nesday morning he slipped and fell
striking hta knee either on the ten
der foot board or on the low switch
which was beside the engine, in
dieting an ugly Hesh wound. He
was takeif home and ths wound
dressed, Although thej wound it
very painful it is not very serioim
but it will be some time before he
can walk with any degree of com

occurred the engine was moving,
but at a very slow rate of speed.
Nearly all of the trains from the
cast which connect with the North
western are late now-a-days. The
trainmen claim that it is owing to
the heavy business the North
western Is handling, it being almost
imnosMltlu to handle it on its siiilmc
track. The road will soon be
doubletrackcd the entire distance
from Chicago into Omaha and then
traffic can be handled to greater
advantage. The 'railroad prophets
claim that the doublettnckinir of'
the Union Pacific is not very far
distant, ubpecially if the traffic
keeps increasing as it has during
the past year.
The rumor that the Northwestern
is seeking an entrance into Salt
Lake City Is again afloat, and this,

access to the capital of Mormondotn.

RICHARDS. THE FAIR.
P
is only 500 miles from the Mormon
city. It is claimed that the conntrv
through which the road will run in
quite accessible, and the building
will not be very difficult. The rea
son given for this move is that tha
traffic arrangement with the Union
L'acitic may be terminated as soon
as the Illinois Central Is completed
into Omaha, and it will then bi
without a western outlet. "

an.r,mrrrad-
sections of train -No. 1 had itist.
gone west. The wreck was reported
at Sutherland and the natural
supposition was that one of those
trains had been wreckad. II
afterwards developed that the
wreck at Sutherland was only a
slight one, three empty flat curs.
and the principal wreck was at
Pine Bluffs. The wreck at Suther
land was caused by a car breakinif
down and piling up two others. The.
wrecking train cleared it tin and'
went on to Pine IJIuffs where there
had been a tail end collision, an
extra having run into train No. 22.
The caboose and several cars were
smashea up and it i h reported
that one man was hurt.
The use of crude petroleum by the
Union Pacific on its road-bed to
keep the dust ddwn and preserve
the ties has not, thus far, proven
very much of a success, About
14,000 gallons of crude petroleum
were sprinkled for a distance oi
four and one half miles ulonir the
O. & R." V. division, in Saunders
crmnty. Within twelve hours after
it had been sprinkled sparks from
the fire box set the oil afire and it
was necesbary to call out the sec
tion men, who smothered it out by
throwing dirt on it and ever since
then it has been necessary to send
out a man on a railroad velocipede
after every train which gocB over
the oiled hection in order to put
out the fires, The H. & M. has
had excellent results from its ex
perience with the petroleum and in
tends to continue its use.
Owing t'9ja lack of power the
wrecking train failed to make Its
usual time in getting out of the
yards, last night.
