Two engines were pulling the
heavily loaded passenger train.
Every effort was being made to make
up lost time. The rate of speed was
variously estimated at from forty to
fifty miles an hour. Suddenly there
was crashing sound and in a
moment all was confusion. Passenger
coaches left the track and were
strewn in a row along the sides of
the highway. The air was filled with
the cries of the injured and the
shrieRing of women and. children.
The train officials at once made an
eort to bring some order out of the
chaos which reigned. Organized res
cue parties dragged out the injured
passengers who were pinned in the
overturned cars. many of the passen-
gers resolved themselves into these
rescue parties and many of those who
escaped owe their lives to the prompt
work of the rescuers and the efficient
work of the corps Of physicians hur-
ried from Bismarck and Mandan to
the scene of the wreck.
Word of the train disaster was at
once telegraphed to this city and
Mandan and special trains were sent
to the relief of the injured. Physt-
clans in Mandan and Bismarck drop
ped everything and hurried to the
depots to board the specials sent to
New Salem. All of the instruments
needed in dressing the wounds of the
suffering. were taken aboard. Wreck
ing trains were also dispatched to
right the overturned cars.
The fatally injured we're taken
aboard the relief train to Mandan
where they were placed in hospitals
and those who had received only
minor injuries were taken to hotels,
where physicians dressed their
wounds.
Cause Of Wreck.
1t has been definitely decided that
the cause of the accident was a brok-
en- rail. The rail was found to have
been fractured just at the point where
the train left the track.
In addition to those whose names
are given among the injured, there
were scores of persons who sustain
ed minor injuries but who will be
able to continue their journey to the
west. They will be taken on board
No. this morning.
