including the tender, went down the bank.
1t would be hard to find worse place for an
accident. The track winds along the side of
the Deerfield river, and it Is nearly 200 feet
to the river. The cars were badly smashed,
and to add to the horrors of the scene three
of them almest at once caught fire. Those
of the passengers who were not hurt rem
dered all the aid possible to the wounded.
Three dead bodies were taken from the
wreck at IL o'clock, but it is not known who
they were. Besides these, two children of

dying in the arms of Nicholas Dorgan,
salesman of Greenfield, and who was badly
wounded; the other child was taken
from the wreck by SheTln Bryant. Engineer
Herbert Littlejohn was badly scalded. The
fireman escaped with the loss of one finger.
