TRAINS COLLIDE AT MORRIS
Browns Valley Passenger Backs Into
Freight Standing on Main Line.

Browns Valley Passenger Backs Into
Freight Standing on Main Line.
Confusion over train orders in this
city late Saturday morning is believed
to have caused train wreck which
occurred on the main line at the
Browns Valley ''Y" when the passen-
ger on the branch backed into an en-
CINE pulling freight, injuring seven
people, some of them seriously, and
shaking up score of others. Miss
Agnes McAleer, Of this city, is con-
fined to bed at her home suffering
from injuries to the back and ankle
while R. H. Lundberg, a Chokio bank
er, is minus a right thumb. Wilfred
Roberts, of Alberta, father of County
Superintendent of Schools Roberts, is
almost unable to be about as the re-
suit of injuries to the back and should
ers. Others who were more or less
injured are Mrs. L. B. Graves, of Cho-
kio, Miss Jennie Olander, Of this city,
Mail Clerk Hunter and Express Ag-
ent Silverman. The rear vestibule of
the passenger coach was badly smash.
ed and many of those who were in the
body was not killed outright. The &C.
road circles.
An extra freight from the west on
which Bob LeSage, of this city was
the fireman, stopped for coal and
water at the docks west of the depot
and the crew we're given orders. The
Browns Valley Passenger was due
here at the time but was ten minutes
late. After coaling the freight pulled
out and when the ''Y" was reached the
Valley passenger pulled in with Con-
ductor Warburton in charge. Wit
nesses state the freight had come to
a stop and was about to back into a
side track when the passenger backed
into the engine. At the point of COL
lision there is clear view of the
country for about mile In each direc-
ton.
When the trains crashed Assistant
Cashier Lundstrom was passing from
one car to another. In order to save
himself from falling he placed his
hand on the door end. At the same
instant the crash came and his thumb
was crushed to pulp. 1t was after
wards amputated.
Road officials at Willmar ordered an
immediate investigation and on Mon
day there was a summoning of train
crews, station officials and section
hands. What the outcome will be has
not been announced but enough is
learned to know there will be a gen.
-eral looping off of heads. A claim
agent for the company was in Morris
this week and it is understood settle
ments were made with several per-
sons who were in the wreck and who,
it was feared, might present claims
for damages later. It is also very like
ly that several damage suits will be
brought against the company unless
satisfactory settlements are affected.
