Where 1t Occurred,
The collision occurred on the curve
known as Dead Mans bend" Both
engineers and firemen saw the dan.
ger and jumped The forward coach
of the passenger train was telescoped
aud the remainder of both was badly
damaged.
According 20 the local office of the
Missouri Pacific, the engineer of the
freight train was to blame for the
wreck, having forgotten his orders
The trains met at sharp curve. The
impact of the collision was terrific
and the sleeping passengers were
hurled in every direction. Most Of
ahe killed were in the forward coach.
The scene of the wreck Is narrow
cut, and this fact, with the darkness,
added to the difficulties of the situa-
ion.
The greatest confusion occurred
after the crash, The relief trains
with physicians were sent ont quick
ly. but it was some time before the
dead and injured could be extricated
from the debris.
The dead were carried up the track
and laid in rows in an open space
until the relief train arrived, while
the injured we're carried up the banl
and cared for as well as could be
by the uninjured passengers.
The wrecked train was the secont
section of the Worlds Fair passen
ger train from Wichita to st. Louis |
