WHILE SIX OTHERS ARE sERI-

Of the Wounded It Is Cutie Likely
That Two Will Die-Every Gar of
the Twenty In the Train Ditched.

Memphis. Tenn, Sept. PA special
to the Commercial-Appea from Han

freight wreck occurred on the Iron
Mountain road at Hanson, |. r, a small
station 20 miles west Of Van Buren,. at
2 O'clock today. resulting in the death
Of seven men and the serious injury of
six others. two of whom will die. The
dead are: VIII Fame, Charles Fame,
Douglas Anderson. John Johnson, Bose

Walton. The injured are: George Coff-
man, Jack Jones, James Phillips, Rob

George Parker. OF the wounded it is
thought that two VIII die, as they suf-
fered internal injuries
All of the dead and wounded we're
sent to Wan. with the exception of
Walton's body, it being brought to this
place, where he has relatives living.
None of the trainmen were hurt. The
wrecked train was a local freight from
Coffeyville, Kan, to Van Buren,.
While the train was running at a
speed of % miles an hour the forward
trucks of the cars near the engine
broke, Wrecking Is cars loaded with
walnut logs and baled hay. With the
exception of two cars in front and three
cars in the rear, including the caboose,
every car Of the 90 in the train was
ditched. In the midle Of the train was
a car loaded with heavy machinery,
and it was in this car that 13 men were
stealing d ride. and from which seven
dead and six seriously wounded were
taken by the trainmen shortly after
wards.
It appears that the occupants of the
wrecked cars were a party of men and
boys living at Wan. who were coming
to Van Buren, to find employment in the
cotton fields When the machinery car
left the rail, it fell on its side, nearly
all Of the men being caught by the
heavy beams. A car of logs was piled
on ton of the one in which the men
we're riding and that any escaped in
slant death is but little short Of a
miracle
Trainmaster Walsh at this place i'm
mediately ordered out a wrecking crew
and also the company surgeon TO the
scene. The first thing done was to eX-
trieate the dead and wounded. and on
account of the heavy logs and ma
chinery under which they were buried,
the task was a laborious one. 1t was
several hours before the last Of the
bodies was removed.
