ACCIDENT IN THE YARDS
Milwaukee Freight Engine Crashed
Into an Engine Standing at
Coal Chute.

An accident that was alcking any
fatality occurred Monday at 8 a. m.
in the. yards of the Milwaukee
company. An extra freight arrived
at that hour from the south and was
in charge of Conductor Mesmer and
Engineer Morley. 1t was the lat
ter's first trip up here and he failed
to stop at the yard limits after cross
ing the bridge. The switches were
set so that he did not come in on the
main track, but carried him around
on the track leading to the coal
chute. The engine was going at a
good rate of speed. When Engineer
Morley reached the coal chute he
discovered an engine standing there,
but he could not stop his engine in
time to prevent the impending acct
dent. His fireman jumped but the
engineer stood by his engine, and
fortunately was not hurt. Engine 629,
on the freight was badly damaged by
the collision. Its head end was smash
ed in, the front trucks were driven
to the rear so that they rested be;
meath the big driving wheels and it
was thrown from the track. Engine
t121, a ten-wheeler, was damaged by
having it's head end smashed in, and
it was taken into the r%oundhouse.
