Forty persons were killed and seven
we're seriously injured IN = head-on
collision between two inter-urban
ears on the Fort Wayne and Bluffton
division OF the Fort Wayne and Wa
bash Valley line yesterday evening
The wreck occurred seven miles
north of Button at sharp curve.
The cars in collision were a north
a southbound extra" car from Fort
Wayne. They met while both were
running at high speed.
The motormen OF the two cars did
not have time TO set brakes when
they sighted each other. The heav-
lily loaded northbound car was crush
ed and into the other car was crush
ed and the bodies OF the dead and
injured were strewn on either side
of the track amid the wreckage. The
screams of the injured men and wo-
men following the crash OF the cars
brought the neighboring farmers to
the scene.
Conductor Spiller, OF the south
bound car, was unhurt and ran back
toward Kingsland and tagged car
which was approaching the wreck at
full speed and would have plunged
into it.
Wrecking cars and physicians were
rushed from Fort Wayne and Bluff
ton and the bodies of the dead and
the injured were conveyed to hos
pitfalls in the two cities.
The authorities of Wells County
and officials of the traction company
to-day began it's Investigation to de-
termine the responsibility for the col
lision.
The superintendent of the company
said to-day that the disregarding Of
orders by the moterman of the south
bound car was probably the cause
for the accident.
