dashed into the river but luckily the
water. was shallow at this point and
the passengers were rescued by the
train crew. One man, thought to have
been drowned. was found mile away
from the accident. Owing to the weak

on their own line, the Pennsylvania
trains are sent over the Big Four

this, will ask the Rock Island people

will have more time in OSkalOOsa or

der the present system they have TO

connection with the passenger train
from Evans 10 Oskaloosa. Sometimes
the freight train IS too late at Evans

around 10 Beacon, then TO OskaloOsa,
which makes their time short TO at
tend 10 their business At other
times, the freight is on time al Evans,
and tie passenger train is late, hence
another delay, and waen they are late
and time is short, they often miss the
Rock Island at noon, or neglect their
business. When they miss this train,
their only alternative is 10 come to
Evans on the / 100 p. m. train and stay
there until the local freight makes
its return trip 10 Knoxville. which
varies from 1:50 .. m. TO 700 p. m.
or remain in Oskaloosa until the next
day. Now this makes il inconyenient
and by having the Firefiy run through
here in the morning on the way to
Davenport. and return on il at night
on its return, would give them all the
time they want. also a through train,
leaving on schedule time They feel
as though this would make larger
passenger business on this line as
