 TRUE.
He Sat in Trance While His Locomotive Crashed Into An. other-Was Pimoned by Wreokage and
 scalded by
 Steam.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. Oct. l2-George Anderson of this city, who wns an engineer on the Wabash Railroad, died Of Injuries which he received in a head.end collision at Naples on We'd nesday. On the morning of the ace;- dent Anderson drea med that he had been in a collision. that he had been pinloned beneath his engine and that the escaping steam had began to cook bis flesh, when he awoka.
 Anderson was troubled by the dream antfola his family about it. IL snld he istt lhal there was a warning in the dream and he was almost persuaded not 10 go out on the road that day, but he went.
 Anderson talked to his fireman about the presentlment. It evident Iy preyed upon his mind, for he be- came abstraeted in manner and al- most needless Of his surroundings The nearer the train approached it's destination the more distraught Anderson became, and he had the appearance Of dreaming again as he went about his work in the cab. He did not give his usual attention to the fireman and-the hitter felt that something was wrong with the engineer.
 1t Bluffs Conductor Garrison got the HTaers at the depot and took them tol Anderson The engineer heard theify read and attended to the reading inNhe same absentminded manner thatFhad marked his conduct throughout the morning. Taking the copies. he mechanically placed them under his seat cushion.
 As the conductor turned away from the cab Anderson called him back and said:
 .'I am going to have one of the most awful wreeks you ever heard of.'
 The conductor WAS startled. and asked him what made him say this.
 "I know-it is so. replied Ander- son, because had trouble with ns engine all last night and could not sleep. 1 am going to hnye head end collision.
 Garrison told him he had only suffered n nightmare
 Anderson shook his headl gloomily and said that he knew the accident would occur.
 Anderson's orders instructed him to meet local freight Ut Naples and wait for that train to take the sid- ing. When the point was reached Anderson gave no indication oi stop ping his engine, and as the train dashed by the switch the fireman saw his engineer sitting as if in a trance. At the same moment he saw the local coming on them. A collision was inevitable and the fire man sprang for the footbOard, cry ing to the engineer to jump.
 Anderson looked at the fireman in dazed manner, but made no movement toward the cab entrance. The fireman sprang out and the trains rushed together. Anderson was caught beneath his engine just aAhe had dreamed he would be and the steam enyeiope1 him and cooked his flesh. He was finally taken from hls awful position, but he had re. ceigcd injuries from which he soon died.
 Every other man on the train es- capcd none hnrt beyond few bruises.
