Twenty More Injured.
Sacramento. Cal, Dec 5.-A work
train, carrying it's crew OF between Is
and 80 track repairers, backed into a
freight train a few miles east OF Suisun,
on the Southern Pacific railroad, yes
terday, and In the wreck which follow
ed nine men were killed and 20 more
injured, many OF them seriously.
1t appears the freight train had the
right OF way and was running at full
speed In order to meet and pass an
other freight at Suisun. The work
train should have been on a siding,
and was making for 1t at good rate
OF speed when II collided with the
freight. At the time there was a heavy
fog prevailing, and 1t was possible to
discern objects for only a short dis
lance, SO the shock OF the colliding
trains was terrific. Ali the casualties
are reported to be among the men OF
the working crews, as the engineers
and fremen jumped and saved them
selves. Over 200 feet of track was
torn up. and the cars were smashed
and piled upon each other In every
conceivable shape.
