train, consisting Of engine, tender,
smoker and two day coaches, was quick.
ly brought 10 standstill. The rear
half, composed Of Ave heavy Pullmans,
came down the grade and crushed into
the second day coach. The Pullman
being the heavier, lifted tho day coach
into the air, and they now lie one
on top OF tho other, and both
having telescoped the first day coach.
Both the day coaches and the Pullman
were full Of passengers and the loss Of
life and limb Is probably very high. Az
near as can be ascortained, ten were
killed and twenty-five injured. A
wrecking train with relief party
Of surgeons soon left for the scene
Of the accident. The railroad authori.
ties and employees refused any informa-

surgeons assistant, as no reporters were
allowed to 20 IL known to be such. In
formation from the train dispatcher's

At 1910 so that trains could pass. Four
persons are reported killed and ten in

sent word to the Fitch Hospital ut 1880

they were then ready to start back.

in the coach, and the bride was pinned
down when the crash came. She was
frightfully injured, being bruised in
many places, while her skull was ter
ribly crushed. The husband was also
injured about the body and legs, but his
physical suffering was nothing to the
mental agony he was suffering. The
bride was rolled IN blankets, and lay
stretched across two seats, while DR..

was possible TO save her.
Other physicians wore also thero

Mrs. Bsucus was doomed from the drst.
Her husband acted in q hesrt-broksn,

doctors to save her, and kissing her

way that would bring tears from stone.
