Last Saturday forenoon the 11:0O

leaving Decorah at that hour was
wrecked in the Calmar yards. Some
80 passengers were on the train, and
all but two were in the day coach.
The Decorah train was pulling into
the yards at Calmar and the Cedar
Rapids train was pulling in from Fort
Atkinson. The Decorah train was
pulling up to the depot little ahead
of the Cedar Rapids train. The tracks
are V shaped and the two trains came
together at this point. The switchman
signaled the engineer on the Cedar
Rapids train, but for some reason he
did not heed the warning and his en-
gine bumped into the Decorah coach
es, hitting one of them on the side
and the day coach and baggage car
were both tipped over. Fortunately
both trains were moving slowly, the
Decorah train being almost at
standstill.
Nearly all of the passengers were
more or less injured. we understand,
but no fatalities occurred, which was
very fortunate. ,
Mrs. G.. s. Gorder sustained a brok-

Mrs. Chas. Broghammer received a
