WRECKS KILL TEN E;
IN BADGER STATE
Accidents Occur Near Green
Bay and Camp Douglas.
TRACKS WERE WASHED OUT
Passenger Trains Go Into Ditch as
Result of Heavy Rains-Ail But One
Who Lost Lives Were Members of
Train Crew-Over Thirty Injured.

Green Bay, Sept. 3.-Fiye mem
bers OF the train crew and one pas
senger were killed at 1880 o'clock
Sunday morning when Chicago and
Ashland limited train No. 112, south
bound, of the Chicago & Northwest
ern road was wrecked at a washout
two miles north of Lyndhurst, which
is fifty miles northwest of this city.
Twenty-six members of the crew
and passengers were injured, seven
of them seriously, and more than
loo passengers were severely shak-
en- up.
The dead are:
Bushey. Charles, conductor, Mil
waukee.
Marx. George NJ, brakeman, Mil
waukee.
Bennett, Carroll. baggageman, An
tigo.
Sheldon. Stuart G., express mes
senger, Milwaukee.
Jones, John, engineer, Green Bay.
Calkins, w. F., passenger, Shaw
ano.
Heroic work by passengers and
surviving members of the train crew
under great difficulties saved many
lives, and heavy downpour OF rain
prevented the wreckage from being
consumed by fire. Relief and wreck
ing trains were sent from Green Bay
and Amigo and the dead and in
jured were removed to hispitals in
Green Bay.
The train consisted of a smoker,
mail car, baggage car, three Pullman
sleeperss and day coaches and was
bowling along at a rate of thirty
miles an hour when it struck wash
out, caused by a cloudburst. which
had carried away a considerable sec
tion of the track
The engine was thrown on its side
as It plowed with terrific force
through the roadbed. The baggage
car next was telescoped, pinioning
four of those killed under the de-
bris. The mail and a smoking car
tipped over. Although the other
cars were derailed, they remained
upright.
among the injured are members
Of the Wausau baseball club of the
Observation-Disclosures league, who were
enroute to Green Bay. A number of
them We're severely injured.
Those who escaped uninjured
quickly recovered from the shock
and turmoil and worked heroically
to rescue trainnen who were pin
toned under the wreckage. The
bodies of the conductor, expressman,
baggageman and brakeman were
found under debris of the baggage
car. They had been killed instantly
Alex. Schools, mail clerk, was alive
when aid reached him and for five
hours he was held under the wreck
age while the rescuers struggled to
release him. He was badly crushed,
but may survive his injuries.
The scene Of the wreck is in an
isolated spot and in thickly wooded
section. Before news of the wreck
could be communicated to Green
Bay, it was necessary for Herbert
Husisbeck, news agent, to run to the
nearest depot, mile and a half dis
tant, and wire for relief trains upon
order of W. D. Cantillion, general
manager of the Northwestern road,
whose special car was attached to the
wrecked train.
