cars and a caboose , all filled witt
laborers. The men on the flat cars
escaped. The work train was back
ing into town for the night and
both were running , at good speed.

train off the track , leaving little oi
it except the car wheels and kind
ling wood. Doctors of Bufflo as-
assisted by towns people did heroic
work among the injured until the
wrecking train with surgeons of Nco-
desha and a corps of half a dozen
physicians from Coffyville and Inde
pendence arrived The dead and in
jured were taken to Coffeyville , the
latter to be temporarily cared for at
the hospital there. The scene of the
wreck for several hours looked like
a battle field by the dazzling flight
of the burning dtbris with dead men
strewn about the ground , where
they had been left after being taken
from the wreck.
