A head-end freight wreck almost
unequalled in the history of the
Memphis division of the Illinois Cen
trail in loss of life and property, oc-
Cured this morning at 1858 O'Clock
on Obion river bridge, about thre,
hundred yards south of Obion Sta.
ton, when freight trains Nos. Isl
and the second section of 1874 met in
the center of the trestle while going
at high rate of sped, and with an
awful crash reared high into the all
and rolled over into the river.
Several lives were lost. but the
bodies of all the victims have not
been found. News reached Paducah
early this morning, but details of
the disaster were meager.
Train ISL, south-bound, engine
1872, was in charge of Conductor Starr
Milan, Paducah, and Engineer j. T.
Armstrong, Paducah.
Train No. 1S4, second section,
north-bound, engine sos. was in
charge of Conductor c. NJ Beams,
Memphis and Engineer A. II. Will
Hanson, Memphis.
Obion is 20 miles south of Fulton,
KY, and 95 miles above Memphis,
Tenn. The freight had gone only 800
yards beyond the point it should have
waited for the other train when they
came together on the trestle with ter
rife force.
Both engines and twelve or thlr-
teen freight cars, together with seven
empty coal cars, went over or through
into the river, no doubt carrying with
them several persons.
Twelve panels of the bridge were
carried away, practically destroying
the main line for twenty-four hours
at that point.
The surviving trainmen immediate
ly carried news of the collision to
Obion and rendered what aid they
could to the injured.
Wreckers and physicians we're sent
out as soon as possible, and every eff
fort is being made to open the line
again, all trains being detoured In
the meantime.
It was reported in Paducah this
forenoon that Engineer Armstrong
was killed, but telephone MESSAGE
to the Sun at noon stated that he was
thought to be better. His wife went
