FREIoAr TRAINS IN WRECK.
Traffic on Illinois Central Tied up Sun
day Because of Collision.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Sept. 9.-Traffic on the
Illinois Central was tied UP here sew
oral hours by u Lad freight wreck here.
Sunday afternoon, An east bound
stock train had pulled into the sta
ton and the rear of the train was
rear the sunny Side crossing when
na0ihcr train camo down the grade
.nnr the west and hit the head train
cal oose, reducing It to kirdling wood.
Two Hat cars ard coal car were
thrown clear Of the track and badly
Gnniagcd, as was the On inc of the
second train. The engineer and fire.
man Of the second train Jumped just
before the collision occurred and cs-
capped injury with the exception of the
Freeman, who sustained u broken arm.
The cause Of the wreck seems In doubt
but The opinion prevails that on tho
down grade, the air either failed to
work or the momentum of the train
on tho srade ovcrcame the efforts OF
The engineer TO bring his train under
control and the smashup ensued. When
;he engineer Of the rear train found
he could not prevent n collision, ne
blew the danger alarm and the con-
ductor OF the head train, who started
towards the front end of his train,
rushed back and informed two stock
men in the caboose Of the approaching
danger and they escaped just as the
trains came together. Wrockers from
Fort DODGE and Waterloo arrived early
in Nthe evening and by morning had
the wreckage sufficiently cleared away
to allow yhe resumption of traffic. The
evening passenger trains transferred
around the wreck and the night trains
were detOurCd.

means of which it learns of the meth
DDS and experiences of physicians al

Cnment on the successful treatment or

county representatives the method or
