A bad wreck occurred on the main
line track four or five car lengths west
of. the tdepot at Beowawe, 80 miles
cast OF Minnemucca, at Z o'clock last
alglt, and as a result Allen Harper
was instantly killed and nineteen
others more or less Injured. OF the
injured persons one or two were quite
badly hurt, but whether any more
deaths viii result from the accident
cannot yet be determined.
Local officials are naturally very re-
..ee.t in regard to the matter, but from
various reliable sources the following
.acts have been gathered:
The first section of No. 6, the east
oJt.nd passenger, nearly two hours late
out of Winnemucca yesterday. her
crew 4ncluding Joe Holland conduc-
tor; J. w. Littlejohn, engineer and r.
stone, fireman, ran into the westbound
freight known as No. 219, Engineer
Fowshe and Jas. Dorsey, conductor,
at the. point above mentioned. How
the freight came to be on the main
line. or who was to blame for the err
ror that allowed it to be there is as
yet TO be found out 1t was quite
dark at the time the trains met, and
the engine crews only saw that the ac-
e@.aent was coming in time to save
their lives by jumping, especially
those of the passenger crew; the
freight engines crew had better OPP
pertunity as their train was stand
ipg stil, or running very slow, and all
OF them got safely out of the way.
:. .ne men on the. passenger engine
wele less fortunate, and in jumping
sfrom the cab Engineer Littlejohn
broke his leg. while Fireman Stone
was more seriously injured, suffering
a severe concussion of the brain and
a. ugly cut over the left eye.
News of the accident was tele-
sraphed along the line, and medical
assistance implored. Special wrecKing
trains from Carlin and Winnemucca
we're seat out, these carrying Drs.
Pope OF Battle Mountain. Hood of
'fa and Samuels and Giroux OF Win
ns1-lcoa. DIR. Hood was accompanied
BY Miss Boiling. professional nurse
