One of the most hocldt1g
affairs that this vicinity has
witnesse occurred jUt ! west of
the city corporation this m01'lling :
about 5:40 : o'clock 1)\ . the collision :
of freig1 t trains N . 's 4(1 and 48.
A a result of the co11osion four
H\'cs were hearlded into etcrnitv
without a moment ! ; warning. it
appears that the crew of 48 ,
was running a au extra had
pulle(1 ( into the yards from the
west but a sltOrt time before the
schelnlel ( ( time of 4h , which WtS
also coming from the west. 'rhe
crew of 4R was compelled to bring
its train in two sections from
Merna 011 account of its length
and heft , there being ' 7 cars. II
waR making the trip back to
Merna to bring up the secon
section that bronght the trains
< ; 0 dose togethcr. ' [ 'he conductor -
tor on 4S , on reaching the depot
received notice of the near approach -
preach of 46 and at once started
to get his train on the side track
by hackiug" to the upper switch.
Hc had succeeled in getting back
to the ! > witch and had entered on
the side track when 4 ( " under
fu11 speed ran into the wa ) ' car.
The car was reduced to kindling ,
the locomotive completely demolished -
molished and landed on a bank
to the north with the engincer
under it. 'rwelve or fourteen
carR loaded with lumber , coal
and such merchandise werc bad Iv
wrecked. 'l'he engineer wag held
111 his position for five hour before -
fore death relieved him of his
torture. His body had all heen
freed except o e hand , when
death came , which was afterward
amputated in order to release his
body which was found to be
terribly mangled , Supt. Calvert ,
who wm ; on 41 , came np from
Ravenna with the wrecking lorew
and gave his personal aHe-utioll
to earring for the dead aul having -
ing the wreckage cleared. Supt.
Phelan of Alliance , al'ri\'l (1 later
from the west with a wreckil1
crew aul leut his aHsislanl'l : .
No. 41 was detained at Ra\'ertlHl
until evening , when it received
orders to mo\'e on to this city
and transfer its passengers an < l
baggage around the wreck to 42
which was held at Merna.
Dr. J. H. Morrow of Merna ,
impanneled a jury and took the
bodies in charge to holtl an iu-
quest. As we go to press this
Li"riday morning the work of the
Il1\'estigation has not been com-
pleted. 'l'he personel of the
jury asures ! a thorough and impartial -
partial il1\'estigation. 'l'heyare :
L. H. Jewett , Jas. Whitehead.
Jt1 < l Kay , J. J. Wi1son , W. W.
Cowles , Geo. Willing.
'rhe dead are . : 'Thos. Kelley ,
engineer ; .T. Ii" gaton , liremanj
John Akers , breakman ; and a
passenger by the name of Whit-
tenberger or Lorwill , Ind.
It i e\ ' dent the engineer failed -
ed to see 48 , as he had not reversed -
versed his engine or thrown on
the breaks. His conductor , W.
J. Buffing , thinks the steam from
his engine must have prevented
him seeing ahead. Just where
the blame will he found is still
with the jury.

Apparently the republican

coyotes with his hounds to
organize a Rooseveit c1ub , or to
pay any attention to politics.

farm as soon as a huyer tan hr

Ahount an inch of snow fell at
