SLAIN BY WRECKERS.
Chicago and Alton Freight Train
Ditched Near Mazonia.

Chicago and Alton Freight Train
Ditched Near Mazonia.
Train wreckers are responsible for the
death of Engineer James Brennan of
Bloomington, ILL.,, who was killed in a
smashup on the Chicago and Alton Tues
day night, and the injuring of Fireman
Brown in the same disaster, as well as
the destruction OF ten cars, involving loss
OF $4,000. The wreck took place near
Mazonia, on the Coal City division of the
Alton, short distance from the main
line and within five miles of Gardner sta
ton The train was south bound and was
running at high speed in hilly country
when it encountered tie and rail laid
across the track.
The engine was overturned and slid
down an embankment, followed by ten
loaded cars, several Of which piled up on
the engine. Engineer Brennan was caught
under the locomotive and frightfully
crushed and scalded. Fireman Brown
jumped, but his injuries are not consid-
cred serious. Brennan was taken from
the wreck alive. He was carried to Il
neighboring farm house, where he died.
1t is believed by many people that the
obstructions were intended to ditch 1.-The
hummer" the Atoms fast passenger
train, and that the wreckers made a mis-
take in timing their work. The Alton
trainmen lately have had good deal of
