have been different from the one which
drove out the Russians from Siuyen on

EIGHT PERSONS DEAD
TRAIN ON THE IRON MOUNTAIN
RAILROAD DERAILED NEAR
KiMMsWIck, MO.

Kimmswick, Mo-, April 30.-A mis-
understanding of orders by the en-
gineer of a train on the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad re-
suited in a serious wreck at Wickes
Siding, about one and one-half miles
north of here. Following is a list OF
the dead: James Bailey, engineer;
Al Gumpert, fireman; A. E. Taber, mas
ter mechanic: Express Messenger
Groat; Edward Busibard, De Soto,
No.; three unidentified passengers.
The wreck occurred while the train
was going at an excessive rate OF
speed. There had been trouble with a
freight car on one of the fast trains
and it was necessary to abandon it on
the main line near Wickes Siding.
Orders were issued for all northbound
and southbound trains. to use the
switch at that point instead of the
main line. Five trains passed the sid
ing during the interval between the
breakdown of the freight car and the
arrival of No. 10.
It is stated by Conductor Austin
that he read the order to the engineer
and handed a copy to him. The Off
Gals of the road cannot account for
the fact that the train approached the
siding at such a high rate OF speed.
