/ The wrecked train was due here at 1855
O'Clock last night, but left Peru enc hour
/ behind time. Logansport was the next
] scheduled stopping place and between
Peru and that city is straight stretch
! of track, practically without a grade, over
which trains are accustomed TO run very
fast Within little over an hour after
the westbound flyer pulled out OF the Tn
! ion Station here, word of the disaster
reached the local railway telegraph office
| Urgent appeals for aid accompanied the
| announcement of the wreck.
Cass, the place where the wreck &C
! CURED, is merely siding. with a small
/ depot for the accommodation of the few
! passengers that take the local trains at
/ that point There are but two or three
houses in the near vicinity and these are
| occupied by the station agent and the sec
| ton hands. New WayeTIy. the nearest
place, is a village If probably about 300
people The station is close to the Wa
bash River and trains coming in from the
/ east round a long curve before reaching
it
| The shops of the Wabash company 81 d
1 the railway hospital are located at Peru
| and for that reason trains were sent out
| from there and the injured people taken
| to that city instead of Logansport ~Ilich
| is the nearest to the scene of the. accident
| LOGANSPORT, Ind, June pa man
named D E Collins. of Toledo, walked
into this city from the scene OF the Wa
i bash wreck and, according to what he
| could judge, the worst was to be feared
He said the entire train ran into the
washout pIunging down an embankment
| twelve feet high He and a negro seemed
| to be the only ones who were able to walk
and they hurried in opposite directions to
flag coming trains. Having met the first
train, Mr.. Collins walked to Logansport,
| but could give no definite story Of the
| casualties further than that he heard no
| cries from the wreckage and feared that
all were either dead or unconscious.
