg.
Only about half of a band Of twenty
five tramps who were riding the train
toward the wheat fields Of Kansas
have been accounted for. 1t is thought
likely that an examination OF the
wreckage Of the eight cars which fol-
lowed the engine from the rail and
were demolished may reveal more
dead. None of the present list OF
known dead or injured were members
of the train crew except the firemen
and the engineer.
The body of the engineer was dug
from his cab about four hours after
the crash. The force of the impact of
the giant freight locomotive against
the soft dirt embankment forced one
side of the engine into the slope for
several feet. Nolan's skull was
crushed and his body was completely
buried.

Boulder Output Increasing.

Boulder.-That the mining output
OF Boulder county is increasing de-
spite the unusual amount of surface
water in the mountains for this season
of the year. which has materially re-
tarded mining, is evidenced by the fact
that the Chamberlain sampler treated
$50 tons during the first three days OF
June and 395 tons during the month OF
May as compared with 3l4 tons dur
ing the same period in 1913 and $40
tons for the previous month.

Public Opinion,

People say how strong public opin-
ion is: and. indeed. 1t is strong while
it is in Its prime. In Its childhood
and old age 1t is as weak as any other
organism. I try to MAKE my own
work belong to the youth of public
opinion. The history of the world is
the record of the weakness. frailty
and death of public opinion. as geol-
ogy is the record of the decay of those
bodily organisms in which public opin-
ions have found material expression.

 If we can afford it, let us continue the same number of teachers and push the work, if we can not. let us cut the expenses down and if absolute ly necessary, the length of the term and redouble energies and go to work in earnest and when it comes time for admission to the colleges and uni versailles, we will not be troubled seriously over failures at the entrance examinations.
 As to the subscriptions for tuition or building fund, the failure of one or the other or both can not prevent us from having a high school if we are determined to have it. It would be a distinct sign of weakness for com munity as large as this not to have a first class high school. We believe the board is fully able to take care of the financial situation.

AN ANTIDOTE FOR BICHLORID
 POISONING

In recent issue of a prominent journal the statement is made that mercuric chlorid poisoning can be treated by the use of sodium phos- phate with excess of sodium bicarbo- nate. Thus, editorially, the journal says: This solution, it is claimed instantly converts the bichlorid to the mild chlorid, which can be removed by dose of castor oil. It is very necessary that the sodium phosphate shall be chemically pure" Attention should therefore again be called to the fact, says The Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association, that the names sodium phosphate" and "sod- lum phosphite" are so similar that a serious error can be made by the mis- printing or the misinterpretation of single letter. Sodium phosphite has been suggested as an antidote to mer curlc chlorid because it acts as a re- duclng agent to convert mercuric chlo- rid into calomel-Mercurous chlorid- while the phosphite is changed to phosphate. Sodium phosphate will have no such action on mercuric chlo rid because it is already as highly oxi dized as possible.
