WRECK STOPS TRAFFIC

One of the most disastrous rail-
road wrecks in the history of the
state occurred on the Great North
ern five miles west of Chiwaukum
yesterday, in which at least IL per-
sons were killed and fully II dozen
injured.
An extra train from Skykomish,
loaded with men and lumber, ran
into a rotary snow plow. Ten cars

two. Two of the boxcars were thrown
so feet onto an embankment.
The responsibility for the wreck
is placed on the dispatcher, who fail
ed to notify the train crew that the
rotary was ahead of them. The ro-
tary was running at about eight miles
an hour and the freight at about 40
miles when they struck.
The officials here state that in their
estimation the dispatcher is not to
blame for the disaster. They attrib-
ute 1t to the carelessness of the crew

that the crew on the head engine did
not flag. AS all the wires west of
Leavenworth are down, Chief Clerk
Johnston says that it is impossible
to get a detailed account of the list
of the dead and of the recovery Of
the victims who were buried beneath
the wreck.

not arrive until this evening. All
westbound trains are being held here.
A special train was made up here
this afternoon with the passengers
who were detained on account of the
delay OF No. IA. eastbound.
Twelve caskets were shipped today
to the scene of the wreck by the
Smith Undertaking company and the
bodies are expected to arrive in this
city tomorrow for burial.
The delay to the trains from Sc

heavy snowslides, two miles long and

There were also several smaller slides
in the same vicinity, and it will re-
