COOK RAPIDS, Ia, June 1.-THE Omaha
and Chicago express on the Chicago Mil
waukee and St. Paul road was wrecked at
9:45 O'Clock last night about half mile
from this place. The engine, it is sup
posed, struck broken rail as the train
was approaching the bridge over the Coon
river. The engine jumped the track and
plunged down the river bank, followed by
the baggage car, mail car, smoker, one

yineer and fireman escaped with slight in
iuries the latter jumping before the en-
gine went down.
