The passenger train, consisting OF
two day coaches, Pullman and ca
boose, was loaded with Worlds fair
excursionists from southeast Kansas
and southwest Missouri. The regular
passenger train No. 80 had been cut in
two at Pleasant Hill on account of
the heavy load, and the engine att
tached to the front car without bag
gage car as a buffer
The extra freight had sidetracked at
Montserrat for the first section of No.
80, which carried signals that a sec
ond section was following. This was
followed by passenger train No. so,
which the freight train took for the
second section of No. 30. The freight
pulled out of the sidetrack, and three
miles west met the second section. The
impact telescoped the cab of the pas
senger engine into the front car,
which was loaded with passengers,
and 1t was here that the sacrifice OF
life took place. The passenger conduc-
tor, e. l.. Barnes, ran all the way to
Warrensburg and broke the news OF
the wreck. Every physician in the
town responded, and hundreds of citi-
zens FASTENED to the wreck and assist
ed the wounded from beneath the tim
bers of the broken cars. Twenty people
were killed outright, and seven died
before eight o'clock. The dead were
city. and DR.. Bills, the coroner, imme-
diately impaneled jury and started
an inquiry, which is still in session.
The afternoon was taken up with
Identifying the bodies, and Monday
night the conductor of the freight train
was on the stand. He claims to have
been doing while his train was at
Montserrat, and when train No. 80
passed, Engineer Horton believed it
was the second section of No. 80, and
thinking the track clear, pulled out on
the main line.
L. G. Dressed, postmaster at Easton-
Vile, Kas., was taken out from under
heap of seven bodies. and escaped
with nothing more serious than brok-
en- leg.
