Many of the public school .teach
ers nave planned to spend tne
Christmas' holidays at their various
homes throughout the state, while
students of the academy will also
scatter in all directions. Those
teachers and pupils who are too far
away to make the trip home will re
main In this city to keep company
with those who have special work to
perform during the recess.
The class work of the year so far
in both the ,high and grade schools,
as well as the academy, has been en
tirely satisfactory to instructor, pupil
and patron and it is doubtful If con
dit'ons throughout the schools were
ever more satisfactory at the arrival
of the Christmas holidays than they
are this year.
llnrbor Shops Will Close.
Tr wna annonnneri thla mnrnlnir
that the barber shops of the city will
close at noon, Saturday, Christmas

Air Escapes from Brakes. .
While it is not known for a cer

of the peculiar accident is
that the air suddenly escaped and

grade with nothing to obstruct Its
progress. Swiftly but noiselessly, the
wheels began turning and it was Just
going out of Bight down the moun
tain when the trainmen discovered
it. As quickly as possible they start
ed in pursuit, but they did not dare
go as fast as the train and so were
unable to keep In sight of It.
The operator at Kamela Immediate
ly wired Meacham to look out for the
runaway train. As soon as he re
ccived the message he rushed out on
to the platform and the flying string
of freight cars was even them coming
round the curve Into Meacham. Call
ing to some Greek laborers to get
way from the track he ran across
onto the open space in front of the
depot, expecting to see the flying cars
fall to make the curve and crash in
to the depot.
Pass Meacham Like Flash.
The long train was by like a flash
and William Dahzlel, the factory In
spector who was at Meacham at the
time, says the smoke was coming
from a hundred wheels.
Dahzlel followed on down to the
scene of the wreck on the locomotive
which "had stopped at Meacham for
news of the runaway. He says he
cannot understand how the long string
of cars succeeded in taking the tunnel,
this aide of Meacham and then negoti
ating all the sharp curves and pass
ing over the high trestle. According
to thefactory Inspector the first cars
to leave the track were a car load ot
lumber and one of wheat located In
th'e very middle of the train. What
caused them to spring out of the mid
dle of the train and allow the rest
of It to proceed on half a mile down
the road before five or six more cars
were piled to one side will never be
known. The second bunch did not
stop the wild rush and it was a quarter
of a mile further down the line that
six or seven other cars left the rails
and a quarter of a mile further come
the smashup in front, which stopped
the procession.
Dahziel says the first two cars to
leave the train must have shot straight
into the air' for the first place they
hit was 50 feet from the track. There
was Just one big scar in the snow to
1 mi'.rk this spot and when they came
i down again they were a hundred feet
I down the canyon. When they stopped
, both of them were in the very bottom j
of the canyon and lumber and grain
was left to mark their path for a quar
ter of a mile.
Oddly enough the caboose and six
i. nr !o. is of livestock wore the only
ones which did not leave the rails.
Sixteen cars were totally destroyed
nnd many were seriously damaged.
The loss will amount up Into the
thousands of dollars fir in addition,
to the actual loss sustained by the
railroad company, many of the wreck
ed cars were loaded with hlph class
merchandise.
Many Now Klks.
Notices sent local members of the
Elks by Secretary Thomas Fltz Ger
ald state that at the next meeting of
the lodge, to be held Thursday even
