Louis & Sou Francis n train No. f-,
westbound, known nrt the "Texnn
Limited," diingeit into a dmtdhiirst
near Ichminn,Mu., 182 miles south
west of here, early todny, and before
the engineer could slop tho train tho
track gave way and the engine mid
four enrs rolled into a gully kwoIIcii
by the flood.
Tbirly-five. lo forty-five persons in
two passenger coaches were drowned
and probably a tu-oro injured. The
four sleeping ears remained on tho
track nnd the passengers in those
coaches rushed forward to rescue
those imprisoned in the ears sub
mejiccd in twelve feet of water. Ily
1101m twenty-.six hodie.shnd been re
covered. , l'crlsh R ('Hi- Car
The engineer, describing' his cxperi
encfx, said the train was miming
t-lowly when the eloiidbtirst occurred.
A wall of water swept across the
track and appeared to be' rushing to
wanl tho train. The engineer closed
the throttle, hut jnsf" then" the em
bankment beneath gave way.
Most of the dead were drowned In
the chair car and many of these wero
women and children. Those who
woro nblo to escape from their wat
ery prison fought their way out by
breaking windows nnd swlihmlng to
shore.
Owing to poor communication with
tho sceno ot the wreck It Is Impos
sible to give a definlto estimate ot
how many escaped. None ot tho
sleeping cars left the track and thp
passengers in theso quickly formed
themselves into rescue parties.
Die Under Water
Ono man in the chair car lost his
wlfo and five children. When the
accldeut occurrod ho -was thrown
clear ot the descending chair car nnd
swam to shore. In tho submerged
car his wlfo and children met their
death, whllo he stood nearby unabl)
to save them. "v
Heavy rains last week caused
streams to rise.
Tho train was late because ot tho
flooded conditions. As it passed Le

here, its speed was Increased to mako
up lost time.
Tho dead nro bclns placed in
