The accident happened in this way:
An Illinois Central passenger train
had stopped TO take water at a tank
quarter of a mile north of Manteno.

to a stop. but 1t is said that no hagman
was sent back to flag the second sec
ton. 1t is Il straight track for two
or three miles, and If nagman had
been sent back the engineer of the sec
ond section could not have failed to see
him.
on the other hand, 1t is said the en-
gineer OF the second train was asleep
and that the fireman was throwing coal
into the fireboX
Both engineer and fireman saw the
train ahead of them just in time TO
Jump. They had a narrow escape for
their lives.

SIS O'Clock 1t was followed a few
minutes later by the second section.

into the dead" sleeper, driving 1t for
ward through the day coach. 1t COM

end.
The wreck was the worst that has oc-
Cured on the Illinois Central sy. tenn for
twenty years.
Several OF the injured are beyond re-

of fatalities will be swelled to fourteen.
