COLLISION IN THE
BURLINGTON YARDS
No. C was thirty-five minutes
late this morning and No. 29 left

difficulty .was ... when the. Hock
Bluffs special, lo'itded'widi stoves,
railroad iron and oilier freight
fr the storehouse;-was bumped
into by a full-sized freight car
which had beep kicked in" .on the
trnok behind' the 'special.'' There
is a slight grade from the station
toward the shop yards and the
special was proceeding cautiously
with a couple or three pushers be
hind, when the freight ear Was
seen bearing down upon them.
The brakeinan was doing his best
to get it stopped, but the brake
appeared not to work and on' up
the grade came the car. Th
crew of the special abandoned
(heir train and stood aside when
the shock came. . Kverything
movable on the special was deftly
piled to one side of the track, but
the amount of damage would
probably not exceed 200 cents.
