SIX KILLED.
Terrible Result OF Railway Disas-
ter ON the Omaha Road mt
53 Humboldt, s. ID.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 20.-A spe-
cial to the Times from, Sioux Falls, S. D.,
says: Word reached here late Sunday
evening of a terrible accident on the
Omaha railroad, near Humboldt, 20
miles from Sioux Falls. According to
the meager details thus far received a
party of men We're on handcar, about
a quarter of a mile out of Humboldt,
when they discerned a work train, in
charge of Conductor Higgins, backing
down upon them, en- route to Montrose.
! In the work train were q number of fiat
cars, upon which were a hundred or
more Workmen, principally Italians,
The men on the handcar jumped off,
leaving the car on the track. When the
rapidly backing work train struck the
obstruction the force of the collision
threw four of the fiat cars from the
track, killing five of the workmen,
among them Edward Howard, an Amer
lean, and injuring many more. Five
more OF the injured are expected to die.
The uninjured Italians Immediately be-
came wildly excited, and, drawing their
knives, made threatening demonstra-
tlons toward the crew of the work train,
who, being greatly outnumbered and
fearing their lives would be taken by
the excited mob, pulled away from the
scene of the accident with all possible
speed. Five doctors, three from Sioux
Falls and two from Montrose, are at the
scene of the accident. The relief train
sent from here has returned, bringing
the five injured, one of whom, 15-year-
old boy, died en- route.

at Thomasville, Ill.,, who was in charge
of some live stock on the Springfield
train, was asleep in the caboose and was
instantly killed. The collision was
caused by the heavy fog which con-
cealed all lights and made it impossible
to see more than few feet ahead of the
pilot.
