The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-03-28

H. J. Weishlan, an engineer; Charles
Summers, fireman, and C. R. Organ,
brakeman, were instantly killed at
3:45 Monday morning, when a west
bound freight train on the Great North
ern struck a rock slide just east of
Wrencoe.
James Wiley, track walker, was over
the track at the point where the slide
occurred not three minutes before He
walked west and took position at the
side of the track to wait the passing of
the train. He saw the headlight sud-
denly disappear and heard the crash.
By the time he had reached the place
all was still, and there was not even the
kissing of escaping steam.
The engine had turned a complete
somersault and stood half submerged in
the river. Wiley ran to a construction
camp near by and gave the alarm. In
the meanwhile S. A. Mead, the conduc-
tor, made sway to the front of the
IfdlH anu, llnulHg Cne engine gone, ran
to Wrencoe.
The scene of the wreck was just a
half mile east of the point where the
Tuesday before the trestle went out
and carried two workmen into the river.
The wrecker had the track clear by
noon, and the bodies of the three train
men, all of whom lived at Hillyard, have
been recovered.
