TWO TRAINS CRASH
Burlington Has Rear End Coli.
sion On Siding at VIII
lage of Orion.
TWO SECTIONS OF NO. 70 INVOLVED
Engine Overturned and Way Car
Demolished, But No One
is Hurt.

n wreck occurred at Orion on the
burlington at about $3.50 last evening,
the third section of the freight train
No. 70 crashing into the forward sec
ton on a siding. The second section
had orders to sidetrack there and
wait for another train to pass. 1t ac-
cordingly did so and signal was given
to Engineer Hanks on the second
section, which arrived shortly, to
follow on the siding.
The signal was answered, but for
some reason the third section did not
slow down as it should have done,
and it went onto the siding at a rapid
rate, colliding with the rear of the
train before it with great force
Engine Overturned
The engine was turned sidewise
across the main track, and upset. and
the way car was pretty thoroughly
demolished. Several of the cars were
derailed and considerably broken up,
but no one was hurt.
The heavy grade at the place where
the accident occurred is believed to
have been responsible for the acct
dent. The track was blocked about
five hours and the evening passenger
trains were held for that length of
time. No. AZ did not reach this city
till nearly 1 Il. IN.
