Trainmen = Aid Sum-
moned by Telephone from
Bellows Falls

In a head-on collision between pas
senger train and freight train three
miles northwest of Bellows Falls on the
Rutland railroad late yesterday after

wrecks ever known in that section,
seven persons were killed practically
outright and three Others were injured
so that they died within few hours,
making toll of 10.
In the list of dead is one trainman
who is missing, but whose body is sup
posed TO be in the wreckage.
The passenger train was the Mon
treal express from Boston, carrying
probably more than 80 passengers, and
remarkable fact is that none of the
passengers outside the list of dead was
hurt seriously.
The wreck occurred a few minutes
before ) Q clock on a sharp curve near
where the Williams river empties into
the Connecticut river, and it is supposed
to have been caused by a misunder-
standing or misreading of the orders
The freight train. which was running
down grade toward Bellows Falls. was
supposed to wait on a siding at Bar
louisville, about six miles from Bellows
Falls, for the passenger train to pass,
but it failed to do so
Running an hour and a half late out
of Keene. the express made up few
minutes between there and Bellows
Falls, and at the time of the accident
it was running from 90 to % miles an
hour. As it approached the curve near
Williams river the freight train came
in sight. and the passenger engineer ap-
piled his emergency brake. Then came
the crash. which demolished both loco
motives, two milk cars, combination
baggage and smoking car and several
freight cars. besides causing terrible
loss of life.
Next behind the passenger locomotive
were two milk ears, both empty, and
behind them was the combination car
the smoking compartment being ahead
of the baggage section and containing
five passengers. Following was a pas
senger ear, dining car and Pullman
The impact derailed both locomotives
