aud smoker of the passenger had cleared

On board the wrecked cars
A SCENE OF CONSIDERATION
ensued. The wreck WAS so sudden that
nobody had time to realize what had
happened. The first car Was full of
passengers and all were thrown violently
from their seats. The lights
went out fortunately, and in
the darkness the screams OF the
women were heard. Very few
in this ca: escaped injury OF some kind.
The seals on the side which had received
the collision were smashed aud thrown to
the other side of the cur. Strange to
say, OF the thirty people said TO have
been injured none were killed, and only
eight were injured seriously. A wreck
ing party was organized, and those who
could not escape were
DRAGGED OUT AND CARED FOR.
All, however, wers able to stand ard
most of them came down GA the train
two hours later, the wreck being cleared
III that time.
Conductor Rur2 was seen but was nou-
com initial. He said that he had arrived
at KYLE on time and his train WAS making
the siding when re saw the pey-cnr com
ing and tried to stop il. He then took
the names of the injured and came down
TO san Antonio.
The only traipman injured was II.

broken, his teeth knocked cat and cash
cut IN his neck. He was seen II bed ut
the Maverick and stated that he was
standing or the front platform of the car
which was struck speaking TO G colored
porter about the switch when he saw the
engineer OF the pavear. 1t came
TOO SUDDENLY TO JUMP.
He was thrown against the projection
on the .latform and then hurled under
the car. He had the presence or mind
to crawl out before II came down on him.
