Ute OPERATOR |.
PREVENTS :: WRECK
North Western Agent and Two Farm.
.ers Principals in Sensational
g. Action-PreventedW Wreck
FLAG TRAINS WITH LANTERNS
Operator Larsen Of Ute Overheard
Orders and Later Discovered
They Were Mixed

UTE, Iowa, August 12.-J. l.. Lar
sen agent for the North Western
railroad here and two farmers. Chris
Bartels and Sam Riddle, were the
principal figures in sensational and
dramatic action which brought two
trains to stop near the Bartles
farm and prevented what would sure
ly have resulted in the worst railroad
wreck imaginable.
Agent Larsen Just before going Off
duty at night, overheard train orders
on the wire which excited his inter
est and suspicion that something was
wrong. 1t is explained that the dis
patcher at Sioux City had ordered No.
e., fast freight westbound and No.
20, the fast eastbouhd mail. to meet
at Smiths Siding. between Ute, and
Mapleton A later order was given
for the trains to meet at Ute.
Responsibility from this time on Is
said to lay with telegraph operator
at Charter Oak. 1t is said that he re-
ceived the second order but in de-
livering his orders to the engineer
and conductor OF the frefgnt train
failed to give them the second order,
changing the meeting place.
Both trains had left their stations
and were speeding towards each
other with nothing in the world but
a miracle to prevent their crashing
together, when Agent Larsen got on
he WIRE He had heard the orders
given and was in the station about {
o'clock in the evening when the
freight went through Ute without
even hesitating. He jumped to the
key and calling Map!eton asked about
the mail train and was told it had
left there.
Larsen's mind was in a whirl. But
he proved equal to the occasion. He
called Bartels and Riddle on the
telephone and fortunately got an un-
usually quick connection. To them he
quickly explained the situation. Both
men hurried to the track with Ian
terms and succeeded in stopping the
freight train Just as the passenger
train was nosing around the hill at
top speed. The trains when brought
a stop were close together.
