MIXED UP IN TRAIN WRECK
Two Rocky Ford People Had Thrill.
ing Time in California

Miss Mary Shumate and William
Green reached their homes in this city
on Saturday night and brot the first
word of train wreck in which they
were mixed up on the way home from
California.
The homecoming Fordites left Los
Angeles in the midst of binding
snowstorm-the worst that has visited
California in decade, 1t is reported
and had got but short distance from
San Bernardino when the California
flyer collided with an accommodation
train that was stalled in the snow.
The shock of the collision was terrific
and dashed Judge Green-who was
standing at the time-upon the floor of
the car, battering him up quite badly.
Miss Shumate luckily escaped injury
and after the panic had subsided looked
after the swants of our police Judge,
who says he was in bad shape because
of the shock and ensuing hunger and
cold caused by the long wait until re-
pairs could be made, but he would have
been unable to reach home had it not
been for the kindly attentions of his
townswoman and couple of brother
Elks who were amongst the passengers.
