BOUND TRAIN SAFE
Dr. and Mrs. F. V. Prime and F. B.
Swayze in Wreck But Are
Not Injured at All
At least eight people and perhaps
more were killed shortly before mid
night lust night when Unton Pacific
trains 12 and 17 collided near Ruf
us. Reports of the wreck reached
Hermiston early today.
No 17 is the west hound afternoon
train which goes over th^ cutoff but
which of late has been going through
Hermiston. No 12 is the night train
out of Portland for Spokane. It is
opposed to reach Umatilla n t(‘about
midnight, but was late on this trip
on account of the bad condition of
the road.
Orders'Are Mistaken
Reports reaching here are that the
company was using only one of Its
two tracks between Rufus and The
Dalles and thnt through a mistake
in getting the\ orders the trains mov
ed on the same track when one
should have stayed on the siding at
Rufus.
No definite report of the tfntallties
had reached here when The Herald
went to press. It is reported that at
least eight and perhaps more have
been killed and about 25 (Injured.
The dead and Injured are being dug
out of the wreck and taken to The
Dalles.
Both trains ;are said to have been
derailed by the shock and the track
Is now clear. The trains are re
ported to have been making high
speed at the time of the collision, one
25 miles pee hour and the other 55
miles per hour.
Hermiston People Safe
At leaBt three Hermiston people
were on No. 17.
They are Dr. and

Mr. Swayze telegraphed home this
norning that all were safe and hud
not been hurt, at all. So far as is
known these were the only loenlipeo
ple in the wreck but It Is known that
thsre were some from Pendleton and
other parts of the county. All will
hope that the early report of the fa
talities has been an exaggerated one.
