Seven Persons Killed and a

ON THE MISSOURI PACIFIC

WRECK IN CHAOTIC SHAPE
Heavy Fog Prevailed at the Time
Of the Crash-Failed to
Take Siding.

SEDALIA, Mo-, July 2.-Missouri Pa
cifc passenger trains Nos. and II met
in a head-on collision two and a half
miles east of Knobnoster, Mo-. early this
morning. Seven persons are reported
killed and a large number injured.
ST. LOUIS, July "a long-distance
telephone communication with Sedalia
concerning the Missouri Pacific wreck
that occurred twenty miles east of there
early today is to the effect that seven are
known to have been killed and a score
were injured. The fast Missouri Pacific
California limited, which left st. Louis
at 1910 last night. and the st. Joseph
express, bound to st. Louis. met head-on
between Lamont and Knobnoster.
The wreckage Of the engines and mall
cars Is reported to be in such chaouc
shape that until a wrecking train clears
it away to a large extent It cannot be
positively determined how many dead
bodies are in the debris.
The cause of the collision has not been
determined, but 1t is believed that the
failure of the California limited to take
the siding near Knobnoster caused the
disaster.
The track at the scene is level and with
out curves, but a heavy fog prevailed at
the time and prevented the engineers
from seeing ahead any distance.
A special train bearing all available
physicians in Sedalia went to the scene.
and 1t is believed the dead and injured
will be brought back there.
The California limited carried two mail
cars a baggage car two chair cars. two
sleepers and an observation dining car.

SEA LIONS CAPTURE GULLS.


The sea lion displays no little skill
and cunning in capturing gulls.
When in pursuit the sea lion dives
deeply under water and swims some
distance from where it disappeared ;
then, rising cautiously, it exposes the
tip of its nose along the surface, at
the same time giving it a rotary mo-
ton. The unwary bird near by
alights to catch the object, while the
sea lion at the same moment settles
beneath the waves and at one bound,
with extended jaws, seizes its scream
ing prey and instantly devours it.
