Fatal Plunge Hade by a Southern
Pacific Train Through
Trestle.
Bridge, Engine, Cars and Passengers
Piled I'm One Confused Mass
OF Debris.
Engineer and Three others Killed.
* Nearly Every Passenger serl-
ously Hurt

SALEM, Ore, Nov. IA Shortly after
$50 o'clock p. m. the overland Southern
Pacific passenger train, south bound,
went through long trestie over Lake
Lalssh, about five miles from Salem.
The trestle must have given away az
soon as the engine struck it, for the
train and trestle went down together.
The engine was overturned and half
buried in the mud. Following this were
the tender, mail, baggage, and express
cars, the s1IfSfEing car and the tourist
sleeper. All were broken to pieces.
Engineer John McFadden, Fireman Tim
New and two unknown men were killed.
The train carried over 100 persons,
nearly all OF whom were more or less
injured. The first class day coach,
which was saved from going over,
alighted with the front end ON an old
tree broken of about even with the
trestle. Then followed the smoker. the
seats IN which were nearly all broken.
Next was the tourist sleeper. In which
were some twenty-five or thirty passen-
gers. OF this number only three were
untnJured. Next was the Pullman car
Alatia, with seventeen passengers. Only
three escaped without injury. The next
and last car was the Roseberg, in which
were fifteen passengers, only four of
whom escaped with slight bruises. In
the smoker and day coach every scat
was occupied. Fires were built along
either side of the train To keep warm
the wounded, who had been removed
from the wreck, and to give light to the
workers who had hastened 10 the rescue
from this city and vicinity.
The length of the bridge is about 600
feet and the height from 10 20 90 feet.
Il Is supposed the engineer felt the tres
tle give way as soon aa the engine
struck. He gave one short whistle and
set the brakes. AS the train went down
It moved ahead about fifty yErds.
