Ws HwuiS, Gibbon and according to local train- ' men It was probably : the narrowest escape from a disastrous train wreck the O. R. & N. has had In years, re lates the Pendleton East Or egonlan . No. 6, heavily laden with eastbound passengers, was rushing toward Gib bon and Toad entered the last block before that station, when Greeks who wero dropping empty cars down" fror.! the coal chute permitted three of them to escape from thelf control. The cars dashed down fhe"-steep . incline,' out onto the main line and .headed for Pendleton at a terrific rate of speed. As the passenger: train was already In the block there was not the slight est chance that she could be warned of the Impending disaster. Engineer Gibson was oiling his big helper engine when he witnessed the escape of the cars. - Realizing the Im portance of prompt action he did not hesitate a moment but swung himself into his cab and started in pursuit of the runaways. Though this was but the work of a minute the escaped cars were already far on their way toward the oncoming train and though Gibson pulled the lever back to the last notch, throwing the throt tle, wide open, In the wild race down the track, two miles were covered be fore the cars were overhauled In the very face of the passenger. Then began the race back to the station and the helper with its runaway cars was barely sent flying onto a side track as the train came thundering In. A delay of a minute or possibly the fraction of a minute would have meant a great disaster and great loss of life 4b O .$ A KOUAD , HOUSE SEWS fr 0 & 4 & & 4K 4 O Conductor Fergus will soon move his family to Pendleton from where ho will run on the Pendleton-Huntington main line passenger service.'
