St. Louis and San Francisco traln'
known as “Texas Limiter!" crashed
throguh a bridge near Lebanon, Mo,
early today. Telegraphic and tele3'
phone lines between here and the
scene of the wreck were prostrated by
a severe storm and details are lack-
ing.
According to 'meagre information

The train left St. Louis last night at
8:30 for Galveston, Tex, and carried
1 three Pullman sleepers. two coaches.
baggage and smoker and diner. All
the equipment was of steel.
Four cars and the locomotive were
overturned into the gully, swollen to a
temporary lake, which runs bulde the
track. The chair car and the smoker
were submerged. At 9:30 this morn-
ing. seven bodies had been taken from
the chair car, but it is thought that
. every person in the two cars was
drowned. This estimate was based to.
statements of tralnmen as to the num-
ber of passengers in the twocars. ‘
Lebanon reported by telephone that
the locomotive plunged oi! the track.
into the gully, dragging along .a mail
car, a baggage car. the’ smoker and a
chair car. Four sleeping cars did not
leave the track. Most of those caught
in the wreck were in the chair car. .
‘The train was passing over a- trestle
- when it1le'i’t the track. The. bridge
1 was intact, but a few yards beyond the
’ bridge the track-had been washed ‘ '
away by waters from the gully.

are equally well known throughout
the "county. and that their qualifica-
