La CROSSE, Wis, Jan. 16.-Late this after
noon report found currency on the street
that a dreadful calamity had occurred on the
Dubuque division of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
road at point about midway between New
Albin and Lansing. AS is usual dense igno-
rance of anything of the sort prevailed in rail-
road circles, but the rumor was soon known
to have good foundation. 1t was stated that
the accident, whatever its nature might be,
had befallen the train going south which left
this city at at 1905 a. M, on which were several
La Crosse people. In the Afternoon at o'clock
relief train left the depot here in charge of
Assistant Superintendent Prior, equipped for
the care of the wounded. Drs. Hoegh and
Ballard and the roads attorney, Mr.. J. w.
Losey, were among those who took passage
for the scene of the wreck. Much excitement
prevailed, and some very wild statements were
made about o'clock.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 16.-The first special re-
ceived here about the accident at New Albin,
Iowa, was grossly exaggerated. Later re-
ports agree with supt. Prior's statement tele-
graphed to General Manager Merrill. The
very latest report received states that no per-
son was killed but that several were wounded,
the exact number and names not yet re-
ceIved.
