KILLED IN CALMAR WRECK.
Firemen Loses Life in Collision in
Railroad Yards at CaImar Friday
Morning.

"Calmar was again visited early
Friday morning at about 1925 o..
clock by bad railroad wreck, in the
yards this being the second bad
wreck in the yards here in a few
months. This accident happened in
the east end of the yard limits. The
yard crew had a string of cars switch
ing, where the yard is only a single
track, when an extra freight train
came into the yards from the East
and collided with the switch engine
Herbert c. David, who was the
tiremen on the switch engine was
killed instantly his body being horri-
bly, mangled, his head being severed
from his body, one leg and one arm
torn off, and he otherwise badly mu-
tilated, under the wreckage. He was
a married man and has one child, his
home being at Monona, Iowa. He
was subbing for Robert "Opens, and
this was only his second night on
duty here.
VIM. Blackmar, engineer on the
switch engine when he saw that his
engine was going to be crashed into,
told his firemeI to jump, and he him
self did so and saved himself from
the fate of the unlucky fireman, who
failed to jump probably not realizing
his danger in time to make an escape.
The engineer and fireman on the
freight train both jumped when they
realized there would be a crash H. E.
Miller, the engineer, sustained injur-
les to his back. He has been taken to
his home at Austin, Mimi.
One of the brakemen on the extra
Joseph H. Lux has broken leg, and
Chris Morley, fireman on the extra
had his face cut some. They were
both from Austin, Mimi.
Passenger train No. / was held up
here for several hours, being unable
to get by the wreck until the track
was cleared of the wreckage and the
track repaired. Fortunately the
wrecking outfit was near,-at Law
ler-a2d brought up soon and put to
work. The steam derrick soon cleared
the track.
The switch engine was a mass of
wreckage in the ditch and the big
freight engine was across the track
and crushed and twisted out of all
shape. Several freight cars were de-
rallied and the track torn up.
1t made stout hearts quake to look
