Due to Train wreckcrs.
His story and that OF the others who
survived indicates that the accident was

the crossing and was one of the first
on the scene states a fish plate and the
bar with which 1t had been wrenched
loose, were found near the trestle, after
the wreck occurred.
There is no question but that the dis
aster was the work OF train wreckers.
w. Glover, section man, today |
said he saw three well dressed men |
jump freight and go West. He said that
the men each carried long, brand new
satchcl. This gives rise to a suspicion
that it may have been some OF the Round
