SIX KILLED TN WRECK
FORTY PASSE NGERS HURT NEAR
GREEN BAY, WIS.
Wisconsin Singers Crushed to Death
or Injured Through an Excursion
Train Running Into a Freight
Coaches Smashed and Burned.

An excursion train carrying 600 mem
bers Of the Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Nee
nah and Menasha singing societies OF the
sangerfest at Green R"v, WIS, was
wrecked near Depere a. l0:4o o'elGcA
Sunday. Six persons We're instantly XIII
ed, five fatally wounded and forty others
injured The wreck occurred at Donalds
curve, one and one-half miles from De
pere, the excursion train oyertaklng
double header freight. The engine, bag
gage car and two smoking ears or the
passenger train were completely crushed
To add to the horror the wreck caught
fire and many of the injured were burned
before thev could be rescued.
At the tlnie of the collision the exeur-
sion train was running at a fairly aver
age speed, and is said to have been ten
minutes ahead of time. The engineer,
fireman and occupants of the baggage
car saved themselves by jumping, as dio
the members of the freight train crew
in tie caboose. The passengers had no
warning.
The jolly singers in the smoking car
were joining in a chorus just as the crash
came. The song came to an abrupt stop
| and was followed an instant later by the
! sLrieks AMI groans of the injured. The
uninjured men in the cars farther back
| on the train now rushed to the rescue and
dragged their comrades from the wreck.
But SO rapidly did the flames advance
that 1t was necessary in one instance to
chop off the arm of young man to pre-
rent his body from being burned. The
dead and injured were taken to Depere,
where the school house was turned into q
hospital. Some of the injured were taken
later to the General and st. Vincent hos
pitfalls In Green Bay.
