GRAVEL SLIDE ON RAIL ROAD.
V/hen the train was coining up from
Cordova it encountered some gravel
slides of which some were large
to have to stop the train. while 1
of the engine men was talking of
the loosness of the rocks up above
him a big rock a little bigger than
his head just missed the cab and
his head by 2 feet, If it had hit
! bim it would have killed him. And
if it hit the cab it would have
broken it. The engineer told us
that he would have to be careful
because ii he got his brains nocked
out he wouldn't be good for anythin
g but running a newspaper or some
thing like that and he would rather
run a train. He said he thought some
of the rest of the crew could put
out a pretty good paper.
