HEAD HNp COLLISION,
FIVE Freight Trains Came Together 81
oYerbrook Today.

This morning about 8 O'Clock
there occurred head end collision
right at Overlook on the main
line. The conductors in charge
were Hatfield and Arnold. The
ARDMoREITE is unable to give full
particulars from the fact that there
is neither telephouic.or telegrspbic
communication between Oyerbrook
and Ardmore.
We did learn, however, that the
south bound was standing on the
main track when the north bound
train came along and bumped
right up against her, damaging
both engines to a considerable ex.
tent and demolishing four or five
freight cars Of the two trains. No
one was hurt, the fremen and en-
gineers jumping before they came
together.
Tie track was still blockaded al
noon, but trains were passing on
the siding.
