NEAR VoLLAND, KAN.
Mistake Of Operator Sends Two Heavy
Passenger Trains Together Headon,

to Undergraduates Follow Col.
Iision and Many Imprisoned Passen.
GERS Are Cremated.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. Zone of the
most disastrous wrecks in the history
of the Rock Island railway system &C.
Cured near Alta Vista, fifty miles
west of Topeka, when passenger train
No. 20, southbound, and No. 80; north
bound, collided headon while travelling
at a high rate of speed. The brunt
of the collision was sustained by No..
20, which was heavily laden with pas
sengers. The cars on this train went
into the ditch and several of them
caught fire and were consumed. Four
white men, a negro porter and thirty
Mexican laborers lost their lives and
fifty-five persons were injured. Many
of them, pinioned in the wreckage,
were burned to death and only their
ashes remain. Twelve of the injured
were seriously hurt and it is believed
that half of them will die. The Mex
leans were en- route to Ell Paso to
work for the Rock Island railroad.
But few persons on train No. 30 were
seriously injured. The cars on this
train were not badly damaged.
But few trainmen were injured The
engineers and tiremen of both trains
and most of the trainmen jumped in
time to save themselves.
Telegraph Operator Responsible.
Blame for the collision seems to
rest upon John Lynes, the telegraph
operator at Volland, who disappeared
but was captured later. Orders had
been issued for No. 29 and No. 80 to
pass at Volland. These orders had
been sent to the operator at Volland,
who was instructed to hold No. 20 at
that point. 1t is stated he for some
reason failed to deliver the order to
the crew Of No. 20 and the latter train
went by, meeting No. 30 few miles
west of Volland.
Lynes fed before the wreck &C.
CURED after first forecasting the i'm
pending collision. Five minutes be-.
fore the trains met he called up the
dispatcher and wired him as follows:
mo. 20 has gone and have gone
ALSO"
Then he left his key. Even with
this dispatch in hand there was no
possible way Of preventing the wreck.
Both trains were heavy ones, having
ten cars each, including Pullman
sleepers and tourists, chair cars and
coaches, smokers and baggage cars.
No. 20 was crowded to the doors with
passengers, but the number of travel
ers on No. 80 was not large.
