in ambulances to the Missouri Pa
cifc Hospital. A priest who was
passing through the station admin
istered extreme JUNCTION to the three
men.
The special train was met by a
corps of doctors and nurses who
were at the station in waiting.
The trains met in a head-on coll
lisiop and were thrown down a
steep embankment at a point about
four miles south of Marquand,
Mo-, on the Belmont branch of the
Iron Mountain Railroad. The pass
enger train, No. 400, carried a
number of St. Louis passengers,
several of whom were injured.
The overlooking of his train or
ders by the engineer of the local
freight, No. 692, is said to have
been the cause of the collision.
The elder Paul, knowing that his
train had the right of way, was
running at full speed when the
trains came together, wrecking
both engines.
A relief train was made up at
Fredericktown, six miles from the
scene of the accident, as soon as
the news reached there, and sur
geons and nurses were hurried to
the scene to aid il caring for the
injured passengers. These were
later placed on the special train
and brought to st. Louis, where
ambulances from the City Dispen-
sary and from the Missouri Pacific
Hospital, accompanied by sur
geons and nurses, awaited their
arrival at Union Station.
The injured wer placed on board
q relief train, and taken to Pevely,
Mo-, where they were given tenn
porary treatment and then brought
to st. Louis.
