The wreck occurred at about 8 40

leaped from the troop train rushed
to help the injured. Bodies were
pulled from the wreckage and taken
to the town hall, which became a

"a Killed, 11S Injured
AS Troop Train Hits
Canadian Local
Most Of Dead in Three
Rear Wooden Cars
Stondine in Stotion
BY the Associated Press.

/ DS tut ASsOClalcQ FTeSS.
ALMONTE, Ontario, Dec. 28.-
Thirty-four holiday passengers
were killed and 118 injured,
many critically, when the loco
motive Of a Canadian Pacific
troop train plowed through the
three rear wooden cars of a local
train standing in the station
here last night, officials of the
railway said today.
A corrected casualty list was
released by the railway after
earlier reports had listed a total
of 232 casualties, including 80
dead.
Virtually all the dead and in
jured were in the three coaches
which were taking aboard men,
women and children at Almonte on
the run from Pembroke, Ontario
to Ottawa.
The troop train was only slightly
damaged. 1t was moving from the
Petawawa military camp.
Throughout the night, in the
Pickering light of bonfire built
from the wreckage of the smashed
cars. rescue workers sought to re-
lease trapped passengers and re-
move the dead.
At Least Six Soldiers Killed.
Scattered in the deep snow were
reminders of the recent holiday
festivities, torn bundles in the bril-
liant color of Christmas wrappings
Although civilians made up the
bulk of the casualties, at least six
soldiers were among the dead
Among the bodies identified was
that of 1t. Douglas Markham OF
Vancouver.
1t was believed that they were
passengers on the Pembroke -Ot-
tawa train which was standing in
the Almonte station when the troop
train crashed into it.
1t was the worst train wreck in
Canada since 1910 when 43 persons
were killed in the derailment of a
train at Spanish River Bridge
Webbwood, Ontario.
The collision occurred at grade
crossing, beside the intersection OF
Mills and Bridge streets, the latter
Almontes main thoroughfare. So
great was the impact of the two
trains that two stable trees by the
right of way were sheared of by the
telescoping coaches.

Except for the three cars tele-
scoped in the wreck, damage to the
Pembroke Ottawa train was slight
and the forward coaches were able
