The boiler Of engine No. se7 turned

The boiler of engine No. 397 turned

covered the suffering injured as they

Hungarian settlement in search of two
little girls who had attended the
church entertainment. As a result two
Hungarians are in the hospital. and

the few whose houses were not demol-

by the discovery of the missing girls

years old. the daughters of a farmer
just beyond the city limits, left to at

Which Blew Out Red Light and Caused
Collision.
1t was the most disastrous wreck In
the history of the Pere Marquette sys-
tenn, and instead Of being caused by
mans carelessness or mistake is
charged to the high wind, which ex-
tinguished the red signal light on the
order board at McCord's station, where
the west-b0und train was expected to
stop and receive new orders. Two min
utes before the train rushed by Nc
Cords the light was burning, says the
operator there. but in that brief in
terval the blizzard that was raging ex-
tinguished it.. and train No. 5 flashed
by the station to crash into east-bound
train No. 6 near East Paris.
The trains, which were two of the
finest on the system, were reduced to
q promiseuous pile of broken aud
twisted timber and metal, with dead
and injured pinned down and crushed
by the fragments of the heavy cars.
When train No. 5, bound west,
whizzed by SfcCord's instead of stop
ping. the frightened operator notified
the dispatcher, then found that his red
light had been extinguished- He re-
ported the facts and then there was
but one action to take The collision
was inevitable. The dispatcher's Of
fee called for medical aid and gave
orders to hold the train over the Sag
NAV branch at the station and get
the wreckine outfit under steam. They
then waited for the word they kneyv
must come.
There was no chance Of the fast rum
mig trains to see each other through
the driving blizzard in time to even
slow down, and in few minutes word
came from the conductor of No. 5 that
they had crashed together and thai
there was an awful loss Of life. The
