The cause was the breaking OF rail
The piece broken of was eight feet
long. The locomotive and baggage
cars moved it out OF position and es-
capped.
The mail and express made q header
down the steep fill, which was ninety
feet high, and stopped right side up,
resting on the sleeper. The smoker,
the ladies' coach and the Pullman chair
chr went over and over sidewise and
stopped 100 feet from the track.
Forty passengers were in the smoker
and it took fire and burned up. One
end OF the Pullman fell on the ladies'
car, in which were the "City Club
Opera Co. Then tho trucks came
rolling down the steep slope. One
struck the Pullman and smashed 1t and
another crashed through the ladies' car.
Fifty men cutting ice q few feet away
rushed to the rescue and prevented
holocaust. They got every body out OF
the cars and saved those at the smoker
from fire. The train was running
thirty miles an hour when the accident
happened.
