 The passenger train was travelling in three sections on account of the heavy Epworth League business to San Fran cisco The wrecked train was the first section and contained no leaguers. Conductor McAnna of the freight train eastbound had been ordered to meet the second section of the passen- ger train at Slater, the next station east of Norton, but apparently over looked the fact that the first section, which was fifty-fve minutes late had not ulssed. The head brakeman on the freight, who was about four~ca from the engine, says Conductor Me Anna assumed the throttle himself on leaving Marshall and was running the eneine when the collision occurred. ] The trains met two miles west of Nor 1 ton on a curve surmounting high em- | bankment.
