 The wreck occurred at Trindal, a siding between Texafkana and Fort Worth, and resembled the recent Aurlch wreck which happened north of this city few weeks ago aud in which five lives were lost. It was 8 head end collision and the fault lies in the same place as 1t did at Aurieh, where the freight brake man neglected the switch. left It open and the passenger crashed in to the freight, which was on the sid :. ing.
 h the Friday night wreck the fronts of both engines were brought together and not collision of the front end of the passenger and the rear end of the freight, as happened at Aurieh. Engineer Emerson was crushed to death between the two engines as he was standing on the froLt end of lis locomotive cleaning his headlight 4 dreman, whose name we were unable to learn, was probably fatally injured. The wreck is said to be very damaging one for the Cotton Belt and the loss will go way up into the the thousands Engineer Emerson lived at Texar- kama, where be leaves a family. He was well known to our people, especially the railroad men.
