Train Exploded and Hurled Thir-
teen Coaches of an Eastbound Train
from Side Track.
Whitesboro, n. Y, Feb. 4.-Judge
| Warren B. Hooker, of FredoniO, n. Y,
was among the passengers injured in
the New Central wreck here early to-
day. He was severely bruised and cut
about the head and body. The car in
| which he was a passenger was thOwn
from the track and one side partially
torn away, The judge was wedged in
between the broken seats and was not
released for a considerable time.
Probably 25 other passengers were
injured, and it is possible some dead
may be found in the wreck.
There were Is cars in the Buffalo
special, every one of which left the
rails. Some of the cars ran 80 or 40
feet; the trucks were torn away and
the sides and bottoms OF the cars
driven in
A day coach was well filled with
passengers, among them being a num-
Der of women, all of whom were Sc
verely cut by glass and splinters.
No relief train had reached the
scene up to 1925 o'clock this morning
and there were no doctors aboard
either of the trains. The railroad en-
ployes and passengers worked hard to
release those imprisoned in the de-
rallied cars, but progress was slow
owing to the manner in which the
cars were jumbIed up.
AS this train was passing the Buffa-
10 special, eastbound the boiler of the
locomotive of the westbound train ex-
ploded. The force of the explosion
and the upheayal of the engine threw
the entire train of 13 cars composing
the special from the rails as if it had
been a string Of toy coaches. The
rear Pullmans tOppled into a ditch on
the side of the track, but the forward
cars were hurled into an adjoining t1elc
at a distance varying from 10 to 40
feet. Several flew from the support.
ing trucks, their ends being demol-
lshed by the impact. The westbound
train did not leave the track.
Engineer Allen, who survived the
explosion of his engine, was carried
into one Of the sleeping cars of the
Westbound train and given all the at
tention possible, but he died in a short
time.
Fireman Brennan was instantly
killed. His body was thrown from
the cab to a snow bank alongside the
track.

tackled several Of the performers and
before he was overcome had so severe

that they had to be taken to their

Miss Libbie Blondel and Junie Nc

rolled over her and enraged by her
screams and attempts to free herself,
struck out savagely at her.
McCree seized the brute and tried
to drag it away from the actress, but
his strength was not sufficient, and he,

cut in his arms and legs by the bears
