yesterday morning. The cause of"
the trouble is said to be a "split

the smash-up were hard to secure
on accouat of the usual reticence
of the railroad people. One of
the first things they areaught, it;

at 11:05. Two mail cars were de

of junk. Superintendent Lake

leave until the wreck wae cleared.
The part of the train that was not

where Engineer Rouzie got
