' Carelessness of trainmen caused ' the wreck. Instructed to meet a special train at Wlllard, the engineer and conductor of the Ill-fated passenger, noting that a freight train stood on the sidetrack at Wlllard rushed through thinking that the cars they had seen were tha one they had been instructed to pass. Failure to scrutinize the number of tha angina waa directly responsible for the collision. Had the engineer compared the number ot the train at Wlllard with his orders tha sect-, dent would have been avoided. 1 Upon seeing at Wlllard a freight train on the siding Engineer Benjamin threw open the throttle and under the Impetus of full steam the passenger train leaped out Into the darknesa and crashed along at a rats which the passenger, declare to have beM fully sixty-live mile, an hour. Not a note of warning of fearful Impending danger ever made itself known to the sufferers. General Superintendent G ruber of the. Rock Island made this Statement to tha Associated Press. The engineer of the passenger train had orders to wait at Wlllard for the extra stock train. He passed on, mistaking a freight train on the siding at that station for the extra stock train. This caused the wreck. Nobody else is to blame, so far as our Information goes, . A formal Inquest was held at the wreck today by Coroner Do Hey of Wabaunsee county. The investigation will be continued tomorrow. Until a verdict placing' the blame Is returned no action will ba taken against the trainmen. ilud Many Passengers.

Between Kansas ! t ii ..i..l Topeka the Rock Island use. the i,-;.. k.H of the Union Pacific, and as there are no general offices of either road in this city, details of the disaster were obtained with difficulty. Several reporters who boarded the relief train as it left Topeka early thl. morning were put off the train shortly after It started from that city, and the Brat detail, of the collision came from persons on thd wrecked train after they had returned to Topek.. Occurring as It did. at a .mall station, with few facilities for aid and In the dark ness, there was much delay In extricating tie dead and Injured and tn caring for the latter. The train waa composed of a com bination baggage and mall car. a regular baggage car, a smoker, a tourist sleeper and standard sleeper. The wreck, according to the passenger conductor, was caused by the freight arew running off schedule. The passenger train had the right-of-way, he declared, and the freight tram should have waited for It to pass at Maph-hlll six miles west of the ice.ie of the collision. The wreck occurred at a curve. Derlops si Hero. The hero of the wreck was Doctor Bell t ot New York, City, young physician, kinv A r c: i 4
