RED MEN IN WRECK.
Collision Cuts Short Lives Of Big
Chiefs on Eastern Railway.


Sixty-three Indians in a special ear
en- route to see President Roosevelt
were smashed into by mail train two
miles west of haywood, Ills, during
fog. Three of the Indians were in
stantly killed, three were fatally in
jured and twenty others were more or
less seriously hurt The Indians who
were not pinned down in the wreck
fled in panic across the prairie.
Chief White Horse, in charge of the
Indians on the train, was fatally In
jured. The bodies of the Indians who
had been killed outright were laid on
the prairie beside the track. Chief
White Horse was carried with them.
He said he knew that death was near,
and requested that he be placed near
his dead companions. The chief was
propped up and sat stoically while
physicians worked over his injuries.
He smoked a pipe quietly and showed
no signs of the pain he must have
been suffering. After the bodies of the
dead had been removed from the
wreckage and placed in row on the
prairie beside the tracks an incident
probably unprecedented in railway
wrecks took place. The uninjured
among the Indians gathered about and
led by Chief Iron Tail solemnly chant
sd the Indian death song"
