east side of the track. The engine, baggage,
mail and express cars were thrown oil the
track, hurled some distance and broken TO
pieces.
The list of killed is as follows: Michael

Had the engine left the track minute
sooner the entire train would have been
thrown into the Wabash river. Owing to a
sharp curve in the track on the west side of
the river, the air brakes could not be ap.
piled until near the bridge. When the en-
eineer tried TO apply the air the brakes
would not work and the train dashed into
the station, as stated above.
