Fortunately no one was in jured. Tlie train, of course,' being In the city limits, was moving along at a very slow rate of speed when the split switch at the north .end of the north lead track was struck, and con equently a .serious accident was averted. Ifa<l the train ‘been moving at a speed even as great as 25 or 30 mills an hour a number of lives would no dou'tt have been lost and serious damage would have been the result. Engineer Ross Bur,ray was at the throttle and the train was in charge of Conductnih Eidson, The train was moving up slowly when the plit switch was struck. As soon as Engineer Bur gay realized what had Happened he applied the brakes, but not until the engine, the mail and baggage car had jumped lie track.

The conductor telephoned to t. o city for hacks and several of them soon ar rived and the pastenge;, nail, etc., was brought to the city. The tracks cf the South .n as well se the Coast lan are s .ii Clocked and all trains both passenger and freight, departing and a< iving in the city since the accident, have keen compelled to use the ol Southern tracks around the city.

There were a number of passen gers on the train a:id it is fortunate that th accident, nc- erred in the city limits, • where the train was com pelled to move slowly. Ordinarily, the wreck would have b on a most, serious one. The engineer and fire man, as a-ell as other members of the train crew, escaped without in jury'. Strike Didn't Materialize.
