light and applied the air brake. To
his horror it refused to work. He re-
versed his engine but the momentum
of the heavy train behind was too
great and with a I rash that amused all
of the town near the yards, the two
tralhs met. Three cars of the sta—
tionary tlrst scctlon were telescoped
and the engine and seven cars were de
nrolished.
The rear car of the first section was

with sleeping circus employee. The
greatest loss of life was In the. ca-
