day morning had a lot of cars derailed
near Wanless, and killed an unknown
man named Phillips who was stealing
a ride. A number of cars went into

to go in the ditch. In order to trans
fer the passengers around the freight
wreck, a Coal & Iron engine was wired
for, and at Burner this engine went
off the track -Pocahontas Nv. Va
