A Rear-end Collision.
Yesterday, Just as the pupils and em- .
ployfs were pieparing for dinner, a fearful
crash was heard by all. ' The local south
bound freight train was standing on the'
track, unloading freight for the school, and
was about to start when a heavily load
ed gravel train came rushing down the
grade and struck the caboose of the local
train and completely telescoped it. The grav
el train wag running at the rate of about 15
in ilea an hour when it struck the local.
The engine was badly disfigured 'and the
caboose rent to slivers. No one was hurt
as the trainmen jumped off the car. It
was caused by the airbrakes refusing to
work. It was an interesting sight to the
pupils and employes and Prof. Wilson,
our photographer, received three good snap ,
shots of the wreck.
