Aside from the engineer, the men
killed on the passenger train were all
riding In the smoking car at the head
of the train, and were mostly foreign
laborers in the employ Of the Standard
Oil Company, on their way from Fort
Seneca, O., to Brookfeld, O., in charge
of a foreman. Engineer c. c. Poole,
of the passenger train, was killed at
his post, while trying to reach for the
air brake, after seeing the headlight
of the freight train. His fireman,
Haefner, saved himself by jumping.
Two Coaches TeIeseoped.
The high speed Of the passenger
train threw its locomotive and first
three coaches over on the engine OF
the freight train, telescoping the
smoker and the car following. The for
ward cars of the freight train were
splintered to fragments.
OF the passengers in the smoker,
none escaped injury. Fortunately there
was no fire, but the heavy timbers OF
the wrecked cars pinned down many
and prevented them from getting out
until assistance arrived.
AS soon as possible after the wreck
occurred doctors were sent on spe-
cial train to the scene from Lorain.
The injured were hurried to Lorain
and placed in the hospital there. The
dead were conveyed to the morgue at
Lorain, awaiting Identification and
disposition.
