Rutland railroad, The wrecked cars
imme dlately caught FIRE and three of
the dead were burned beyond recog-
milton. Besides the dead over 30
passengers are injured more or less
severely and several others sustained
minor injuries. Not since the wreck
of 20 years ago, when a train pitched
off the high bridge at Hartford, has
such horrible railroad accident oc-
Cured in Vermont. The dead are:
Mrs. w. A. Lawrence, Bristol; Mrs.
Nellie Barnard, BRISTOL; and Miss Cor
inne Stowe, Bristol. The force of the
impact drove the passenger coach
and combination car together in the
form ofan inverted V and pitched the
cars down over 20 foot embankment.
The engine plowed half way through
the caboose before it stopped. The
two passenger cars we're in flames al
