FIFTEENWEREKILLED
WHOLE TRAIN BLOWS UP AT
SANFORD INDIANA.
Death List May Grow to 2o-Iniured
Number nearly 35-Car of Powder
Exploded While Big Four Passen-
ger Train Was Passlng-Entire
Train Took Fire. Many Cremated.

Terre Haute, Ind, Jan. 21-Big Four
accommodation train No. was des-
troyed by the explosion of car OF
powder at the siding east of Sanford
Ind. Fifteen persons were killed out
right, and the death list probably will
reach 20, with 30 or 35 injured The
engine, two coaches and baggage car
OF the passenger train were derailed
The identified dead:
Charles Cosnell Paris, III.
John Franklin, brakeman, Ashmore,
Ill.
A. F. Hectar farmer, Elbridge Ill.
Claude Steels, Sanford, Ill.
Reed Wolfe, wife and two children,
Sanford, Ind.
Three cremated. bodies were taken
from the wreckage and four fright
fully mutilated bodies were found in
the woods some distance from the
wreck. Four other bodies have not
been identified. 1t is believed there
are more in the wreck.
The first intimation people had of
the disaster was a shock which was
felt in Terre Haute and as far east
as Brazil, Ind, and as far south as
Sullivan, Ind. The wires were blown
down and it was some time before the
Big Four officials here learned of the
explosion.
1t is said the car contained 800 kegs
OF powder All means of communica-
ton between this city and Sanford
were cut off,
The entire passenger train was
mass of flames and the relief party
was able to reach only the passengers
who had been either blown from the
train or were able to crawl from the
coaches after the explosion.
Two Of the men who were cremated
were still alive when the relief train
from this city reached the wreck, but
the rescuers were unable to reach
them and were compelled to stand
and watch them burn.
The flames lighted up the scene so
that the rescurers did not have to
work in total darkness.
The station at Sanford was turned
into morgue.
After the physician from Paris, ILL.,,
and members of the relief party from
Terre Haute arrived the flames died
down so that the men had to work by
the light of lanterns.
1t is not known how many passen-
gers there were on the train, but 1t is
said both cars were full.
Many gruesome finds were made by
the relief party and it is probable that
some of those who were blown to
piects or were cremated will never be
identified
From the most definite information
the freight train had just
cleared the main track and had come
to a standstill when the passenger
started to pass it. It is thought that
the conclusion caused by the passen.
ger train set of the powder in the
freight car.
Powder Exploded by Conclusion.
According to trainmen of the freight,
the powder was exploded by the con-
cussion made by the passenger train,
which was slowing down for the sta
ton at Sanford. Another theory is
that gas escaping from an oil pipe line
nearby entered the powder car and a
spark from the passing engine ignited
the gas Others express the belief
that the disaster was due to a tramp
or intoxicated man firing a shot into
the car.
