EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED.

Clty-Two Men Killed.

jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 6-The
Missouri Pacific express train which left
Kansas City at ;O:40 o'clock Tuesday
night for ST. Louis, was wrecked one
mile west Of here ut four o'clock yester-
day morning. The wreck occurred on a
piece of track 80 feet above the Missouri
river. On one side was high elf. on
the other the Missouri river. The
wreck was caused by a stone which
had rolled down from the bluff on the
track. As the engine struck the stone,
the engineer Charles Clawson, of WASH
ington. Mo-, and the fireman, William
Zoll, of Sedalia, jumped on the river
side Of the track. The engine rolled
off the track into the river, crushing TO
death the two men on the embank-
ment.
All OF the cars, with the exception
Of the rear sleeper, left the track, run.
ming into the face of the cliff. Had they
left the track on che river side they
would have gone into the water end
many Of the 90 passengers would have
been drowned. None Of the passen-
gers was seriously injured, though
they were bruised by the sudden stop
ping OF the train. The train was rum
ming ut the rate Of 40 miles an hour
when Il was wrecked. Traffic was de-
lsyed several hours.
One explanation for the engine and
cars going in opposite directions Is
that the locomotive turned so sud.
denly that the solid heavy footboard
Of the cab acted as n lever and threw
the tender and cars that followed in
