ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 5.-From B to 40 persons were killed and at least 60 injured when Missouri Pa cific fast train known as No. 4, crashed into a local passenger train at Sulphur Springs, 26 miles south of here at 7:3O p. m. tonight, accord ing to an official bulletin issued by the Missouri Pacific here shortly before midnight.
 Four rear coaches of the local train, known as No. 32, were tele- scoped, the bulletin announced. The accident occurred at the railroad sta tion where the local passenger had stopped to take water. Engineer Glenn on the fast train was instantly killed while his firemen, J. E. Tins ley, was badly injured.
 Most of the injured, it was said, were Boy Scouts who were returning from their summer camp at Ironton, Mo, about 100 miles south of the scene of the disaster.
 The names of the dead are not known and many are said to have been so badly mangled that identifi- cation will be almost impossible.
 Relief trains from here, Poplar Bluff and DeSoto were sent to the scene of the wreck, carrying all physicians available from the towns and cities along the route. The re- lief train from Poplar Bluff was manned by union men now on strike, who offered their services when the report of the disaster reached that town.
 Because of the confusion and the debris, the relief work was greatly hindered and only slowly could the injured be taken from the wreckage Among the first of the dead to be taken from the demolished coaches were Rev. V. O. Penley, of DeSoto, Mo-, Miss Irene Moon, of Festus, Mo-. and Engineer Glenn.

 Steel coaches of the express splin- tered the wooden coaches of the ac- commodation from the rear, dumping passengers and debris over a quarter of a mile area and tearing up the road-bed, twisting rails into tan gled mass resembling knotted bunch of huge ropes.
 Passengers on the coach which rolled down the embankment into the creek were reported drowned, as they were pinned beneath wreckage.
 A few Boy Scouts who miraculous ly escaped rushed to the aid of the injured and worked frantically to as- sist their less fortuante companions.
