BROKEN RAIL IS
CAUSE Of WRECK
One Passenger Killed and Twenty ln-
jured, Several Seriously-Acci-
dent Occurs Near Chicago,
on Burlington Road
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 9.-suburban 9. passen-
ger train No. ia on the Burlington
railroad, running between Aurora, ILL.,,
and Chicago, was wrecked today near
Lawdale, six miles from the city, and
twenty passengers were hurt and sew
eral are reported to have been killed.
The train was running at high speed
when the engine struck a broken rail
and leaped from the track. 1t dragged
the baggage car and one coach with
it and all three rolled down small
embankment. The other five coaches
remained on the track.
After leaving the rails the engine slid
along the track for fifty feet and turned
over. 1t rolled down the bank, drag
ging with it the first passenger coach
and the baggage car. The roof of the
first coach was smashed in and all the
passengers were injured more or less
severely.
The wreckage caught fire, but the
flames were quickly eXtinguished. The
steam from the engine burned some of
the passengers, but the injuries from
this cause were not severe. The pas
sengers in the first coach were hurled
into pile. They were rescued with
difficulty. The majority of the injured
were not seriously hurt. Those whose
injury was more severe were carried
away from the wreck and placed on
blankets on the ground. Then they
were carried by ambulances to hos
pitfalls and nearby drug stores.
Harry Newlands the engineer, was
badly scalded and cut, but he aided
in the rescue work. He was unable to
account for the accident, unless the
rails spread.
Mrs. Mary Miller, whose hips were
crushed. died on the way to a hospital
She was the widow of Thomas Miller
formerly freight traffic manager of the
Burlington. When the car overturned
Mrs. Miller was thrown between the
seats and the wreckage piled upon her.
She was conscious when taken from the
car and insisted that she was not badly
hurt She died, however, as she was
being carried into the hospital.

Paickly Pear As Cattle Feed.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 2l.-The
value of the prickly pear is to be de.
termined in the experiments now being
carried on at the government expert.
ment farm near this city. The farm
is in charge of DR.. David Griffin. The
experiments with prickly pears have
been carried on for two years on the
farm of A. b. Sinclair under the di.
rectiOn of the government experts.
DR.. Griffin says that native varieties
of the pear have been found to pro-
duce at the rate of over 20 tons an
acre for the period mentioned. Dem
onstrations SO far have shown that one
acre of prickly pear will if properly
managed produce forage enough to
maintain one COW for one year.
AT the local experiment station is to
be found over $50 varieties of prickly
pears from various sections of the
world where such plants grow. The
experiments are being made with a
view to determining which variety of
the cactus is best for the climate and
soil OF the southwest. Live stock men
are much interested in the prickly
pear experiments and the result will
no doubt be of great benefit to the cat
tie industry. In addition to expert
ments in growing the purpose of the
government is to make experiments
as to the best methods of preparing
the pears for feeding.
