gineer ProbSt remained at his post,
vainly trying to get the brake to work
until his train was within less thar a
hundred feet of train No. l. Then he
too jumped when he was within but
a very few seconds OF sure death in
the crash He was. of course, shaken
up as was the fireman n brakeman.
but not badly. None of the crew OF
either train was hurt. At the time
the crash occurred train No. , was
running probably fifteen miles an
hour.
In discussing the responsibility for
the horror the railroad officials un-
hesitatingly lay it to Engineer Probst.
Of the second section Of the train.
whose home is in Battle Creek. Probst
says that the air brake on his train
refused to work. but the officials de-
clare that he could have stopped the
train in time to nave avoided serious
consequences. General Manager T. H.
McCuigan said this afternoon:
"Probst knew that he was coming
into a yard where our trains usually
stand and take on water. The rules
say plainly that engineers shall ap-
preach such yards with their rains
under control. a brakeman sent back
by the first train warned him of the
danger three-QuaTterS Of a mile before
he lot to the standing section. For
nearly half q mile before he got to the
frs u =" track is straight and
clear and he GhHr'5 hove been able to
see the red liohts on the back Of the
train ahead in time to stop his train.
OF course, he. like any other one else,
Will try to avoid such dreadful respon-
sibilitv."
The official report on the accident
issued by Superintendent Brownlee de-
clares positively that the air brakes
have been tested since the accident and
found to be in perfect condition and
there is evidence that they were not
applied.
One of the officials in discussing the
accident and its cause said that he be-
lieved that Engineer Probst had ex-
ed his air in checking his train
several times between Lansing and Du-
rand. and failed to again charge his
tank. The head brakeman and fire
man who were on the engine. bear out
Engineer Probst's statement that the
brake refused to work.
The bodies Of the dead have been
placed in caskets and are being shin
ped to their homes as raDidly as DOS
sible. The injured who are still here
at the temporary hospital in the hotel
Richelcu are those suffering from les
ser hurts. the seriously wounded being
removed to Detroit this afternoon.
The Grand Trunk track have been
cleared and the officials of the road
place their loss at 81, 700.
