of whom were bruised.
1t is understood that the freight train

senger train was due at the station.
He explains that his watch had stopped
and he went into the station to get
the time and ask for orders and while
so engaged the passenger train came
along at full speed. Engineer Linville
saw the danger and threw on the
brakes. but could not avert the wreck
Both engines are total wrecks and
several of the passenger trains were

tinued their journey a special train.
