As the west bound time freight
was pulling into town at $50 o'clock
Wednesday morning, two cars in the
middle of the train left the rails at the
feeding yard switch and plowed along
the track for several rods, until one
loaded with merchandise plunged down
the high grade until one end rested in
the creek and the other pointed up the
inclined bank. The other, fiat car
loaded with coal, lay across the track
with one end tilted toward the creek.
By the aid of an engine the coal car
was sent rolling down the bank and
landed right side up in the middle of
the creek The track was thus cleared
for traffic, but the early Milwaukee
train was delayed nearly two hours at
this station.
