Minneapolis, Mimi, May 20, 1907
Without a seconds warning, nine
persons were killed and % injured bv,
the wrecking Of the through train
from Chicago to. Minneapolis over the
burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern
railroad at 1:15sa. m. yesterday.
Three of the killed lived in Mime
apolis. OF those injured three belonged

n When the news reached this CITY
yesterday there were many ANXIOUS
hearts. 1t was known that number
of Minneapolis people were on the
train, and during the period of wait
ing it was hoped, but in vain, that no
one had been killed. -"
The accident was the worst in rail-
road history in this section of the
country. Besides the loss of life, great
damage was done to the railroad prop
erty, The train was left almost a mass
of debris.
A cloudburst caused the wreck. The
heavy rains washed away the support
of the track for distance of 20 feet.
The danger lay undiscovered, and when
the train, with it's precious load of hu.
mainly, rushed on to the treacherous
piece of track in the darkness of mid.
night there was a sudden upheaval.
The train was ditched, nine souls were
hurled into eternity and more than a
score were left injured and bruised.
The train left Chicago at 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, and was due in
Minneapolis at 1886 yesterday morning.
The accident occurred at the cross
ing of Sink Creek, four miles south
east of Waterloo,aIowa. The train con-
sisted of six coaches, including the
mail and baggage cars, smoking car.
two passenger coaches and sleeper.
There was nothing to indicate the in
stability of the track. The rails and
ties held together, but underneath the
sand and gravel had been washed
away, leaving a stretch where death
and destruction lurked. When the To-
connective struck the washout it was
derailed, and foun resting place in
the ditch alongside the track. Follow
ing the engine the cars were piled up
in a confused and chaotic heap.
The\ mail car overturned and tele-
scoped the baggage car behind it. In
turn the rear of the baggage car tele-
,scoped the smoker. The sleeper and
the day coach interlockd the roof of
the former, blowing it's way through
the latter, while the lower half of the
day coach crushed through the sleeper.
The engineer and fireman Jumped
for their lives and escaped with slight
injuries.
