A WRECK ON THE RAIL

Burlington Pay T. a'u Crashes Jato q m 1.
wsukee Freight.
East Moline was the scene Of bad
railroad wreck Saturday evening.
Fortunately there was no injury to
human life.
The tracks of the Burlington and
Milwaukee cross at East Moline.
Milwaukee freight train No. 90, with
Conductor E. 7. Hamer and Engineer
Robert White, left Rock Island for
Savanna az 5 p. m. It was pulling
over the crossing when the Bnrling-
ton pay traip in charge of Conductor
Boydston and Engineer Stedman,
came snorting along. The Burling-
ton enginee crashed into the side OF
the freight, derailing six of the Nil.
wsukee cars, one Of which was
badly damaged, being knocked
up onto the depot platform.
The pilot and headlight OF
the Burlington engine were smashed.
Who was responsible for the wreck
is q question which the officials oil
the roads i'm plicated will have to de.
termine. The engineer on the Bur
ling ton train, it is supposed. noticed
the freight when he came within &
short distance of il, as he slowed
up his locomotive considerably. Had
he rot done this, there is no dou b
but that the engine would have beer
derailed and the wreck attended b.
more serious consequences.
The Burlington sent a wreckin,
crew to the scene on the St. Loui
passenger. and it was several hour
before the tracks could be cleared t.
allow the passage Of regular trains
The Milwaukee sent a wrecking crev
down from Savanna.
