"A somewhat unusual train wreck
occurred on the Chicago-Milwaukee line
last week, involving a $50, 600 loss. The
train, freight, was running very rap
| idly toward Milwaukee, when, in front
of the lakewood station, the engine
| jumped the track, carrying twentyfour
cars with it, leaving only the caboose
on the track. One car ran into the
station, overturning the hot coal stove
and setting fire to the building. Had
it occurred during the day, the oper-
ator might have been killed, as the
ticket Office was completely demolished.
The station and eight cars, all loaded
with merchandise, were burned. It
was a strange coincident that this ac-
cident occurred within thirty rods of
the passenger wreck about ten days
ago The cause of the wreck is I'M
! known.
