OA Train Wrecked Near CLEAN, New
York, Monday.
OVER 40 BADLY INJURED
arains Divided on HilI and Rear Care
Bump Into Front Cars Setting
'.3 Fire to Train.

y
By an explosion Of oil following
the wreck of an oil train at Olean,
N. Y, fully 20 lives were lost and
at least double that number were
burned and bruised. The press dis
patches give the following account:
+ An Erie freight train, west bound,
broke in two on the hill two miles
north Of the city. The rear cars
gathering momentum as they came
down the hill. crashed into the
front cars. Most of the cars were
tank cars, filled with refined oil or
gasoline. They weighed thousands
of tons and the impact was terrific.
One of the tank cars caught fire
soon after the collision. It is sup
posed the fire started from spark
struck from the grinding of the
pieces of iron in the wreck. In a
few minutes another car of gasoline
caught fire and burst in flames
with terrific report.
Hundreds of people from the sur.
rounding country gathered to
watch the brilliant flames. For two
hours the people stood massed to-
gether and as the heat became less
intense the crowd began to edge a
little closer to the wreckage until
about II o'clock some boys ap-
preached to within a few hundred
feet.
Suddenly there was a terrific ex-
plosion. Great masses of flames
shot into the air and literally rolled
down the banked sides of the track
into the gully where the spectators
were standing. Men and boys fell
before the wave of white light to
rise no more. Huge pieces of iron
were hurled through the air moving
down human beings by the score.
A veritable rain of fire came
down upon the crowd. Men and
boys with their clothing a mass of
flames ran shrieking down the track,
some of them falling to the ground
unconscious, while others rolled in
the earth or jumped into the creek.
Men SO badly injured by the flying
iron that they could not move, lay
in the gully with the flames rolling
down upon them until they per-
iShed.
1t will be impossible to identify
some of the dead and it is likely
they will all be buried together.
