THINK EXPLOSION
DUE TO FRICTION

The board appointed to make
inquiries into the wreck of the
Southern Pacific near Gregory
last week, caused by an explosion
OF powder, found by the process
of elimination the fire causing the
powder to explode must have orig
mated in the car. Ignition was
probably caused bv some of the
kegs being displaced or broken
somewhere enroute, thereby al
lowing friction either with each
other or with the bracing or floor
ing of the car which created a
spark. The board visited the
scene of the accident and careful.
ly examined the equipment, track
and effect of the explosion, and
also heard the testimony of the
train and engine crews and 9TH
ers who were in the vicinity of the
accident. In every particular they
found the train in first class con-
dition, and had been carefully in
spected by a train crews at Ash
land and SiskiyOu.
