Freight WRECK
ONE HAN KILLED, One FATALLY IN
JURED and two SLIGHTLY lNJUR.
ED IN TRAIN WRECK AT DANA
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON ;,

On of the worst wrecks that has
happened in this section for sever
al years past occurred at Dana yes
terday afternoon about 4:30 when
10 cars went into the ditch.
The wreck was caused by a carrier
arm on the fourth a back of the
engine doping into a switch point.
This caused the rails to spread and
10 ears to go into the ditch. The
principal damage was done to the
fourth and NTH arr back of the
engine, which were loaded with
plate glasA The fourth car went
over onto the East bound track and
completely tied up traffic until IL
o'clock last night. The ether IS
cars went into the ditch on the right
side of the track and did mot hinder
traffic.
In the first car to go into the
ditch, which was a gondola, four
men were beating their way west.
These men were all thrown from
the car and all more or less injured.
One of these men, Lee Newton, of
Mountain Home, Arkansas. was kill
ed instantly, his chest being terribly
CT ushed. Another man, whose name
Is believed to be Chas. Morgan of
idaho Falls, Idaho, suffered a frac-
ture of the skull and 1t Is probable
that he will not live. This man Is
now in the Memorial Hospital where
he is receiving every medical atten-
tion. He has eve regained con-
seriousness so 1t has been impossible
to find out anything definite regard
ing him. He carried a note book
g. it, rAAl.& N,x{kL tLo - DFro y, 1,
bowman, Casper. Wyo., on 1t. On
tattooed. The other two men in
and were not in need OF medical at
tention.
Immediately following the wreck
q call was sent to this city for the
doctors to come to the e of the
accident. DR.. Barber, DR.. Kell, DR..
Jeffrey, Dean Philbrook and Harry
Breitenstein left Immediately with
the wrecker for Dana, a station just
a few miles west of Hanna. When
they arrived there they found that
the three injured men had been
brought to this city or an engine.
Coroner jeffrey states that he ex-
poets to hold the inquest over the
man who was killed within the next
day or so.
None of the members of the train
crew were injured at all in this
wreck.
Although 10 cars went into the
! ditch in this wreck the loss to the
equipment will not be especially
heavy as with the exception Of the
two carr loaded with plate glass all
that will be necessary Will be to get
the cars back on the track. These
cars were not smashed up at all, ac-
cording to those who visited the
wreck.
The wrecktng crews from Rawlins
and> Laramie had the East bound
track. cleared about II O'Clock last
night and expected to have the
West bound track cleared by moor
today.

General Petroleum Camps.

The very last rig of the G. P. was
recently closed down-with the freez-
ing of the water line supplying sec
ton 81 National. At the home camp
on section 16 the water line froze
up the first time during the history
Of the company. This line was fed
by a big spring at the base of the
Seminoe Mountain and was buried
five feet. There Is sufficient water
from a local source to keep the oil
pumps going and supply the mess
house.

sand Hills Officers Jubilant.

Telephone communication from
the Sand Hills camp last night to
the company office in Rawlins con-
veyed the pleasing Information that
the new pump installed in the No. 2
well was furnishing ell the water
needed ard that a test had been
started on the oil in No. ! we'll. The
first day abort eighty barrels was
tanked without lowering the oil in
the we'll. Yesterday about 100 bar
rels were run without visably effect
ing the oil in the hole and officials
stated that additional oil would be
taken each day until the maximum
supply was reached. 1t is quite evil
dent that the Sand Hills people are
delighted with the showing. An en-
tirely different atmosphere prevails
about their office during the last
few days than for some time past.

data and NO doubt will kick them

Mr.. Gilbert Wood, lease and title
representative of the Southwestern
Petroleum Co., arrived in Rawlins
last Monday in connection with the
recent burning of their drilling out
fit southeast OF Rawlins. The report
as secured from Supt. Oberlee a few
minutes before The Republican went
to press last week Is substantially
correct. although several daily papers
the following day carried stories that
the fire started from having drilled
into a gas sand. Mr.. Wood denies
this statement, but adds that J.. C.
Forquer and A. 8. Aselting, driller
and tool sharpener respectively, were
quite badly burned about the face
and hands. They were given i'm
mediate treatment and rapid recovery
is anticipated without serious results
from the scorching. The rig was To-
Gated on 25-18-s5 and is being re-
built quickly.

fortune to lose a new two-ton truck

best information obtainable, three
men had loaded the truck with equip
ment which was being moved from
one rig to another camp. The roads
have been changed from the usual
route to the top of ridges wherever
practical on account Of deep drifts
In the low places. AS the truck

escape with a terrific noise. The
driver stopped the car at once and by

ignRed from the truck exhaust. All
three men were enveloped instantly

engine was killed, the new truck
soon burning to a complete wreck.
