JtEMAKKABLE ESCAPE. ,
Train No. 6 I Us Unheard of Karaite
From Wreck Early This horning.
Remarkable in the extreme was the
manner In which freight train No. 56
escaped a serious wreck ' early this
Morning when Just outside of the yard
' limits. Presumably at the steel bridge
one wheel of a box car truck spilt a
trifle to one side, of the diameter line.
Instantaneously the brake bonm ots
knocked sldewlse and the point of the
brake shoe burled Itself In the face of
the wheel preventing further turning.
Had the split wheel revolved a half
i revolution the train would have been
ditched. Remarkably, too, none of the
crew noticed the mishap, and for the
rest of the distance to the yards, the
wheel skidded along the rails.
Railroad men who have seen the
break affirm that it is one of the big
gest pieces of luck that has befallen n
O. R. & N. train for a long time.

this winter, in fact, is much colder
than usual, as the next lowest point
