A "hot box" caused one pair of trucks on a freight car of a south brund train to Jump the track. The siren was summoning a wreck crew. Multiple effect This reporter and Herald -News Sports Editor Red Hurd were manning the Herald Hews newsroom while regular night man Dave Underhill was out for dinner. , ' Phone Flood ' Scant seconds after the wailing of the siren had ceased the battery of newsroom phones began Jangling. I "What in tarnation has busted loose." was the typical query of ' one of the constant phoners. I Manning two phones each. Red and I finally managed to get In a few outgoing calls but could ascer tain only that there was some kind of a rail wreck "near Ouxy." (SP later reported that during those same hectic minutes their phone switchboard was also swamped with calls.) Away! Herald-News Reporter Hale Scar b rough arrived and took over the newsroom so Red and I could get to the -wreck." High on the steep highway 97 bluff near Ouxy. we spied the lights of a. standing locomotive on the lake-side tracks far below. There was no sign of life or ac tivity and nothing appeared amiss. However, we had to get the story and Red Jockeyed his car to a hair raising perch off the road on the lip of a precipice. Down, Dowa Slipping and sliding our way down the almost sheer, boulder strewn and bramble entangled hill. Red gashed his hand on a rock and I, whooping when bounding rock hit my foot, propelled my loose bridgework out of my mouth Into the rough darkness. We were finally blocked, some 10 feet short of the railway tracks, by a pesky fence but a railroader came walking down the track and answered our yells. We learned the minor nature of the "wreck" and disgustedly began our climb back to the road. Fennd! I had practically given my bridge work up for lost but when we came to the approximate spot, the red head Insisted on having a look. After his second or third match, he suddenly yipped: "Either a gopher Is grinning out of his hole at me or I've found the teeth." Miraculously, it was crock ery chompers and we continued our climb to the car. Back in the Herald and News newsroom, we found that City Edi tor Lois Stewart and Photographer Wes Ouderlan had also answered the siren's call. Day's End So. five weary newspaper workers kidded a bit and went their several says. Another "big" story had been 'w rapped up."
