A backing freight locomotive
struck te motor section car neal
Kelso short distance west of the
California Nevada line, in the
early morning darkness as the men
were starting out to shovel snow
from the tracks near Gina.
Foreman Anderson had brought
out his crew at am, on an emer-
gency call and their car was only
1000 feet away from the section
sheds when the freight engine ran
it down.
Three bodies were hurled to one
side, four were carried 200 feet and
flung into a fill, and the eighth
was $50 feet away from the point
of the accident.
Union Pacific officials were puz-
z.ed over cause of the accident.
The freight engine bound for Gina
to pick up some cars, was backing
along tracks that are usually de-
serted during the early morning
hours.
Railroad men believed the Sec

Coroner R. E. Williams of San

an inquest at Kelso.
The railroad said Identification

the fact that two new men were
scheduled to join the section crew
last night. 1t was not known i'm

had called these men out on the

Where Logic Fails
One of these days RR is going to
get awfully mad at some poor inno-
cent student OF district politics. Why
is it that so many people cannot get
it through their heads that revenue
bonds for district power system
would NOT be paid for out of taxes
that taxes. in fact, NEVER
COULD be levied to pay for them?
II seems SO simple to understand.

T. D. Mccall, who's responsible
for the following entry in RR's
Liars Contest, is a good example of
the sort Of thing RR encounters
now and then, when even one liar
doesn't believe aother. Anyway,
T. D. comes through nobly-and RR
is still about a week behind in pub
lication Of the lies that bury his
desk. Here's today'S:
Pioneers-And Liars.
The truth of early days OF pion-
eering tops the inventions of those
who come after. We we'll remember
when Charlie Nice came in with
the report of his bear Staying.
Mobley Meadows sent some OF us
out to hold an inquest We found
bear-skin overcoat hanging on
mesquite bush-turned wrong side
out. We decided it was the teaulla,
But what I have to tell has nothing
to do with tequila.
I had an appointment with MIS-
jacobson to help him guard his
barley field from ducks. They came
in billions in those days, and not
only destroyed the crops but pud-
died the fields like cement. Arrlv-
ing a little late I found Nils almost
dead. buried Under a pile of ducks.
Nils had a Norwegian double bar
relied shot gun Of enormous size.
He had loaded both barrels accord
ing to his idea Of what was needed.
II was p muzzle loader and the
barrels like cannon, and he had
loaded them about half full. IL
was moonlight and the ground was
covered with ducks. Nils had got
out little late, waiting for US
and when he got to the field the
ducks must have been about three
or four deep. Enraged, Nils fired
both barrels, and when the ducks
flew up there was not one left on
the ground. Some minutes later 1t
began to rain ducks and nearly
killed Nils. 1t was clear they had
to get up and spread out before The
slain ducks had a chance to fall.
We hauled them off in trucks and
swamped the market.

does handicap a fellow" says
eagle. Il sometimes feel that I'd
like to get more punch in my tee
shots. particularly when the course
is soft and heavy, but at the same
time I can't find any fault from the
angle OF having on, hand working
against the other. I find that if
keep to the idea of swinging the club
and not trying to hit the ball too
hard I get along all right"
Howard, 10 years ago, used to be a
really fine hitter from the tee. He
doesn't play as much golf nova days as
he did then, but occasionally he
catches one on the nose and it goes
away from there-far and fast.
