ceived by the State Board OF Agriculture
It Is learned that the crop OF Ben Davis

WRECK NEAR KELLOGG
Seven Cars Of Rock Island Freight
Piled Up in Cut Delaying Traffic
Fifteen Hours-six Men Narrowly
Escape Death.

Special to Times Republican.
Kellogg, Oct. 27.-The west bound
freight No 81 Rock Island running west
in charge Of Conductor Wolf, was
badly wrecked one half mile east of
here while rounding curve in a deep
cut. The accident happened at O'Clock
in the afternoon yesterday. The ac-
cident was caused by brake beam
dragging. and seven heavily loaded
cars were piled up squarely across the
cut completely demolishing them. There
were one car of implements, two cars
coal. one Of oil cans. one of salt and a
car load of kimball pianos. The piano
car was broken in two and otherwise
smashed but the twenty instruments
escaped without damage. 1t was at
first reported that one man, laborer
had been killed. but 1t appears that the
man stopped at Grinnen and this
doubtless saved his life. Six others
narrowly escaped being caught in the
wreck. 1t took dozens of men all nigh
and late today to remove the wreck
age owing to the bad location anS
traffic was delayed fifteen hours.
