to standstill. The freight crew failed
to notice the fire until too late to stop
the engine Seven cars were derailed
and badly demolished. Three Of the in
jured men were brought to the hospital
at Sedalia for treatment. No one is
permitted to see them and it is i'm

or get story from them. 1t is known,
however, that they are seriously in
