Three men had miraculous escapes
from instant death yesterday morn
ing when north-bound manifest
freight train, No. 1852, crashed into
the rear OF freight train, No. 1872,
one mile past Calvert City and about
20 miles east of Paducah.
The cause OF the wreck has not
been determined yet, but It is said
that a misunderstanding in tagging
was the cause. Engineer Crosby
says he did not see any warning
signal out, while the fagman on the
other freight said he was out. After
the crash the wreck caught fire. and
FIVE cars were destroyed and engine,
No. S72, was ditched. Traffic was
delayed by the wreck, and the fast
passenger train, No. 1902, did not get
through on a clear track until yes
terday afternoon about 5 O'Clock.
Freight train, No. 1872, known as
ia "slop" freight, left Paducah Sun
day morning at COS O'Clock with
Engineer Galloway and Conductor
Coyle in charge. Ten minutes later
manifest freight train, No. 1872. de-
parted with Engineer John Crosby
and Conductor Flynn in charge. The
train had orders to pass the slow
freight at Calvert City. Instead Of
running into the switch train, No.
lSe, ran ahead. and was preparing
to back in. IL is said that the flag
man Jumped out. and tried to flag
the approaching train with his hat,
but Engineer Crosby said he failed
to see him. Seeing the crash was
inevitable Engineer Crosby shut OF
the steam, applied the air and jump
ed from the engine. He sprained
his right ankle, and his right Shout
der was sprained and bruised. Cros-
by resides at 1919 Jefferson street.
Fireman Clarence Bazzell, who
lives at 900 South Eleventh street
was not so fortunate, and he did not
see the danger until his engineer
Jumped Before Bazzell could jump
the big engine plOwed its way
through the caboose of train No. 1872,
and the engine turned over on its
right side. Fireman Bazzell was
caught in the wreckage by his right
arm between the hand and elbow.
He tried to extricate himself, but
was unable, and the Kissing steam
was all around him. To add to his
discomfort the wreck caught fire. It
was half an hour before he was
rescued. and he looked around the
smashed cab for something with
which TO cut his right arm OF and
free himself.
