ONE MAN KILLED IN COLLISION
State Senator Thrown From His Seat
Against Radiator of the Car and
is Held in Hotel Hospital at Corliss
will Recover in Few Weeks.

State Senator Isaac T. Bishop, of the
town of Somers, met with very severe
injuries at Corliss just after six
o. clock Saturday night when he was
one Of the victims of collision be-
tween a way freight and passenger
train on the tracks Of the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway. In
the same accident Charles Farbush of
Racine, engineer in charge of the
freight train, was instantly killed and
a dozen other people were injured.
Senator Bishop was ON his way to his
home in the town of Somers and was
sitting in the smoking compartments of
the passenger train. When the COLI
sion came he was thrown from his seat
with great violence and his body struck
a radiator in the car. His head,
shoulders and arms were terribly bruis-
ed and at the time it was thought he
had suffered internal injuries which
might prove fatal. He was taken to
the hotel at Corliss which had been
turned into an emergency hospital fol
lowing the accident and after bad
night he showed great improvement on
Sunday morning. He will probably be
laid up for several weeks as a result
of the accident, but members of the
family declare that there is no danger
of the injuries resulting in any perma-
nent disability.
Scores of passengers on the train
were badly shaken up. Fortunately
none of them was very seriously in
jured. Engineer Farbush was buried
under his engine when, it turned turtle
and left the track.
The wreck occurred when the way
freight, consisting only Of an engine
and a caboose, was backing from the
Y to the main track, the trainmen hop
ing to get to the track and proceed to
Racine before the coming of the pas
senger train. The trains met headon.
The entire passenger train left the
track, the coaches were slightly damag-
ed, but the engine turned turtle over
the twenty foot embankment The
freight engine turned the other way,
burying the engineer under mass of
debris. Nrecking crews from Milwau-
kee and Chicago came to clear the
wreckage away, take out the body Of
Engineer Farbush and repair the twist
ed tracks.
The dead engineer was 40 years old,
and leaves wife and children.
The most seriously injured are:
Fireman Ralph Sivers, cut and badly
bruised.
Conductor. F. Sweeney, Of the pas
senger train, thrown from seat in a
car and injured on the head, arms and
body.
Engineer Peter Haddock of Milwau,
kee, left shoulder sprained and both
arms bruised, saved himself by jump
ing through car window when he saw
the impending collision.
Fireman E. L. Dodge, 1925 High
ridge, Milwaukee, head scalded, hair
burned off, and limbs badly bruised
W. Gaens, eolored portor, shoulder
hurt and otherwise injured.
