Fast Passenger Train on Northwestern
Pacific Crashes into Work Train
at IgnaCio, California, With
Terrible Results
ENGINE PLOWS THROUGH FRONT
OF CROWDED SMOKING CAR
Twelve or More Badly Injured; Cause of Disaster
Said to Be Mistake on Part of
Conductor

The passenger train was travelling at a
speed of 40 miles an hour and the spe"
cial was also going at q fair speed.
Error Of Conductor.
At the office of the dispatcher of the
Northwestern Pacific, the information
was given out that one Of the conduc-
tors had made a mistake III his orders
and failed to take siding.
Suddenly the passengers were hurled
forward by the quick shutting down or
the brakes and at the same time there
came a terrific impact and the sound
of escaping steam. The two engines
plunged into each other. The baggage
car and the smoker were crushed to-
gether so that two-thirds of the smoker
was telescoped
When the dazcd passengers made
their way out Of the three rear coaches,
which were unllarmed, they found Il pa
tbctic scene. II was light enough to
see plainly From the crushed smoking
car came shrieks and groans and the
waving of blood stained arms. 1t seemed
as though the passengers in the smoker
-between twenty-five and thirty men
had been caught in a sitting position
and those who were not killed were
penned in so by the weight over their
legs that they were unable TO help
themselves or their neighbors in mis-
fortune,
Work Of Rescue Difficult.
A few men made their way out of
the panic stricken throng to the for
ward end Of the smoker, where tho
greatest damage mad been done. They
had no tools but they tried by unaidcd
strength to pull away windows and
iumbIcd tim bcrs In that mass Of wood
and flesh, however, there was little
movement.
The work on the rear half of the
smoker was easier. Some of the res
cuers scattered to nearby houses to
telephone for help, while others sought
TO get the injured out of the wreck,
The body of one man was lying at the
side of the track with his head gone.
Another man was sitting IN window
Of the smoker, dead, an expression of
mingled wonder and pain on his face
The messenger, q young man named
Emerson, was found dead Engineer
Reynolds of the passenger train was
badly injured and Il quick examination
of the wreck of the other cab showed
the dead bodies of the engineer and the
fireman.
At least fifty automobiles visited the
scene Of the wreck during the evening,
Their occupants assisted III carrying the
injured away and jumped to the aid of
tne rcscuefS whenever an oppolVuibey y
offered. A huge bonfire was lit to help
the rescuors. BY tbis light it was seen
that still more bodies were at the bot
tom of the wrcclzage. The best lnfor-
nation WAS that there were three bod
les still buried ut midnight,
The conductor Of the special was hys-
terical and was unable to explain how
he happened to run has train into the
| regular passengers. The orders, it is
understood. were that tho special should
wait at 1gnacIo for the regular,

persons were killed and at least twelve
injured, several of them badly. tonight,
when passenger train No. 6 on the
Northwestern Pacific railroad. running
between San Francisco and Santa Rosa,
met in head on collision with light
engine mile and half south of this
place. The engines met with such force
that the engine of the work train which
consisted of caboose and two light
fiat cars, shunted the passenger engine
10 one side and plowed part way
through the baggage car, causing the
baggage car and the smoker TO tclc-
scope partly. Most all the men in the
forward part of the smoker were killed
and all in the rear were injured In
some manner.
RELIEF trains were rushed from both
ends of the line TO the scene Of the
wreck, Some of the dead were brought
4 to San Rafael and some to Santa Rosa.
The injured were taken in various di.
rections, making the list OF names diff
cult to obtain. Owing to the way in
which the cars were piled the work of
rescue WAS extremely difficult and at
midnight there were bodies still IN the
wrecllage.
II was said that it would be impos-
sible To get all OF the bodies out be-
fore morning.

In the wiadow of Clark'S hard
ware store is noticeable a beanti-
full altar made by Mr.. F.S. ThoRas
for ST. Paul's Episcopal chuHh at
Edneyville. 1t is a beautiful
specimen of his handicraft.
In another window several oil
heaters are to be seen. Among
them is a cardboard conspicuosly
representing two nude females,
as drying by the heaters after
a bath, or after having been bap-
TIED, or something like that. Mr..

windows represents the Episeopa-

The third window is empty, as
yet, represents no particular de

Buck Forest Property 70 Be Con-
verted Into Playground And
Used As Annex To Battery
Park.
Asheville Citizen.
The valuable tract of land In
Pennsylvania county known as
Buck forest becomes the property
of the Coke estate as the suit of
Carson VS.. the trustees of the Coke
estate This case came on for
trial at the term OF the Superior
court of Pennsylvania county sit
ting last week. Evidence for the
plaintiff was introduced through
three days, and then before the de-
PENDANTS offered any evidence a
compromise was agreed upon and
the case settled out of court. By
the terms of the compromise the
Carsons received $4,000, the de-
PENDANTS to settle all the costs IN
the case.
Clears Way For Defendant.
The settlement of this important
suit means much to the city of
Asheville. Buck forst contains
several thousand acres, and is one
of the most beautiful tracts In
this section. It is only about
twenty-five miles from AsheviHe,
and Is easily accessible from this
city. The trustees of the Coke
estate, In whom the title is now
perfected, will proceed with the
development of this property, and
make it a beauty spot hard to
equal.
Through the property winds the
Little River along which are a
number of beautiful waterfalls.
1t is well forested, and will lend
itself very readily to the develop
ment work which is planned.
VIII Build Large Lake.
The idea Is to turn the whole
property into a vast playground
to be used as an annex to the Bat
terry Park hotel In the way of a
game and fishing preserve. 1t is
the intention to construct a large
dam and develop a great water
pOWer. A lake covering FIVE
hundred acres will be built, and
this stocked with fish. A hand
some club house viii be erected
somewhere on its borders.
The whole viii be one big park
and since it is SO close to the city,
and SO easy of access, it will with
out doubt prove a strong drawing
feature for the Battery Park. The
work of identifying this proper
ty was begun some time ago, but
all the work was held mp by the
suit instituted. The settlement
f this leaves the trustees of the
soxe estate free to resume their
plans for developing the tract.
A number of prominent attor-
neys of the city were connected
with the suit. Appearing for the
Carsons were Judge ]. D.. Murphy,
Mr.. Julius G.. Martin, Mr.. W. p.
Brown and several from Transyl-
vania county. For the defendants
were Davidson, Bourne and Par
ker, and Transylvania attorneys.
