He was thrown about his private car
when the special hit a spot in the
track where the rails had spread
Engineer Nichols was the only one
injured, although the tracks were
plowed up for a distance of three
hundred yards. Members of the
governors party crawled through
windows of the coaches to safety.
The wreck necessitated a detour
through Maricopa and Deming. Cox
was expected to reach Albuquerque
at noon today, where he will resume
his schedule.
The noted Cox luck seemed to be
in evidence at the wreck. 1t was a
miracle that no one was killed or
seriously injured, Trainmen admit
ted that when the second engine turn
ed over, oil which it was using for
fuel began leaking from the tank.
There was danger of an explosion as
the fires beneath the locomotives
boiler were not extinguished when the
engine was wrecked.
Santa Fe officials, it was said, had
against making the trip
with heavy engines and Pullmans over
the branch line as the track was
known to- be in bad condition.
Many northern Arizona people were
on the train accompanying Cox to
Prescott and were forced to return to
Phoenix.
Another sleeper was picked up at
Phoenix for the newspaper men who
occupied. the car that wasi ditched.
