Conductor Miller was in charge of the r gutar east bound freight and was running at her usual rate of speed. His train was being followed by an extra bringing a number of empty passeni er coaches back to Ama rillo from some point west. Engineer Arthur Jackson, who is said to be one of the best and most reliable engineers on the division, was in charge of the second engine and was evi dently running at a pretty good speed. Conductor Mdler and his rearL brakeman saw the extra ap proaching and dropped off a number of fures to attract the attention of the engine crew. But the dense fog of the escap ing steam about the engine and the flying snow entir ly oblitera ted their view, so much so tht even the red light of the warn ing sign Is escaped their notice. Mr. Miller still hoped to at tract their attention and went back into his caboose again to get a fresh supply of fuses. The ikrman saw that the oncom- nam wca aiv gerously close and, it is saie. warned Miller not to go back into the caboose. But he did so and was still inside when the engino struck. The caboose and a car loaded with hops were both badly wrecked and soon took fire and burned up before the body of Miller could be rescued. Another car loaded with Imps was also almost completely demolished. The loss to the rolling stock may not exceed from $500 to $100. Conductor W. F. Miller was about forty years of age and has been a trainman for about nineteen years. He was a mem ber of Roswell Lodge No 608 of theB. of R.
