VANCOUVER. B. C, Nov. 10.
Fourteen or fifteen persona were kilt
ed tn an accident that occurred at
6:30 this morning on the New West
minister line of the British Columbia
.Electric railway.. A heavy car loaded
with timber broke from the train
which was ahead of the 6:10 inter
urban car from Vancouver, on an in
cline between Lakeview and Co lings-
wood station. The runaway came
with terrific momentum, and striking
the passenger car, swept everything
clean level with the seats There were
twenty-five persons in the car and not
on of them had a real chance to es
cape. Motorman Thorburn yelled a
warning to the passengers as he saw
the car, and tried to jump for safety,
but he was caught by the runaway
and crushed to death.
The following are he identified
dead: T. Bowes, Grantsview; R. H.
Lpons; T. F. Farmer; J. F. Stevens;
T.-E. Holland: Wm. Johnson, con
ductor; J. H. Growther; Geo. Thom
as, Motornian; S. M. Mitchell; A. S.
Wilkinson; Harry Dayton; Thomas
Tuttle and T. P. J upon, injured.
There was one man who has not been
identified. Some of the bodies are
unrecognizable. All the killed are
men.
A broken coupling on the freight
car caused the accident. The train
had left the lumber car on main line
and had gone on a siding to get an
empty car. When it returned it
shunted the car into a standing car
that was coupled, but the momentum
broke the coupling.
D. M. poOoug-h. motornian of the
freight, Fred Wit&gins, conductor,
and W. Bowes, brakeman, are' de
tained by the police.
