The head-on collision of two Southern Pacific freight trains Thursday between Oswego and Goodln station, resulting in the death of 'Engineer Wlllard Knight and severe injur" to , Engineer .' Walter Davis, was caused by the crew of train 2S1 failing; to read an order before leav ing Oswego, according to findings of the board of inquiry, i '' . -It is tha opinion. of this -board that Conductor Gl Vs. Frederlekson,, Engineer Walter Davis and Fireman R. pakes of train 231 are responsible for the Acci dent on account of their, failure to ob serve order .ferm Sl , No. 22 which required then to wait at Oswego' for train 234. and that .Brakemen W. G. Bell, E. - A. Gulp and M - F. Thompson of the same train were negligent in not asking Conductor Frederlekson for the orders," reads a, section of the board's report. "The trainmen could not see the oppos ing engines until they were about 800 feet apart, and It is estimated that both trains were moving at approximately 20 miles an hour. "Statements disclose that. Engineer Knight on train 234 applied airbrakes in emergency and reversed his engine. In vestigation has failed to determine action of Engineer Davis, but as he was riding on the hlch side of the curve it is prob able that he had not applied brakes any appreciable time before the collision oc curred." The report declares that Engineer Knight was killed instantly, being crushed against the boiler head by the tank of his engine. . "As existing- rules govern proper pro cedure," said the board, it made no recommendations The board of inquiry was composed of F. L. Burckhalter, superintendent; F. E. Cavender, master repairer; H.
