HEROIC ACT OF
 DARING PACKER ON
 BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL

Washington.-The daring of a government packer, who stepped among mass of struggling horses loaded with T. N. T. on the brink of the Grand Canyon in ah effort to save his animals, is told today in an official announcement by the National Park Service of the first accident on the Fright Angel Trail. The accident occurred January 20. Three horses out of eleven tied together on the trail went over the brink and were dashed to death below. One fell 1000 feet and his pack saddle was uninjured. Another fell 200 feet with 150 pounds of T. V. T., which did not explode.
 The pack train was carrying ma teria1 for the construction of the sus- pension bridge across the Colorado river over a trail which was slippery with ice and snow. The packers had just led the train beyond the first turn on the trail and had gone to the rear to unite the horses when one of hem beca me excited and crowded the lead horse off the traiI
 Packer Homer ]. Arm managed to get among the eX%ted horses and to cut the rope between three strug- sling animals and the rest of the train.

Signals Perfect, Say Trolley Co. Chiefs At
 Shelton Wreck Probe

Testifying yesterday afternoon at the joint hearing being held by Cor atves of the Public Utilities com mission, on Tuesdays trolley crash at South Shelton, Superintendent Robert L. Kibling, of the local di- Derby car proceeded southward from the South Shelton switch under or ders from Dispatcher W. K. Me Encrowe, of Bridgeport
 kibling told Coroner Phelan that he was standing at McEncrowe's desk about 1:2O o'clock Tuesday af- ternoon when the dispatcher received a call from the crew of the Derby car informing him that the north pound car due to arrive at the South Shelton switch at 1920 D. m., had not put in it's appearance and the signal was not lighted.
 The superintendent said that he fnd call him from that point. He saw the dispatcher enter the report on his sheet, and presented the sheet containing the order. to the court.
 Kibling left McEncrowe's office after seeing the report written on the sheet, but was called back in about five minutes and informed of the wreck, by the dispatcher. He and upon arriving at Cooks turnout noticed that the signal was on.
 Ward Johnson, assistant general line foreman. and John Dickey, sig nal matntainer of the Bridgeport di- vision, both testified that the signals were in good working order after the collision.
 Coroner Phe1an inquired what would happen if both lights Were burning and the motormen at each switch turned their keys simultane- ousiy. Both Johnson and Dickey said that the signals would remain lighted.
 In order that the coroner and C. c. Elwell, of the utilities commission, may get a. practical working demon stration of the signal system, a min iature group of signals will be set up today by the Connecticut company. A model of this nature was formerly used by the company in instructing new men on the use of signals but was destroyed in the fire which gutted the Logan building a few months ago.
 Edward Nolan, of 164 Division avenue, Shelton, conductor of the snow blow which was at the South shelton turnout when the south bound car arrived there. told the coroner that the signal light was out when the car stopped at the switch. He said that Cherrytree borrowed his key to the telephone box for the evil

 Continuing. Nolan said that the and then stopped. Cherrytree got off and called back to Nolan, telling him to inform the Derby dispatcher Joseph Brown, that he had gone down. Nolan said he tried to get Brown on the phone, but could not reach him at that time. While No- Ian was telephoning, James O'Rourke, motorman of the snow blow, told him that the light was out. The south bound car had proceeded in the meantime, according to Nolan. and O'Rourke wondered if it had made Cooks turnout before the Bridgeport car arrived there.
 Joseph Brown, dispatcher on the Derby division, confirmed Nolan's story of the telephone calls. e
 James O'Rourke. of 36 New Haven avenue, Derby, motorman of the snow blow, said that the light was out when the southbound car arrived at the South Shelton switch.
 He informed the coroner that he heard Conductor Robinson, of the southbound car, call the Bridgeport his orders to proceed. After the car had gone about 100 feet Cherrytree stopped the car, got off and called Derby dispatcher that he had gone on.
 When the southbound car was out of sight. O'Rourke noticed that the light was out. He said that a slacken ing of power migh have put out the light, or it might have been dimmed by an extra heavy load on the line.
