FOUR PEOPLE KILLED
MANY INJURED
In an Iron Mountain Wreck Near
KimmsWick, Mo.

Four persons were killed and over
score injured in a wreck on the Iron
Mountain read near kimmswick, Mo,
| twenty miles south of St. Louis ct I: 80
O'Clock Saturday morning. A freight
| train with car of the track OBJ
structed the main track, and other
trains Were passing around the wreck
by means OF a siding. When north
bound passenger train No IS reached
Wickcs Station, where the crippled
freight lay, ii dashed into the siding
at a high late of speed, a terrible
wreck resulting.
The passenger engine turned COM
pletely over. the baggage car was de-
rallied and the two passenger coaches
which followed were badly smashed.
The Pullman sleeper "Gridley' was
also turned over and damaged, the
other coaches and their occupants es-
caping serious injury.
Relief trains were at once sent to
the scene of the wreck from St. Louis
| and De Soto while the dead and dying
| were carried to neighboring farm
houses as fast as they could be taken
from the wreck. Several died as they
were being released from the heavy
timbers, while others could not be
reached, and their groans almost nm
nerved the frantic rescuers as they
pulled and tusged at the wreckage
Master Mechanic Tabor Of De Soto
was riding with Engineer Bailey in the
cab of engine No. 1922, drawing the
passenger train, and both were killed.
Fireman Gumpert was seriously in
jufed
Conductor Austin had orders to pass
the freight at Wickes by means of the
siding, and says that he read the or
ders to Engineer Bailey and is sure the
latter understood them. He did not
slacken speed, howevst', as they ap-
preached the station. and the train
struck the siding with terrific momen-
tum. Engineer Bailey had been running
on the Iron Mountain and Missouri
Pacific systems since 1873 and had q
good record.
1t was stated at the general Offices
Of the Iron Mountain in ST. Louis Sat
urday that the freight wreck occurred
at 1875 O'Clock Friday night, and two
passenger trains, two freight trains
and one light engine had passed, us
ing the siding as main track, before
No. 18 dashed up. The wreckage was
strewn for hundreds of feet.
Many of those on board the fated
train were en- route to ST Louis to at
tend the Worlds Fair opening, among
them being Master Mechanic Tabor,
whose wife and family were on the
train behind. Neither of them was
seriously injured although the hus-
band and father was crushed
Most of the injured were brought to
the Missouri Pacific Hospital in St
Louis.
The body of an unidentified victim
of the wreck was brought to Union
Station at 4 O'clock Saturday and sent
to the morgue. The body was at first
thought to be that CT f. l.. Kruger, an
employe of the Missouri Pacific rail
road, but it was later ascertained that
it was not.
