PIONEER LIMITED
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Into Washout, but Heavy Cars
Stay on Rails-Three Hurt.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 10 Special
The Pioneer Limited, the heaviest and
finest train of the Milwaukee road, had
a narrow escape between Homewood
and Elm Grove stations shortly after 8
o'clock Saturday night. The Pioneer,
hauling eleven cars, four of them sleep
ers, ran into q Wash0ut, caused by eX-
ceedingly heavy rains. line washout
was about thirty feet long. The engine
passed over in safety, but one of the
coaches went down with the sinking
track. The train broke into three parts,
each part humping into the other. The
electric lights were eXtinguished and this
added to the terror of the moment.
Passengers were thrown into heaps in
the coaches and three of them were in
jured. DR.. j. A. Masterson of Water
town suffered an injury to the spine.
George Schimmel of Milwaukee, had one
finger crushed, and Mrs. Klopf of St.
Paul was bruised about the head and
body. The cars did not leave the rails.
AS there is no telegraph office at
Homewood, a brakeman, Harry Turner,
was sent back to Wauwatosa, two miles
distant, by Conductor Cunningham. He
ran nearly all the way through the heavy
rain, and upon reaching the station 1T
Wauwatosa fell to the floor from ex
haustion. 1t was five minutes before the
night operator, W. O'Leary, could revive
him sufficiently to get facts. The officials
were then quickly notified and orders
sent to secure all the physicians at Wau-
watosa and send them to the scene on
the engine Of q waiting freight. Drs.
Cutler and DR.. Schmidt and a physician
living at West Allis were quickly called
up and taken to the wreck. The COM
pany's physicians in the city were mott
fed, but It was found unnecessary for
them to go out.
1t was 3 o'clock Sunday morning be-
fore the train was made UP again and
proceeded on it's way to Minneapolis.
Only four of the cars of the train were
in shape to proceed, the others being
sent to the shops at West Milwaukee.
SO sudden was the und ermining of the
track, that it was reported that a cloud
burst caused the sudden flood near
Homewood. Citizens Of Wauwatosa de-
clare that between S and 9 o'clock there
were three terrific claps of thunder and
that a few minutes later a deluge de-
scended upon that suburb. At Z o'clock
an inspection had shown the tracks to
be all right.
