Journeys Happily Begun End in Hid

CHICAGO June 30.-Three persons
were killed and thirty injured in rear

early this morning at West Chicago,

front end of the baggage car.
The colliding trains were sections four
and five of the Christian Endeavor spec
ial sent out in nine sections. Section five
ran into four, which left Chicago fifteen
minutes ahead of it. The latter section
carried the Wisconsin delegates, near
ly five hundred. The shock of the col
lision was terrific. Passengers in the
two rear sleepers of number four were
asleep in their berths when the crash
came. They received no warning and
those not killed outright awoke to find
themselves jammed in the wreckage.
Engineer Charles Courtney of section
five, who stuck to his post was one of
the first of the injured removed from the
wreck. Strange to say the rear sleeper
did not suffer most, being driven with
such force into the one ahead as to crush
the latter into match-wood Passengers
in the second sleeper therefore suffered
the most. The scenes during the work
of removing the victims from the wreck
age were heartrending. Four sections
which followed the wrecked trains were
delayed over three hours.

system and the signals were all in work.
