THE"KATYFLYER"WRECEE
MET A FREIGHT TRAIN THREE
MILES NORTH or MuskocEE.
Flowed Through Each Other for Six
Car Lengths-Two Hundred
People On Board.

Muskogee, Ok, May 16.-south-
bound passenger train No. 5 on the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad,
due to arrive In Muskogee at 11:2O
Friday morning and running so min
utes late, collided head-on three miles
north of Muskogee at noon with a
northbound through freight. Two
trainmen were killed. and Is pas
sengers injured. Budie West OF Par
sons, Kan, express messenger on the
flyer, and James Lanahan, engineer Of
the freight train were killed.
Two hundred passengers were
aboard when the crash came. The
train which was the one running be-
tween st. Louis and Texas points and
Old Mexico left st. Louis Thursday
night at S:32. At Parsons, Kan, It
makes connections with section Of
the train from Kansas City. The
wreck was due to Engineer Lanahan
Of the freight train mistaking orders.
The two heavy trains came together
with terrific impact and plowed
through each other for six car
lengths. Both engines, two express
cars and two freight cars were tele-
scoped. Budie West, the express mes
senger on the flyer, was caught in the
crash and was instantly killed, his
heart being torn out.
James Lanahan, engineer OF the
freight train noticed the on-cpming
flyer when It was one-half mile away.
He applied the air and whistled for
brakes. He jumped just as the two
engines crashed together and fell
down, au embankment. Before he
could arise, car loaded with lumber
toppled over on him and he was
buried. His body is still in the debris.
The injured were brought to Mus
kogee on a special train.
