One of the most disastrous wrecks in
the history of the Atehison. Topeka &
Santa Fe was that which occurred yes
terday morning near Sheffield, No, as
reported in Mondays State Journal,
when six of the eleven cars making up
train No. /, the California express, were
derailed. Complete reports show that
thirteen persons were killed and 81 9TH
ers were more or less seriously injured,
but the reports received from the kan
sas City hospitals this morning, where
the victims are being treated, indicate
it is not probable that any OF the in
jured will die.
From the advices received at the local
offices of the Santa Fe it is evident that
the wreck was caused by the jumping
Of the tracks by the trucks Of the en-
CINE tank. Had it been caused by a
spreading of the rails it is likely that
the engine would have gone into the
ditch with the tank and the six cars.
AS it was the engine left the rails but
forged on ahead over the ties and did
not turn over, nor was it injured in any
way.
The smoking car was literally de-
molished. 1t also caught fire but the
passengers on the train, who were not
injured. put out the fire with water they
secured from big spring nearby. They
carried the water from the spring in
buckets and cooking utensils which they
got out of the dining car.
