California Limited On Santa Fe
Smashes Into Freight Train, and
Engineer May Die as Re
suit of Injuries.
OCCURRED EARLY TO-DAY
Freight Train Was on Tracks at East
End of Bridge and When Crash
Occurred Both Engines
Turned over.
Especial to the Gate City,l

FORT MADISON, Iowa, Nov. 90
Joseph Spring, engineer Of passenger
train No. on the Santa Fe may die,
and three men are seriously injured,
as the result of head-on collision be-
tween the California limited and q
freight train, which occurred on the
/, east end of the Santa Fe bridge this
morning at 4:25 o'clock. Spring was
pinned under the wreckage of his en-
CINE. The other injured are:
c. w. Kelly, Fort Madison, engineer
of the freight train.
Arthur Harding, Chicago, fireman
on freight train.
A. H. Fagler, baggageman.
Both of the engines turned over on
their side, but none of the passenger
coaches were overturned This is for
tunate as the tracks at this point are
close to the river and the coaches
might have slid into the water. The
cause for the catastrophe has not
been determined. although railroad
officials of the Santa Fe were in Fort
Madison today to determine if posi-
BILE the responsibility for the accident.
1t is believed misleading Of the sig
nails, caused the collision.
The accident occurred at the Niota,
Ill, end of the bridge. The tracks
merge here into single track to
cross the bridge. There is wide
curve before the tracks merge, and 1t
was on the single tracks that the
trains came together.
Pinned Under Wreckage.
Engineer Spring of the passenger
engine was in his seat at the engine.
when the two masses of steel and iron
came together. AS his engine turned
over on it's side like wounded horse,
Spring was caught under the wreck
age. Men worked for hours to extri-
cate him, and it was necessary even
to use acetylene blow torches to cut
away the steel and iron which was
holding him down. All during the at
tempt at rescue Spring was conscious
and several times asked for a drink
of water. He directed the rescuers
in several instances.
When he was finally taken from the
wreckage, late this morning. he was,
taken Immediately to Sacred Heart
hospital. 1t is feared that his injuries
will be- so severe that he will die.
Passengers Arc Saved.
The passengers on the limited were
none of them injured although they
were badly shaken up, and there were
some miraculous escapes from severe
cuts, because of the amount of glass
that was flying. The coaches are all
steel, fact that probably saved some
lives, as they did not telescope when
the brakes were applied as the air
was cut off when the engines met. I
The Santa Fee right of way was
torn up and is Uttered with wreckage.
Until it can be cleared the trains are
being taken to Burlington and sent out
over the C. B. & @. tracks to Gales
burg, where they are again trans
ferred to the Santa Fe.

Bishop Samuel Fallows. a graduate
Of the University of Wisconsin 90
years ago, came from Chicago to tell
this story I'm an address mt Founders

"a certain distinguished man
whom ! will not name, was asked to
come to Wisconsin tn take charge of
the co-educationaI difficulties which
were sure to come up after passage
of the bin admitting women. He
came and refused TO accept the posi-
ton IL he had to sign diplomas
awarding the bachelor degree to
women. We pleaded and begged, but
to no purpose. until a little lawyer
chap advised that we consult Web
ster. Now we all thought we knew
the English language. but took
chance. What do you think we
found? bachelor. an unmarried
