Freight Train
Tries to Knock
Depot Over

F'lroence Nov S.-An extra east
bound freight srain, switching on the
house track in the local Rio Grande
yards about 7:3U O'Clock Tuesday eve
ming, backed a string of IA loaded
box cars into the pergola OF the new
station, and the wreck resulted in
damage TO the extent OF several hun
dred dollars. There were seven loads
of merchandise standing on the house
track just north of the old depot. and
the freight had orders to pick two OF
them up.
The freight was pulled by two en-
gines, and in order to pick UP the two
loads the train was cut seven cars
from the engine. These we're backed
into the siding with such force that
the car standing next to the pergola
was driven over two-soot cement
walk and crashed into one OF the sup
porting columns of the porch. with
force enough to demolisb It and to
shower brick in all directions.
The blow which struck the depot
was most terrific and pared the en-
tire structure. The top OF the roof
contains gaping hole where the i'm
pact spent its force. The sill leading
to the ladies' waiting room was so
badly strained that the plastering was
knocked from the wall OF the inte-
rior and the ceiling cracked in many
places.
While at first appearance the dam.
ageappears slight, 1t will require con.
siderable time and expense TO make
repairs for the whole foundation on
the east side OF the station is seem
ingly out of alignment. Agent Grog-
ory. after inspecting the wreck. wired
the officials at Pueblo. asking that
they send man to Florence to esti-
mate the damage and make repairs ms
soon as possible.
