INJURED.
Patrick Collins, legs smashe-.
Edward Kelly, legs broken.
c. E. Alden, left arm and wrist cut.
Peter Conner, internally injured.
Mrs. James Pagan, slightly injured.
Fred Grevel, internally injured.
- Heater, conductor of excursion
train, badly bruised and leg cut.
Gertrude Pagan, badly ct.
Mrs. Bessie Cowing, back hurt.
The wrecked train was the first Sec
tion Of a picnic train which had been
held at Schiller Park about twelve miles
west from the city. The picnic was held
under the auspices of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen, and fully 5000 peo-
pie were in attendance.
The first section consisted of thirteen
cars and left the park shortly after s
o'clock for the return trip to the city
All the cars were densely crowded and
many people were standing on the plat
forms. When the train reached Alien
helm cemetery, ten miles from the city,
it ran into an open switch in front of the
depot. The picnic train was not run
ming at over ten miles an hour, and
when it neared Altenheim the switch
men at the depot opened switch to
transfer freight train and did not close
it in time to prevent the picnic train
from dashing upon siding where
train of empty coaches was standing,
waiting for a clear track in order that it
might go to the picnic grounds The
train did not strike the empties on the
siding with great force, and, in fact, the
engine of the picnic train was not dam
aged beyond broken pilot. The force
of the collision was sufficient, however,
to jam the first coach up against the
baggage car in such way as to par
TALLY telescope it. The people who were
killed were all standing on the platform
of the first coach, and their lives were
crushed out by the rear end of the bag
gage car.
All of the seriously injured were in the
first car and none of the passengers in
the other cars were badly injured al
though some of them were bruised by
being thrown against seats and to the
floors of the cars. The officials Of the
railroad did not notify the city police of
the accident for three hours, and none
of the victims were brought to this city
for over four hours after the accident.
The excursionists were Chicago peo-
pie.
After an investigation, the police ar
rested the following on charge Of GRIM
inal -carelessness. They are locked up
at Harlem:
James Grim, engineer Of excursion
train; William Dolan, fireman on the
same engine Mike O'Donnell engineer
of the switch engine drawing freight
train; James Mehan, fireman of same en-
gine; j. V. Kniskern, operator who is
alleged to have caused the fatality.
The chief blame for the accident is
.laid on Kniskern, who, 1t is charged
carelessly walked away without throw
ing back the switch so the picnic train
could pass on the main track.
James Grim was the engineer of the
passenger train and james Dolan was
his fireman. Neither was injured.
Mike O'Donnell, engineer of one of
the freight engines was in his cab with
Fireman James Meehan at the time of
the collision, and they, too, leaped early
enough to escape serious injury. They
were cut little by flying splinters.

The next bodies to be drawn from the
ruins were those of Mrs. Bradley and
her babe, a child about year old. The
baby's head was badly crushed, but she
held in her arms pretty doll that was
as unrumpled and fresh as when it came
from the toy store. 1t 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 hui
manity. Groans and agonizing appeals
for help came from the injured, 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 pro-
gressed more rapidly. 1t seemed as if
the end would never be reached.
Twenty-Five dead bodies were taken
out and laid in a row on the grassalone-
side the railroad track and the
injured were at once taken in carriages
to Logan.
In Il very short time the appeal for
help had been answered by all the physi-
clans from Logan and Missouri Valley,
and then some system was introduced
into the manner of the rescue work
There was a great lack of material to
bind the wounds, and pocket handker-
chiefs and lunch towels and linen ar

Gated for the purpose. Wagons and car
riages were sent from Logan and the
injured were brought here for treat
