therefore Tess disastrous than it might
have been, though the train was badly
wrecked and number of passengers were
oadly hurt. The train at once took fire
from the stove, and but for the prompt
work of the uninjured several persons
would have been burned TO death. Four
persons were seriously hurt and number
of others less seriously. The entire train
was consumed. together with the mails.
The entire loss is estimated at $4,000.
