Freight Wreck 7
(Continued from Pace One

Johns Express to the back road, so
that passengers on that train were
little delayed.
The trouble was believed to have
been caused by q breaking draw
bar. which probably threw one car
off the track and several others fol-
lowed. The train. Extra 629 West;
was proceeding at a fair speed when
suddenly one of the train men saw
the train buckle" and three Of the
cars went over the bank on the riv-
er side. One of them was thrown
across another in such a way that
the freight car underneath was a
total wreck, while the one which
caused this damage was loaded with
paper and withstood the shock. An
other loaded with bags of potatoes
was catapulted down the bank near
ly to the waters edge and although
racked out of shape did not split
open. Two or three other cars were
overturned and derailed beside the
track and hundreds of bushels OF
fine potatoes were strung along the
right of way.
Waterville were soon on the scene
and the work was begun of clear
ing Aup the track SO that traffic
might be resumed. The cars which
were not badly damaged Were first
set back on the track and the ones
which had not left the rails were
taken to Kennebec Siding or to Riv-
erside SO that the big derricks might
get in their work.
AS soon as those least damaged
had been removed the work OF
Strengthening up the track was be-
gun and this was completed in time
for the morning trains which pass
through this city around o'clock
to make their trips. The Pine Tree
Limited. however. could not make
it's regular trip through Augusta.
Working between trains, the re-
lief crews unloaded the two cars
which were on the river bank and
these were then hauled to the track
and placed on trucks to be taken
to the Waterville repair shops for
much needed repairs.
The property loss was estimated
at approximately $4,000. although
the actual damage will of course be
much more due to the expenses OF
the wrecking crews, the re-routing
of trains and many other items
which are directly chargeable TO the
wreck,

Heavier exports Of lumber, Pc

Japan were unbalanced by lighter
shipments of raw cotton, copper,

a decline attributable largely to the
