THREE CARS SMASHED
sMoKER AND DAY COACH TELE-
scoPEp AND HARDLY AN
OCCUPANT ESCAPED.

Marshalltown, Ia.-Forty-five per-
sons were killed and 3S were Injured,
many of them fatally, in a wreck Of a
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific train
four and half miles north of Green
Mountain. Ia, Tuesday morning.
The train. which was a consolida-
ton of one from Chicago and one from
st. Louis, bound for Minneapolis, was
being detoured over the tracks Of the
Chicago Great Western road.
Running at about thirty miles an
hours in a cut north of Green Noun
tain, 1t struck spread rail, it is be-
Nsved.
I The pilot locomotive jumped the
track and with terrific force was
buried in an embankment of soft clay.
A second locomotive coupled behind
the first rolled over and the impact
of the sudden stoppage hurled all the
rear cars forward.
A coach, a smoker and Pullman
car were smashed to splinters, almost
all the occupants being killed or in
5ured.
The superstructure of the Pullman
was literally shaved off and was
1ammed like ramrod through the
smoker and day coach.
Many passengers were apparently
killed outright.
The wreckagc was almost crimson
with blood. some of the bodies being
crushed beyond recognition by the
mass of twisted rails and splintered
cars.
Decapitated bodies were picked up
and 1t was almost impossible to assort
correctly the dismembered parts.
The wreck occurred at point diff
cult to reach with prompt relief. Such
bodies as could be pulled out were
stretched out in an adjoining pasture.
But first attention was given to the
wounded. The cries of these coming
from beneath the cars and from places
which were walled in, were pitiable.
Fortunately the wreckage did not
take fire.
