wreck on the Santa Fe OF the Missouri
River night express due at Topeka from the
west at 4: 35 a. M, September u, occurred
between Usage City and Barclay, on
straight piece of track at the end of small
bridge, where the roadway is only about
three feet above the level of the prairie. The
baggage, mail and express cars went down
the embankment and were terribly wrecked;
the engine was buried almost out of sight,
and two of the cars, the smoker and day
coach, were talescoped but did not go over
the bank. The three seepers did not leave
the track. There were four people killed:
Ed. Maher. engineer: James ChiddIck, fire.
man: Frank Baxter. Express Messenger;
Jack Blumberg, express guard. There were
35 others hurt. few of them quite seriously.
About 225 people were on the train, but
there were but few in the day coach and
the smoker. There was IN the express car a
million dollars belonging to the Mexican
Central railway on the way to Boston. Rob
berry was the object of the wreck. Spikes
and fish plates had been removed and were
found out in the grass: also the tools with
which the work was done, which had been
stolen from the section mems tool house at
Barclay. The reason that the robbers did
not show up was that the wreck was worse
one than they had figured On, as the express
car and mail car were, with the engine, bro
ken to pieces, and buried under the wrecked
train: so that the robbers could not have
found the treasure had they tried. General

ward of 81, COO and Claim Agent Foulks has
