Walker of Company D and painfully injuring A. Maynard Lane of Company M, Howard Bolaski of Company D and slightly injuring several other oc- cupants of the trains.
 It appears that the passenger train had orders to run through to Rossvile The second section of the military train with portion of the First Missouri, which was expected to run through to Rossvile was Rossville on account of the congested con- ditions of the tracks just beyond a wooded curve.
 Did Not Go Far Enough
 The conductor of the military train sent back a fagman to warn the passenger train, but the fagman did not go far enough, and the passenger train came around the curve at the rate of about twenty mile san hour. The engineer did not see the danger signal until within a short distance of the train. The engineer reversed and put on brakes, but he did not have time to stop his train, which crashed into the rear of the military train. The rear was q palace horse-car, in which Walker was riding. and was compeltey demolished. Three horses were also killed. The next was a baggage car, in which Bo- laski and Lane were stationed This car was badly torn up, but no one of the oc- cpants was seriously hurt. The wreck was cleared by o'clock and trains were resumed.
