FREIGHT TRAIN
WSECKED NEAR
Nl JBRARA RIVER
Four Cars Go Into the IMtcIi
and Stop Traffic for Nearly
Ten Hours.
NO ONE SERIOUREY HURT
A wreck occurred Tuesday about
2:30 : p. m. , at the mouth of the
canyon south of the Niobrara
bridge , piling up four box cars of
No. 81 and causing a delay of sev
eral hours.
The wreckers from Longpine
and Chadron cleaned up the wreck
in a short time after their arrival.
The cause is said to be undue ex
pansion of the rails , as it was a
hot day and , especially so in the
mouth of the canyon. Possibly
the breaks were set too suddenly
on the engine or the cars in front ,
or not enough on the hind part of
the train. There is a heavy down
grade just before reaching the
bridge across the Niobrara , and
the train men are expected to bring
their trains to a stop before cross
ing the bridge. The stops are
necessarily abrupt if not checked
all" the way down the canyon.
Beyond a severe jolting up no
one was seriously hurt.
