The Dunning case does not now be-

ruins Of the passenger train No. on
the Big Four railroad which was de.
stroyed by the explosion Of Q carload
of powder as 1t passed q freight tram
at Sanford, Ind, nine miles west OF
here, Saturday night. The number OK
injured will total at least 35.
The three coaches of the passenger
train were filed. The entire train, IN
GLIDING the engine, was blown from
the track, the coaches demolished. the
engine hurled 80 feet and the pas
sengers either blown to pieces, con-
sumed by fire or rescued In more or
less injured condition.
The full extent of the disaster was
revealed at daylight Sunday morning,
but the death list will not be CON-
plete until workmen now clearing the
debris, have finished their task.
According to trainmen of the freight,
the explosion Of the powder was
caused by the concussion made by the
passing passenger train. which was
slowing down for the station at Sand
ford. Another theory is that gas es-
Gaping from an oil pipe line nearby
entered the car containing the powder
and spark from the passing engine
ignited the gas.
Not a home in Sanford escaped.
Windows were shattered. dishes and
furniture broken, and in some in
stances doors were torn from their
hinges.
The train was an accommodation
passenger, running from Indianapolis
to Mattcan, ILL.,, and was destroyed at
$3.50 p. m. 1t was a dark night and
heavy rains had converted the streets
and tracks at Sanford into a sea OF
mud and water. AS the passenger
engine went by the powder car OF the
freight train standing en- an adjoining
track the explosion came.
Cries Of the injured and the crack
ling of the fierce flames greeted the
rescuers, who worked frantically, but
soon were forced back by the terrible
heat s ,...a
There was no efficient water supply
to fight the flames and the bitter cold
added to the suffering.
