Fireman Killea and Brakernen FergusOn
and Fisher Of the east-boind extra were
seriously injured. Ten or twelve cars
were ditched and badly smashed, and
the track torn up for half mile. The
coils ion caused Stevens engine to run
back down grade half mile or more.
The accident is claimed TO have been the
fault Of Engineer Stevens, Of light engine
328, who should have lain at Angel,
the next station east Of Walnut, The
blame upon Mr. Stevens, however, Is
mitigatsd by the fact that his watch had
gotten ont Of repair and was twenty-five

the station at which he should have held
over. IL is said that Mr.. Stevens is very
much depressed over the accident, as he
is an old and has the reputation Of being
