SPECTACULAR FREIGHT WRECK
Collision in Illinois Central Yards At
Iowa Falls During Fog.


Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Dec. 1.-Two trains fig
ured in rather spectacular wreck in
the Illinois Central yards here Monday
when westbound freight crashed in
to the rear of another train standing
on the tracks within the yard limits.
The first freight had pulled into the
yards and had taken coal at the
chuees near the eastern yard limits.
The engine was then cut off and the
crew came down to the depot for lunch.
short time later another freight
bound in the same direction came
down the hill towards the eastern yard
limits. A dense fog prevailed at the
time and the engineer of the second
train evidently did not see the tail
lights of the train ahead of him in time
to avert trouble. The engine crashed
i:s.o the caboose, severing it in twain.
1t then pushed on and demolished a
car of potatoes and ended up by hit
ting car of -four. The fires from
the engine set the wreckage on fire
and the most Of it was consumed.
Luckily there was no one in the
ca boose at the time OF the wreck would
have been more serious. The crew of
the second engine jumped and escaped
with slight injuries. Traffic was de-
layed for several hours
