W. II. Peters Killed In a Train Wreck,

w. n. Peters Killed In a Train Wreck.
Msngled beyond recognition, the re-
mains Of W. n. Peters. the we'll known
saloon man and eX-county assessor,
were brought to Van Buren, Tuesday
night about 70 o'clock Caught in a
train wreck life was crushed out with
but q moments warning.
Mr.. Peters had been TO Mountainburg
purchasing berries and had boarded the
local freight, which was several hours
late. at that point for the purpose of
returning home. He had laid down
and apparently gone asleep when the
engineer stopped for water at Lancaster.
A special freight was following the To-
cal and while standing at Lancaster the
conductor Of the local heard the whistle
of an approaching train just around the
curve. Knowing there was a possibil-
ity Of q rear end collision, az the
whistle indicated the train close by and
running at full speed, he ordered the
passengers, Of whom there were ten or
twelve, to jump for their lives, which
they did. Mr.. Peters had been awak.
ened, but just as he reached the front
platform the engine ploughed its way
into the caboOse, killing him instantly
and reducing the cabOose to kindling
wood. The remains were extricated
as quickly as possible and conveyed to
Van Buren,. 1t took six hours to clear
the track for the passage of other
trains, three cars being telescoped and
the engine Of the special having jumped
the track.
Mr.. Peters body from the waist up
was crushed to pulp between the
caboose and the car ahead. A Fort
Smith gentleman, q passenger on the
wrecked train after the accident picked
up roll Of money containing $500 be-
longing to Mr.. Peters.
The funeral Of Mr.. Peters took place
Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock and
was largely attended, he being very
popular with large circle.
The railway company will investigate
to place the blame for the accident.
The engineer Of the extra which caused
the accident is a new man and has been
running on this division but little. 1t
Is claimed he wanted to pass the local
at Chester but was informed 1t would
make no more stops till 1t reached Van
Buren,, and this was bis reason for
not having his train under control when
nearing the tank.
