Fnst Freight Wrecked.
The second section of train No. 19
was wrecked just cast of the bridge
shortly before two o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. The train had a double-
header on and was coming at a
pretty rapid rate when the draw
head of the twenty-fourth car broke
and dropped causing fifteen cars to
leave the track. The head engine,
which was in charge of Jack Sulli
van, was cut loose from the train
and came to town and Mr. Sullivan
notified the officials of the wreck.
The wrecking train was leavinir the
yards eight minutes after the
wnistle blew. In the mean time
the rear engine had brought the
twenty-three cars which were not
derailed to town. The caboose and
two of the rear cars also staid on
the track. Of the fifteen derailed
cars eight were aoon put back on
the track but seven were so badly
wrecked that six of them were
burned in the ditch aud the remain
ing car will require considerable
repairing before it can be used.
Five of the seven cars which were
so badly wrecked were refrigerator
cars and although they arc the
heaviest" and most strongly built
cars on the road they were stove in
as if they were so many egg shells.
Some of the trucks were buried sev
eral fcat-in the sand. ...
The cars were all loaded with
merchandise and after the wreck
fresh hams, cove oysters, and
postum were scattered around on
the prairie. All the merchandise
which was good for anything was
picked up and after being loaded
into other cars was sent on west.
The wreck tore up quite a stretch
of track but it was cleared away
sufficiently to commence the recon
struction of the track by seven
o'clock and by nine o'clock trains
were passing over it.
No one was injured by the wreck
but the loss of property amounts
to considerable. The work of clear
ing it up was finished yesterday.
It was extremely for tunate that it
did not happen on the bridge as it
would have been exceedingly hard
to handle there.
As the wreck was so close to
town it proved to be quite a Mecca
for sight-seers and a large number
of North Platte people visited it.
