Railroading was tho subject, and oach hail something to say of terrible wrecks or hair-breadth escapes. "I railroaded somo said a si ttlng ovor by tho door, and who so far had taken no apparent interest in tho etorlon told by tho boys.

quit several years ago, after some years ol hard work, tfr I was firing, and you all know that's no child's play. I nln't ashamed to aay that our trip took all the ambition out of mo. I was on tho Santa Fe road, running botweou Las Vegas and Wallace, and part of our run waa ovor the Olorlotta mountain, tho pass by which tho road crosses tho Rooky mountains. Prom tho top of tho pass to Lamy Junction was forty-five miles, and the grade 185 foot to tho tnllo. Tho road is carried through canyons and along the mountain side, and In no place Is thoro a quarter of a mllo of straight track until you got down to Canyon siding.

From thoro to tho Junction is six miles of pretty straight track, but the samo hoavygrado. There was no air-brake on freight cars in them days, and tho boys to havo to sot 'om pretty tight to keep from going down too fast. Any of you boon over that part of the road 9" and tho speaker looked inquiringly nt his audlonco. "I have," said a tall, powerful-looking hrakoman, "and I would not caro to twist on that mountain. It boats any thing lover worked on, and I'vo been On some tough mountain roads," "It wns In the winter," said the stranger, resuming hlu story.

"I was firing for Qeorgo Young. Our engine was a heavy Iwolvo-tvhoolor, and to her groat weight alone I attribute cur escape. Freight trafllo was very heavy on tho road at this time and nearly evory train was In two sections. Wo would run two sections to tho top of tho hill, and then ono engine would take bofn sections down tho mountain. On tho day of which 1 spoak wo loft Las Vegas boforo daylight, pulling tho flvst sootlon of a heavy train, and mado it all right to the head of tho pass.

Wo were tho first train ovor the road thatday and about two Inches of snow hart fallen, so tho track was pretty slippery. When tho other train had arrived wo mndothu two sections In ono and wore roadv for our trip clown tho mountain. Tho other foot doap. and on tlio othoi, mountain rose like the wall of a hW-l and wo would roll under tho traiflitid bo cut to pieces. All this time Gi had kopt the n-histlo frolnjf and together with tho roar of tho tfc, could ho heard Dfty miles off.

It vfe morning hut nolthor of us neffl an overcoat for tho perspiration sBo on our faces in largo drops. 'Wo ftn pull through I shouted to Oeo Ho mado no reply hut tho look of spalr on his face showed tno ho did doi bpllavo It. woro now running at tho sixty allesan hour and seemed to me that tho engine would leave tho track' every moment At Canyon siding was a gravel bartk whoro tho gravel traih to load up hotween trains, and li loading, tho flat cars stood on tUo maij track just below tho switch. What mi were as wo noared tho end the cznyon and' shot around thelai curve into tbo straight track I can not 'describe, for there on tho main line stood tho gravel train of sovon cars and tho engine nowbero in sight. Wo afterwards learned sho had gono back to tho junct.on for water, whilo the 'cars woro being loaded.

This they bad plenty of time to do, according to the time-card, but wo wore nearly an hour ahead of timo. Tbo flats were loft in charge of a young man named Webber new arrival from tho East As soon as ho saw us coming ho jumped on tho cars and lot of! tho brakes, and the cars began to move at a rato that soon unloaded what gravol they had on board. On dashed tho flying freight train, past tbo pavol bank and tho group of oned laborers, while half a milo ahead the flats were skipping along with tho speed of an oxpross train. Webber was holding on to a brake wheel, once in awhile looking back at the train that seemed to pursue him like fato. "Tho six miles to Lamy junction woro covered in loss than as many minutes, and wo rushed like a' cyclone through tho yard and past the sidetrack whoro tho work train ongino had sought safety not live seconds too soon.

The flats were now about ono hundred yards ahead. About two miles below tho junction was a rlso In the grade of about eighty feet to the mile.

Wo had hardly Rot over tho hill when tlic train began running protly fast and Goorgo whistled for brakes whilo I sot tho tank br.iko as hard as I could. Wo could sco tho three brnkoraon doing their best to chock tho train, but their efforts woro of no avnil, for whon thrco iniles from the tcp of tho hill wo woro running forty miles an hour and could do nothing to check our headlong speed Just below the Wylio bridge is a curve and then wo saw that tho cabooso waa gone.

Seeing they could not check tho train, tho brakomen had crawled back to tho cabooso and pulled tho pin, thus their connection with the train, knowing; that they could soon stop tho caboose with tho powerful brako with which it was supplied. They had loft us to our fato, c.vpcctin^ to find us somewhere at tho bottom oMhe canyon, as it did not seem possibio that wo could keep tho track at tho high speed wo had now attained. Relieved of tho cabooso tho speed of tho train Increased and tho swing of tho engine mado it hard for us to keep from nelng out of the cab. Our only chanco lay In staying with tho engine, as jumping was out of the question. On tho I nns hand was the canyon, flvc hundred KIND HANDS ASSISTED THE BROKEN JIEAHTED SIOTI1EK.

nothing happened, of stopping her by the timo wo got to tho top. It. was evident tho flats not go much further at tho terriflc spood they had attained, for they woro jumping throe foot clear of the track, and tho only wonder was that tho couplings hold. Suddenly like A flash tho hood car jumped tho track nnd tho rest followed Hko a (look of ahoop, and with an awful' crash piled up into kindling, burying poor Webber under the pile. It came so suddenly ihat boforo I could reallzo what had happened thn wreck was loft behind and wo woro dashing up the other grade.

For tho first mllo I could soo no difference in our speed, and then tho grado began to toll. Slower and slower moved tho train, and half a mllo from tho ond of the up grade we regained control of It and had to steam to tho top ft the hill. As wo camo to a stop I looked at tho clock in tho cab It indicated 7:45. Wo had loft tho head of thu pass nt 7:05 and had run forty- nine iniles in forty minutes. George now gave his engine an examination, but with tho exception of tho right wrist-pin sho was as cool as could bo expected.

Soon afterward tho yard engine camo out and helped us back Into tho yard, whom the train was overhauled and tho cause of tho runaway round. Thoro were only six good- brakes in tho ontlro train of fifty-two cars. "As soon as wo got into the yard a party was mado up to look for poor Wo were soon at tho scone of tho wreck, whcro half a dozen men were already as work. Hwas tho worst wreck I oversaw; nothing but a pile of kindling and the bravo follow was almost at tho bottom. Every ono worked with a will, but it was only after two hours'hard work that tho broken and crushed form of poor Wohbor was laid on a mattress in tho little tent at tbo side of tho road.

Ho was still alive but died in a very short time. Every bone in his body was broken. His mother bad arrived in Las only a few days before and was sent Jo7 A special train brought her down in care of tbo suporintondent, and 'there wore few dry oycs in that crowd as kind hands assisted tbo niotber from tho coach and over fo tho IHtlo tent whore lay her only boy Mrs. Webber was cared for by tho company, who gave her a life annuity. The boys took up 0 subscription and placed a handsome granito shaft over poor who was hnrisd closo to tho wreck.

After the inquest and funeral wo wont back to Las Vegas and I took my time. A few mornings after, this is what I saw in tho 1 coking-glows." Tbo stranger lifted his hat. The hair on tho front of his head was white as snow, whilo tbo rest was jot black. "What became of the cabooso? They slacked it down to Canycw siding and loft it thoro and thon skipped.
