Freight Stopped to Take Coal
and Passenger Crashed Into
Rear, wrecking Engine
Was NO Loss OF LIFE

A railroad wreck in the Rio Grande
yards Tuesday afternoon caused con.
siderable excitement and the report
that several people had been killed. A
call was sent to Glenwood for all tho
doctors and all who could be found
were hurried to the scene, but forum.
ately there was little for them to do.
An eastbound freight train pulled in.
to the yards in West Glenwood shortly
before the time for eastbound passen.
ger No. l6 to arrive, and pulled up to
the chutes to take coal. The freight
was in charge of Conductor j. w. Cal.
hoon and he and his head brakeman
We're soon at the front of the train,
evidently with the idea that after the
engine was coaled there would be time
enough to get out of the way of No. 16.
The passenger train was right on
time, however. and the rear brakema "
on the freight had neglected to protect
his train by tagging the passenger
which chashed into the freight train
with terrific force, splitting the ca
boose right in two. the passenger en-.
ginc plowing its way through the ca
boose and the next car to it and half
way through another car when it turned
over flat on its side in complete wreck.
The two rear cars were loaded with
potatoes which were scattered all over
the yards.
When Price Dittman, the passenger
engineer, saw the freight train ahead
of him and realized that it would be
impossible for him to stop his train be
fore the impact came he applied the
air and he and his fireman, Chunk"
Templeton, both jumped and thus saved
their lives. Dittman suffered badly
sprained shoulder but was not otherwise
injured and was able to return to his
home Tuesday evening. Templeton
was badly shaken up and bruised but
aside from that and something Of .
Eervous shock was none the worse Ser
the experience.
Passengers on the train suffered but

thrown out Of their seats by the impact
while one lady, Mrs. q. A. Collins, Of
Columbia, No., who was given con.
siderable shakeup was removed from
the train and taken to the Glenwood

BIG TINE AT RIFLE

The annual Apple Pie celebration
which was given at Rifle Thursday and
Friday of this week was a great sue
cess and the many who attended from
Glenwood were greatly pleased at the
opportunity to visit their good neigh
bors down the river and to participate
with them in their annual festival.
The attendance from this place was
large, nearly every one making the trip
by auto. The excellent character of
the roads, the perfect weather and the
cordial manner in which they were
greeted by the good people of Rifle
made the trip a most delightful one
and one that will not soon be forgotten.

HIGH PRICED ELBERTAS

a car of Grand Valley Elberta
peaches sold at auction in Boston Sat
urday or Monday, brought the splendid
figure of $l.55 per box. This will net
the growers $l.25 box here. Manage
}. NJ. Silcox of the Grand Junction
Fruit Growers association said last
night that the offer to pay cash for
peaches was withdrawn Saturday night
as needless because in the ten DAYS tho
offer was out only 600 boxes of peaches
were purchased for cash, the growers
preferring to trust to the association
to get them better than 65 cents box.
The growers will be overjoyed by the
news of $l.55 auction sale as it looks

number was well presented aid some

point of view possibly the electric

and the little tots with their dollies
quite won the audience. Each AMI

COTTON MARKET
 CLOSES STEADY
Moderate Early Advance Followed by Easier
 Turn

New York, July 13.-A moderate early advance was followed by an easier turn in the cotton market during today's late 12 9Sc to 12.S9c and closing at 1291c. The general list closed steady at an advance of 1 point to a decline of points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in response toI relatively steady cables, and after some little irregularity sold about to points net higher during the middle of the day. Offerings were restricted by uncertainty as the probable course of the storm, which was reported to be increasing in in- tensity in the Carribean sea, and prices were influneced by comparatively light demand. Trade interests were among the seemed to come from covering by shorts, with the trade evidently disposed to wait for further developments in connec- ton with tropical storm possibilities or for some change in the spot situation Offerings increased slightly around 1315c for December and 13.20c for January, however, and the market turned easier during the afternoon under scattering liquidation which seemed to come large ly from Wall street sources The scoree of the selling suggested that it might have been influenced by the easier ruling of the stock market but there were also rumors that private crop report would be issued within a day or two, and would show an improvement in prospects since the end of last June. December eased off to 13.05c while January sold back to 13.11c, with active months generally work ing ? to points under last nights clos ing figures Closing prices were within point or two of the lowest in most in- stances. Liverpool buying of March con tracts was a feature the early ad- vance, and in connection with the rela- lively firm cables, probably inspired a good part of the local covering.

EUROPEAN DEMAND
 STRENGTHENS PRICE.
Fresh Gains in Wheat Values Scored in Chicago
 Market

Chicago, July 1S.-wheat scored fresh gains in value today, owing largely to reports of broadening European de- mand The market, although unsettled at the close, was 1kc to 5sc net higher, with July at 1.101s and September at s111Ad1. IFS. In corn, the outcome was A@ssc to 5sc up; oats were down a shade to A@3sc and provisions unchanged to 71ac lower.
 Bulls in wheat made confident start, influenced chiefly by dispatches from Liverpool admitting that enlargement of the call for shipments from America had been brought about as a result of misgv- ings concerning black rust danger in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Besides weather conditions in the states referred to were not of a reassuring kind, and there was gossip that seaboard exporters appeared to be liberal buyers of future deliveries here and at Winnipeg However, no ac- tual damage from black rust seemed as yet to have been suffered, and predictions of 8 big yield in Canada tended to cause a period of profit taking sales by hold CTS and to occasion something of a dis play of pressure from speculative bears
 Higher prices for new wheat at Kansas City helped to rally the market here IS the session approached a close. Export CTS were said to be paying to cents advance in Kansas. Omaha, was said to have sold 100000 bushels to the eaboard and there were reports of good bids at the Gulf of Mexico. Mills in the south west complained of slowness of sales by farmers.
 Corn reflected the strength of wheat. Absence of rain acted also as an incen- tive to buy, and there were late advices that owing to lack of moisture the leaves
 in southern Illinois fields were beginning to curl. Unwelcome high temperatures and active demand from the seaboard tended to lift oats. Free selling by lead- ing houses, though. was in the end more than offset.
 Provisions gave way as a result of lack of support. Higher quotations on hogs appeared to be virtually ignored. Future quotations were as follows 1:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S better

New York, July -(Special.)-The foreign market was better than due this morning and these cables had some influ- ence on prices here, our market being 3 to points higher than yesterday. The bank of England rate was advanced per cent and this had some influence on the Liverpool market, since it led to appre- hepsion lest tight money might hinder the further replenishment of the Liver pool stock.
 The market here was very small in character the principal feature being the general lack of outside buying and some further liquidation of cotton bought on reports of storm damage
 There was some buying for Liverpool account, sufficient in volume to absorb the liquidation. The most recent dis turtance in the gulf is still in the eastern Caribbean and its future course remains uncertain. The storm has exercised a strengthening influence upon the market. which fears that 1t might work into the belt again.
