TWENTY PEOPLE INJURED
 IN PASSENGER WRECK

Lexington, Ky, March 24.-Twenty peo- pie were injured. three fatally, in a head on collision between a Blue Grass special passenger train on the Queen and Cres- cent railroad and a special freight train, No. 6l6 at Curdvlle Crossing. between Burgin and High Bridge, in Mercer 1coun- ty, early today. The Blue Grass special was on its way to Lexington and Ciacin- natl. The cause of the wreck as near as can be ascertained is owing to the fact that the night operator for the Queen and Crescent had been relieved several weeks ago and that the day op- orator had not yet reported for duty. When the Blue Grass special reached the Burgin depot there was no order and the train rushed by. At Curdville crossing the freight was also proceeding at good speed and crashed into it. The cars were badly piled up and several hours will be required to clear the track.
 Danville and Burgin physicians respond ed to the call for help and rushed to the scene. The injured are being brought to Lexington on a special train.
 The injured;
