one persons were Killed ana thirty IN
lured, a number fatally, IN wreck
this afternoon ON the Ligonicr Valley
An overloaded passenger coach,
pushed by AN engine, was struck by a
doublc-header freight train of coal
cars, crushing the coach like paper
ana spreading death and injury to all
but one aboard the train.
The accident occurred AT the fair
grounds at Wilpen, one and halt
miles from Ligonirr "A summer resort
The passenger train consisted OF but
one coach, being pushed by an engine,
and, while generally speaking, the
freight struck the rear of the train. the
collision was head-on. The freight
tram was being pulled by two heavy
locomotives and the impact when they
crashed into the crowded coach was
terrific.
That any escaped death seems mi
raculous, as bodies Of dead and injured
were hurled through the air or crush
ed in the debris when the locomotives
split the coach almost in twain. This
