DEATHIN THE WRECK
AWFUL HEAp-END COLLISION AT
LOGAN. IOWA.
East Bound Flyer ON the Northwest
ern Crashes Into an Excursiou Train
-Twenty-eisht Persons Arc Killed
and Fifty-onc Injured.


The overland flyer on the Chicago and
North western road crashed into a heavily
laden picnic train near Logan, Iowa, for
ty miles east OF Omaha, early Saturday
evening. Twenty-eighf people were killed
and fifty-onc injured. many or whom VIII
die. Twenty-four ofsthe dead are idenii-
fed and the others-are SO badly mutilated
that Identification Is hardly possible.
The list of the injured is a lengthy one.
1t contains twenty-eigIit or more names
of persons who were seriously hurt, dan
gerously SO, TO a. greater or less degree.
In addition there were at least hfty, II
not greater number, who. received IN
juries of a minor nature. These consist
ed Of bruises and cuts or slight disiigure-
ments which. will practically amount to
nothing. A considerable number also
were shaken zip severely, but beyond this
were uninjurcd. This was especially me
case among the passengers who occupied
the cars Immediately behind the one which
was demolished
The scene OF wreck and death occurred
in o piece of dense woods about three
miles west of Logan. Both trains came
together head on while travelling ut the
rate OF fifty miles an hour and was caused
by Engineer Montgomery Of the picnic
train installing orders. lie should have
waited ON the siding at Logan until the
passenger train and the; fast overland flyer
had passed. lie only waited long enough
for the passenger to fig by and then pull
ed out on the main track with the throttle
wide open and n full mead of steam ON.
The crash came SO quickly that Montgom-
cry had barely time to jump, The excur-
sion train was composed of seventeen
passenger cars. loaded with 1900 men,
women and children, mostly from Council
Bluffs and Omaha. They were making
merry, singing and shouting. The weight
of the excursion train and the speed Of the
freight made the wreck, "a fearful one. The
two engines were completely demolished
and the first two cars of each train tele-
scoped. The work Of death was wrought
in the first coach of the excursion train.
In this were nearly 100 people and but IA
few OF them escaped without injury.
There was no warning, and with the
wreck of the car came death or dangerous
injury to almost every occupant. All OF
the coaches were badly shaken up, but
the dead were confined to the first passen~
ger coach.

give lot more service. In the first in
stance, the skirt was bordered with
n full ruching OF silk muslin, headed
by black velvet ribbon; in the other,
ruchings on skirt and bodice both were
chiffon. The material OF the first dress
was white piquc, draped, in the bodice,
with finely dotted tulle, and ut the top
n handsome yoke of ccru lace was fin
ished with loops of black velvet rib
bon. The second of this pair Of dresses
was made from broche taffeta for the
bodice. and white serge for the skirt.
Plain white serge was used for the vest,
which was topped by band of inser-
ton. This outlined small. square

and tied into a big spreading bow at

Heavy Sentence for Haziuy.

Secretary Herbert has just been noti-
fed of n serious cause Of hazing at the
Annapolis Naval Academy. Robert
Cherry Foy, cadet from Alabama, has
been sentenced to close confinement for
one year for the offcnse, and the sentence
has received the approval of the navy
department. This is the most severe,
sentence ever imposed at the academy
for hazing. 1t is expected TO discourage
the practice in future. The offender was
a member OF the "yearling" class. and his
victim was a 19-year-old y.uth named
Prentiss, from western New York. The
hazing consisted of putting Pfentiss;
through the fatiguing exercise known as

bobbing up and down as quickly as pos

ind body stiff and bending only the knees.

homeopathic doses by the instructors, a

spectator of the proceedings. He was

ed and heard Toy lazily order the "plebe"
to vary his performance with the quick
step" This rs an equally firing cxcr-
else, the man having to lift his knees al
ternately and as quickly as possible to
the height Of his waist like n prancing
horse. The strongest man could hardly
keep this up for more than five minutes
without extreme physical fatigue. When
Lieutenant Dyer had seen this continue
for several minutes a glance at the
''plebe's" face told him it was time to
interfere AS he entered the tent where
the hazng was inprogress Foy sprang
toward him and then fell in faint to
the floor. Water was dashed in his face.

TO his quarters for treatment. Foy was
Immediately placed under arrest. 1t was
nearly an hour before Prentiss regained
full consciousness, and even then he was
