3 KILLED, IS
HURT IN WRECK
Speeding Express Crashes
Into DeraiIed Cars Near
Iowa City.
By United Press

By United Press
IOWA CITY, Ia, Oct. 12.-Three
persons we're killed today and thir-
teen others injured, four critically
when west-bound Chicago-to-
Omaha express of the Rock Island
lines crashed into three derailed
cars on the Denver-C Chicago east
bound flier.
The dead are:
Mrs D. J. Roberts, Des Moines.
Madeline Roberts, IL, her daugh-
ter.
Sam Mason, Negro steward, Chi
cago.
Two Pullman coaches and the club
car on the Rock Islands crack east
bound train we're derailed on a
curve, six miles east of here. Be
fore the train crew could avert a
crash, the t-bound train swung
around the curve and struck the de-
rallied coaches. All the dead and
injured were in the two Pullmans
and club car.
1t was the second major rail-
road accident in Iowa within twenty
four hours. Four persons were killed
and sixteen injured yesterday in a
wreck on the Milwaukee road near
Guttenburg.
AS in yesterdays crash, broken
rail was believed responsible for to-
days wreck. The eaStbound Luxury
Filler, one of the fastest trains oper-
ating between Denver and Chicago,
had pulled out of Iowa City and
had just hit its top speed when the
rail broke under the last three
coaches.
The two Pullmans and club car were
thrown onto the other thorough
fare of the two-track line. Know
ing the Omaha train was due
momentarily, members of the east
bound crew tried to run up the track
to post flares at the end of the
curve, but the other train arrived
before this precaution could be
taken.
Pullman passengers were asleep
at the time of the accident, and
panic prevailed for several minutes.
The first report of the wreck did
not reach here until nearly an hour
after the crash. Passengers were
Jared from their berths on both
trains by the impact. and friction
caused by the heavy steel coaches
caused many to believe the cars had
caught fire.

just had his automobile overhauled
and that the mechanic had told
him that the machine would fall
to pieces if driven more than thirty
miles an hour.
