 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 leagures
 Conductor Overlooked Orders. Conductor McAnna of the freight train, east bound. had been ordered to meet the second section of the passenger at Slater, the next station east of Norton, but ap- parently overlooked the fact that the first section, which was fifty-f1ve minutes late, had not passed. The front brake man on the freight, who was about four cars from the engine, says Conductor McAnna took the throttle himself on leav- ing Marshall and was running the en- zine when the collision occurred. The trains met two mile west of Norton on a curve surmounting high embankment. A relief train from Kansas City return ed here with the injured this evening. Those who died en route were taken to undertakers, while the others were taken to two hospitals.
 The six killed outright were left at Slater, Mo.
 The trains collided while going at a good rate of speed. The engines were practically demolished and the forward Pullman and the tourist sleeper in front were burned. The baggage car was wrecked and freight cars were piled " on both engines and burned. The tran which was wrecked was one of the finest passenger trains in the United States. The injured suffered mostly from scalds due to escaping steam from the wrecked locomotives. there being no broken limbs Some of the victims had inhaled steam and were in a worse condition than a first examination showed.
