Terre HaCte, Ind, Jan. 22.-Twenty
seven charred, broken and muiilate7
bodies have been taken from the
smoldeling ruins of Passenger Train
No. 3 on the Big Four, which was de.
stroyed by the explosion of a carload
OF powder as it passed a freight train
at Stamford, Ind, nine miles west OF
here Saturday night. The number of
injured will total at least thirty-five.
The cause of the disaster has not
been fully explained, as several theo.
ries are advanced.
Shock Felt Thirty Miles.
The shock was felt for thirty miles
many believing it to be an earthquake.
The three coaches of the passenger
train We're filled. The entire train, in
GLIDING the engine, was blown from
the track, the coaches demolished, the
engine hurled fifty feet u the pas,
sengers either blown to pieces, con
sumed by fire or rescued in a more
or less injured condition.
At least thirty-tive injured, some ia
tally, are at the hospital.
Death List Not Complete.
The full extent of the disaster was
revealed at daylight Sunday morning.
but the death list will o be complete
until workmen now clearing the de
bris have finished their task.
According to trainmen on the
freight the explosion of the powder
was caused by the conclusion made
by the passing passenger train. An
other theory is that gas escaping from
an oil pipe line nearby entered the car
containing the powder and a spark
from the passing engine ignited the
gas.
Train Hurled to Pieces.
The belief was expressed by n on
two persons that the disaster was due
to the act of IA tramp or an intoxicated
person, who may have fired a shot
into the car. Cars were literally hurl
ed to pieces by the terrible force OF
the explosion. Two passenger coaches
and one baggage coach were conSum
ed by fire which broke out in the
w~reckage. The freight train which
was hauling the a of powder was
demolished. Not a home in Sandford
escaped damage. Fire broke out in the
wreckage. and before the eyes OF the
citizens, who rushed from their homes
many were burned to death before
aid could be rendered them.
