RATON, N.M., April 11 --(P)- Jewels valued at $300,000 were recovered from a Pullman car which overturned in the derailment of the Santa Fe railway's Super Chief train near Raton Wednesday night.
The recovery was disclosed today by their owner, Mrs. Rosika Netcher, one-time New York and Paris stage beauty who achieved fame as one of the Dolly sisters.
"I always carry the jewels with me," Mrs. Netcher said. She said railroad special officer Phil Sipes "recovered everything-even my husband's tie pin."
The Netchers, from New York and Chicago, and several other hospitalized Super Chief passengers were being placed on a Pullman to be attached to today's eastbound Chief. Railroad officials said the Chief, leaving here at 2:10 p.m. (MST) would be the first train over the Santa Fe's damaged Northern main line.
