A train ot 134 loaded coal cars
the total tonnage of which was
8300 was started out from Archer
Wednesday morning to make the
run to Sidney, but unfortunately
when it readied Egbert the engine
which was pulling it No. 1504
slipped a tire and the train had to
be split in two sections and side
tracked until other engines could
be sent to its relief. It was ex
pected that the train would make
the run to Sidney at an average
speed of twenty-five miles an hour.
It was composed entirely of steel
coal cars ot a uniform size and
those who saw it coming down the
hills said that it made a vcrv
fascinating sight, It was over a
mile in length. It was storming
quite hard when the train was
started and that caused the ac
cident to the engine. The experi
ment will probably be repeated
as soon as enough of the steel coal
cars are secured to make the train
long enough.
We have just listed with us for
sale some very choice property
which can be purchased for specu-
