No. Q is a fast through train from the
South. Between Williford and Hardy the
Memphis tracks parallel the Spring River,
a little stream running out of Mammoth
Springs. The train was composed of the
engine, mail and express car, baggage car
combination car, chair car and sleeper.
The combination car has partition in the
middle, one end being used as a smoker
and the other end for colored passen-
gers.
When near WiIiiford the engineer felt
the train leap forward and found that 1t
had parted between the two day coaches.
The last three cars bumped over the ties,
the chair car and sleeper turning over on
their sides and the combination car final
ly going into the river. The most intense
confusion prevailed. The engineer backed
UP the front part of the train and the
work of rescuing was Immediately began.
The terror of the passengers who had
gone down into the stream with the com
bination car was soon heightened by cries
of alarm from the chair car and sleeper,
both of which soon took fire. The in
tense darkness added to the confusion and
it was some time before an organized ef-
fort at rescue was put into effect by the
train crew and those of the passengers
who had been able to extricate them
selves without aid
The passengers in the burning cars were
luckily rescued before the fire had reached
its height and but few in those cars were
injured. 1t soon became apparent that
the chair car and sleeper could not be
saved and all efforts Were put forth to
save the unfortunate passengers of the
combination car.
