SEVERAL INJURED in WRECK
REAR END COLLISION AT "Y"

in the west part of town, shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock this morning.

headed for Omaha, when the fast mail
crashed into it. Mr.. Dewitt stated

the steam and smoke from his engine
was coming down on his side of the

mashed, but the main part of the car
is uninjured save for broken windows.
