WRECK DETAILS RECEIVED;
TRAFFIC IS INTERRUPTEI
According to reports received a
railroad headquarters in Xenana r«
garding the accident on Saturday a
Mile 277.6, which resulted in th
death of Crane Engineer Williar
Elliott and the injury of Locomotiv
' Engineer Smith and Fireman Shec
. han, the wreck was the result o
the collapse of the trestle at tha
■ point, the foundation of which ha
probably been weakened by recen
1 rains. The wrecking train, whic
1 broke through the trestle, had bee
1 sent out from Anchorage the da
1 previous to assist a freight trai
which had been ditched at Mile 292
and was returning to Anchorag
when the accident occurred. Th
passenger train which left Xenan
1 early Saturday morning, and a grav
el train passed over the trestle i
safety shortly before the structur
, gave way under the weight of th
; heavy wrecking outfit, which con
sisted of a locomotive and wreckin;
: crane, with four flat cars coupled i:
between. The trestle is a temporar
structure. about a mile in length.
Shortly after the wrecking trai'
passed on to the trestle, the hundre
ton crare broke through the struc
ture and fell to the ground below
Some of the flat cars were pullei
off the track and the locomotiv
was thrown on its side.
Engineer Elliott was riding ii
the cab of the locomotive, on th'
fireman’s side, and when the crasl
came he was pinned under the bi|
engine, death being instantaneous
Engineer Smith and Fireman Shee
han were painfully injured.
Relief was dispatched from An
chorage immediately and the in
jured men were rushed to the hos
pital, where they are now recover
ing rapidly.
Col. F. Mears. who was in Xe
nana when the accident occurred
left for the scene immediately upo:
receipt of the news, accompanied b;
F. A. Hansen, engineer maintenanc<
and construction.
Two piledriver crews composed o:
25 men under Foreman Jimmy Me
Gill, with one driver. 120 piles anc
all necessary equipment, left Xe
nana Sunday morning on a spec
cial train, to repair the damage
Piles were driven from both end:
of the break and by yesterday morn
ing 21 bents had been replacet
but as a large part of the structure
had to be rebuilt it was not pos
sible to complete the work in time
to permit the passage of the thre
train from the south, and it is pro
bable that it will not arrive here
before tomorrow evening. It is ex
pected that the repairs will be com
pleted by tomorrow noon.
Definite arrangements have not as
yet been made for the departure oi
the southbound train from Xenans
but it is announced that waiting
passengers will be rushed through
to the coast in time to connect with
: the steamer Alameda, which wil!
sail south from Seward on Friday

11 “The Sheik" is an amazing' photo

: Arab chief makes love to a beauti
? | ful English girl he has captured. A
i j thousand wild mounted Bedouins
e! with long rifles and flowing robes
- ' obey his slightest wish—ride through
f | the picture like the wind—how shall
t I she escape? She sees the slave
1 brides dance beneath the great ca
t nopy for his sultanic pleasure. She
i is to become one of them unless
i1 fate rules otherwise. That is the
plot of it. The shiver of it.
i j A flaming romance of desert love.
.' Flinging away the trappings of civil
“jization! Leaving the "lady” only a
?! woman, the “gentleman" only a
i man.
-j The tale of a lawless Arab chief
i j who loved an English beauty—and
? took her! Stormed her caravan—
») carried her off to his tent—lost her
- —fought for her—mastered her—
f won her, heart and soul.
i A romance all colored with bar
• baric splendor. Swift and free as a
galloping Bedouin. Racing through
, scenes that thrill with their beauty
j and daring.
