Failed 20 Observe Rule to stop for

FAhtu 10 unHerNe huie TO sNOp TOT
Crossing.
The remains OF Nelson II. Woods and
I'd. Hosier, engineer and fireman respect
lively Of the Burlington fast mail train,
who met their death Monday evening In
the wreck at the Wabash crossing caused
by the fast mah crashing into a wabash
freight train, were taken to their homes
in Creston yesterday. Coroner Treynor
empaneled a jury which viewed the bodies
before their removal and then adjourned
the inquest until today.
Burlington officials admit that the blame
for the wreck lay with the engineer of the
fast mail train as he failed to observe the
rule to come to a dead stop at the crossing.
For what reason Engineer Woods neglected
to obey this rule will never be known.
The Burlington succeeded in getting its
track cleared yesterday morning but the
Wabash track was still blocked until late
last night. The locomotive OF the fast mail
was still in the ditch last night although
the tender was gotten onto a fat car. The
delay in clearing the Wabash tracks is due
TO the amount of grain which has to be
loaded into new cars. It is expected that
the Wabash tracks will be cleared this
morning
