Accident on the Northwestern Road at I.o-
gan, Ia, Was q Terrible One.
LOGAN, Ia, July IA railway dis
aster in which rs lives were crushed
out and many others were terribly in
jured occurred on the Northwestern
road near this village. Only meagre
details Of the disaster could be sent to
the outside world until long after the
wreck had been cleared and the dead
and injured were taken from the scene
of destruction.
An excursion train bearing q large
party from Omaha crashed head on into
heavily loaded freight soon after hav-
ing pulled out of Logan Oh the return
trip. The engineer of the excursion
train misunderstood his orders, having
been instructed to remain on the siding
until the freight had passed. The ex-
cursionists were not yet out of sight OF
the depot when the crash came. Freight

Dashed Around the Curve

power could avert the disaster. Two
cars of the excursion train were tele-
scoped The floor of the baggage car
was wedged SO tightly into the coach
that all efforts to remove it were futile.
although a thousands willing hands
were joined in the attempt to lift the
cover that was cOncealing the dead and
imprisoning the injured in a living
tomb. Finally an AK was procured and
section of the car floor was cut away.
The sight revealed was beyond the
power of words to portray. t-appeared
that the space in the car between the
floor of the coach and the floor of the
| baggage car was packed with dead and
dying humanity. Groans and agoniz-
ing appeals for help came from the in
| jured and spurred the rescuers to their
greatest efforts. AS soon as a little
space within was cleared the workers
climbed inside the coach and the work
of passing up the
Bodies Of the Dead and Injured
progressed more rapidly Twenty five
dead bodies were taken out and laid in
row on the grass on the railroad track
and the injured were ut once taken to
Logan. In a very short time the appeal
for help had been answered by all the
physicians from Logan and Missouri
Valley, and then some system was in
troduced into the manner of carrying
on the rescue work. Wagons and car
riages were sent from Logan and the
injured were brought here for treat
ment. The Lusk House, the new Moon
building, the opera house and Odd Eel
lows hall were turned into emergency
hospitals and the injured cared for as
well as permissible. Before daylight
came the dead and injured were taken
to another train and sent to Omaho.
The Engineer Responsible.
The responsibility for the accident
rests on Engineer Montgomery of the
ill-fated excursion train. His orders
were to wait at Logan for the fast mail
and fast freight. He started his train
out Immediately after the mail passed
forgetting about the freight. The head.
end collision occurred 20 minutes later
on curve. The heavy freight passed
partially over the passenger. All the
people killed were in the front coach OF

There's an production Of cotton,
An production of corn;
Too much Of everything is grown;
Too many people born;
A surplus yield Of wheat and bread,
OF potatoes, oats and rye,
Beef and mutton, ham and eggs,
And homemade pumpkin pie
Too much to eat, TOO much to wear,
And cattle on too many hills;
Too many agricultural tools,
Too many pioughs and drills.
There's surplus now of clothing
OF every grade and kind;
Too many books and papers,
Too much thought and mind
Too many men to do the work,
Too many women to weep;
More daylight than the people need,
Too much night for sleep;

An oVer-supply OF wives;
Too many birds and blossoms,

Brought to Canton.

Martin K. Wilcox, who was recorder of
Stark county from 1871 to 1877, died
Sunday, at Jacksonville, Florida, of
catarrh Of the stomach. He had been a
disease. He became so bad that he was
compelled to go South for his health
He went to Richmond, KY, but he did
not seem TO improve. About six weeks
ago he went to Jacksonville, but the
disease had such a hold upon him that all
medical aid proved fruitless. His remains
will be brought to Canton and they will
arrive here on Tuesday evening or
Wednesday morning. The funeral will
take place from the residence OF his
mother -in-law, Mrs. Prince, on Dueber
avenue, but the hour has not yet been
fixed owing to the uncertainty as to the
exact time that the body will arrive. The
interment will be at Westlawn cemetery.
Mr.. Wilcox was SO years Of age and
leaves wife and five children to mourn
their loss. They are: Frank A. Wilcox,
of Nashville, Tenn. Mrs. Eta A. Bur-
ton, Of Cleveland; Collin g. Wilcox, of
Canton; Harter @. Wilcox, of Toledo;
and Bert A. Wilcox, of the city of Balti.
more. He was also a member of the
Masonic order (Clinton Lodge of Massil-
lon), and 1t is likely that the Masons
will have charge of the funeral
Martin K. Wilcox was born in Syracuse.
New York, in the year 1888, and came to
Ohio with his parents when but three
years of age. His parents settled in
Ashland county, Ohio. Mr.. Wilcox grew
to manhood, In Ashland county, and
some time in the fifties he came to Stark
county, locating at Canal Fulton. Here
he was married to daughterof Captain
John Mobley, who is yet we'll remembered
by nearly everybody in the west end of the
county; but shs died In 1877. Mr.. Wilcox
held several positions of trust while living
In Canal Fulton. For long time he
was justice of the peace In the fall OF
1870 he was elected recorder of Stark
county on the Republican ticket and re-
slected in 1873, although the county on
the state ticket went Democratic. Since
his retirement In 1877 he has held no
office. At the time of his death he was
travelling salesman for Baldwin g. Co.,
manufacturers of pianos and organs, of
Louisville, Ky. He was well known all
over the county and much respected by
everybody who knew him. His death
leaves but three ex-recorders living. They

around the city since that time. He was
given the best of medical attention after
