Show WAS VERY MUCH IN EARNEST Woman's Desire for Liberation From Wrecked Train Accompanied by Terrible Threat. A fast "limited" was bowling over the sands of Arizona. Just how it happened was frequently explained, and never understood, but as the train sped along the side of a parched river it suddenly left the rails, rolled down the bank- and landed in three feet of muddy water at the bottom of the river bed. Within the cars there was some natural confusion. Men, women and lunch boxes were thrown into a heap, and not an umbrella or a parcel was left in the racks. One by one the occupants of the rear car extricated themselves from the mass and sought for means of escape, es-cape, while stanching various wounds caused by broken glass. Every exit was jammed tight. Just then, in the midst of the doubt and confusion, rose a woman's voice in emphatic demand: "Let me out! Let me out! If you don't let me out, I'll break a window." |
