North Bound No. Pac. Stock
Train at Buffalo
Crashes Into the Rear of a
Work Train.
INJURED NUMBER 25
ZEN of These Seriously and
Four Probably Fatally.
All Greeks or Italians With One
Exception.

Kansas City, April IA special TO
the Star from Buffalo. KAN, says: A
northbound Missouri Pacific stock train
crashed into the rear end of a work
train just north Of this town at seven
o'clock last evening and II men were
killed and 25 injured Ten of the latter
seriously and four probably fatally. All
were Greeks and Italians excepting one,
Peter Fry, an American. who has lived
here several years and was a boss on
the work train. The cause of the wreck
is given as misreading of orders.
The work train consisted Of fiat cars
and a caboose, all filed with laborers.
The men on the fat cars escaped by
jumping but hardly a man in the ca
boose escaped. The work train was
backing into town for the night and
running at a good speed. The heavy
freight engine did not leave the track,
but plowed the work train off the track,
leaving little of it except car Wheels
and kindling wood. Doctors of Buffalo,
assisted by townspeople did heroic work
among the injured until the wrecldng
train with surgeons Of Neodesha and z
corps Of half Il dozen physicians from
Coffeyville and Independence arrived
The dead and injured were taken u
Coffeyvi4e. the latter to be temporarily
cared for at the hospital there The
scene OF the wreck for several hours
looked like a battlefield by the dazzling
light OF the burning debris with dead
men stfewn about upon the ground
where they had been left after being
taken from the wreck.

SAME AS GROSSCUP.
Judge Phillips EnjOins a Bunch
of Railroads.

Kansas City. No. April 27.-Judge
John F. Phillips in the United States

The decision delivered by Judge Phil
lips today which was oral, maintains
that the determinations and rebates
made and allowed by the railway COM

commerce act and that they tended to
create a monopoly in the shipment of
grain and products in favor of the indi~
vidual shipper, to the practical exclu-
sion of all other dealers and like ship

was whether or not a bill in equity. at
the instance of the attornew general of
the United States on request of the in
terstate commerce commission would lie
rebates and discrimina tions. The incli-
nation Of the mind of the court was that
