gain its point.
Hundreds of men, women and chill
| dren who were passengers on the spe-
cial train on the Chicago & Northern
Pacific road en- route for Waldheim
| cemetery experienced very narrow
| escape from serious injury and proba-
BILE death by the derailing of the en-
| gine and one coach. The only persons
who received injury were Patrick
Larry, the engineer, and Walter Charl-
ton, the fireman. Their injuries con-
sisted of slight bruises about the arms
and body.
A train, consisting of ten coaches, was
crowded with people en- route to Wald-
helm cemetery to attend the annual
eommemoration exercises over the
graves of the anarchists. The engine
loft the track owing IN an open switch
and was followed by the foremost
coach. When the first shock occurred
| the passengers throughout the train
were thrown from their seats and q
scene of wild confusion followed. Men
brushed past women in trying to reach
the car door, and frightened cries OF
| women and children could be heard on
all sides. The stopping Of the train,
however, put stop to the panic, and
men more collected than others sue
ceeded In calming the frightened pas
sengers.
