KILLED
IN CRASH OF CARS
Runaway Freight Dashes Into
Crowded Passenger.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. ia run
away freight car crashed into a
crowded passenger car on the British
Columbia Electric Railway company's
interurban line. Fourteen persons
were killed, including the motorman
and conductor of the freight car. The
passengers were mostly workingmen.
They were bound for New Westmin-
ster. Seven were injured, two per-
haps fatally. Every person in the
passenger car was killed or injured.
The passenger car left the Van
couver station just behind an cleo
trio freight train consisting of loco
motive, box car and flat car, laden
with heavy timbers, fifty or sixty feet
long and foot thick.
Three miles out, at the head of a
grade which the freight cars had just
assembled, the coupling of the lumber
car broke and caused the lumber car
to start back toward the city. By
this time the passenger car, a quarter
of mile behind, was just leaving
Lake View station, short distance
beyond the city limits. The runaway
lumber car dashed into view at a
speed which left Motorman Thoburn
no time to move. When the impact
occurred the heavy timbers of the
fiat car slid forward and ripped the
passenger car level with the floor.
