Williamsburg, May 8. (Special)-
The refusal of the air brakes on a
south bound Milwaukee freight train
at this place yesterday afternoon re.
suited in head-on collision with a
north bound double header freight
train. One engine was derailed and
a freight car badly smashed. Nobody
was hurt
The northbound train in charge of
Conductor ]. l. Jaynes, was switching
at this point when the south bound
freight train hove in sight not running
at high rate of speed but not under
control owing to the grade and the re-
fusal of the brakes to work. Efforts
were made by the crew of the train
doing the switching to get out of the
way but they were unavailing. One
engine was derailed and a wrecking
crew from Ottumwa which was imme-
diately sent to the scene in few
hours had it on the track and the deb
ris of the smashed freight car cleared
away. The north bound train was in
charge Of Conductor A. w. Bell

CAUSE OF THE WRECK.
How No. Was Thrown Into Ditch
~ rb,vor

How No. 8 Was Thrown Into Ditch
at Thayer.
[From Wednesdays Daily.]
A detailed account of the cause of
the wreck of Burlington passenger
train No. 8 at Thayer Monday tends
to show that the trouble was caused
by a miscalculation in the time to
elapse between the time No. T. the fast
mail and No. 8, in passing Thayer.
The Des Moines Leader of this morn
ing tells the following story regarding
it:
1T was ascertained yesterday, for
the first time, how the wreck of pas
senger train No. occurred at Thay-
er, on the Burlington, Monday fore
noon. Previously it had been suppos-
ed that it was work train with which
the passenger train collided, but yes
terday it was learned it was an extra
freight train, being a turn round
from Murray, the next station east OF
Thayer. The freight had gone from
Murray to Thayer and headed in to
await the passage of No. Z, the limit
ed mail. The latter was ten minutes
late, and passed Thayer about 11:22
q. LII. NV u was uuC W pass IhO "a
ton at 11:30, and was almost on time.
AS soon as the fast mail had gone,
Conductor Duggan,in charge of the ex-
ira freight instructed the head brake
man to cut off the engine and go over
on the storage track on the north side
of the main line and get a car of
freight. While the conductor knew it
was close upon the time of No. 8, he
appeared to take it for granted the
train would not follow No. Z closer
than ten minutes. He estimated this
would give ample time to detach the
engine, move up the main line and
back in on the opposite side. For
some cause, whether on account of
the head brakeman receiving the in
structions too late or delay by Engi.
neer Kline in charge of the engine on
the freight train, four or five minutes
elapsed before it was attempted to ex-
ecute the order. Kline had pulled up
and was getting ready to back down
toward the north switch when the
brakeman heard the rolling exhaust
of an engine and looking down the
track saw No. approaching as fast
as she could turn wheel. He ran
toward the freight engine giving the
stop signal and crying out:
For Gods sake get out of here
No. is coming
Freight Enginemen Escape.
"By this time the dull roar of the
speeding train broke ominously upon
the ears of Kline, and throwing his en-
CINE into the forward motion he tried
to get it under Roadway. Before he
could drop the reverse lever down or
the quadrant and pull open the throt
tie. his fireman called to him to jump
and himself leaped from the gangway
At this time the engine of No. 8, com
ing, as fast as. the momentum gather
ed from racing down a long grade ant
a full head of steam could urge hel
on, was rounding the curve, in the
bend of which are situated the water
tank and station house, not more thar
200 feet away. Sid Brown, the engi
neer, could not see the danger because
the freight train, station house and
the water tank interposed to cut of
the view ahead"
