 It is said the collision was the result of misunderstanding. The St. Louis fast mail was to meet the north-bound local passenger train at Malvern at 6:22 p. m. At 6:29 p. m. Engineer M. w. Campbell of the fast mail saw train take sidetrack about half mile south of Malvern. He and Conductor Arondale supposed it was the passenger train and at once pulled out. The train on the sidetrack was a local freight, however, and before the mistake could be realized the local passenger train was approaching and the collision occurred
 The wreck was one of the worst that ever occurred on the Iron Noun tain.
 The occupants of the colored coach were mostly emigrants en route to Texas.
