Extra Freight Has Wreck at Pleasant Ridge—Two Cars Off.

An extra freight train, north bound, had two cars leave the track at Pleasant Ridge at 1:30 o’clock this Monday afternon. A rail turned over and two box cars were turned crossways of the track, thus making some difficulty in righting them.. The Hoosier Limited, due here from Chicago, was detoured around by way of Shelby, San Pierre and Monon. The local freight train. which had backed up from Pleasant Ridge to get water, was held here for several hours. It was expected to get .the track cleared in time to let the north bound trains, Nos. 6 and 38, through, although both Will probably be somewhat late. -
