Five bodies yet remain burled under the huge pile of broken timber, twisted and distoited Iron and steel. Cn a bank at the side of the track lie the bodies of the victims, cut. bruised and mangled in a horrible manner. So far twelve only hare been Identified, the remaining being unrec ognizable, even by those who knew them end are aware of the fact that they aie among the dead. The victims are residents of neighboring towns. All the dead and most of the Injure! were members of the work train, the crews on both engines jumping in time to save their lives. The collision oc curred in a deep cut at the beginning of a sharp curve, neither train being visible to crew of the other until they were within fifty feet of each other. The engineers set the brakes, sounded the whistles and then leaped from their cabs, the two trains striking with such force that the sound -was heard for miles. A second after' the collision the boiler of the work train engine ex ploded, throwing iron bars and splin- tfira nt wood 200 feet.- 1 Conductor John Judge, of Indianapo lis, who had cnarge or tne ireignt train received orders at Urbaha to wait at Mackinaw for the work train which was due there at 2:40 p. m. Instead of doing this ho failed to stop. The en gineer of the work train, George Becker, had also received orders to pass the freight at Mackinaw and was on the way to that station. Work train was perhaps five minutes late and was running afull speed. ' One of the last bodies recovered was tli at of William Bailey of Mackinaw, who had been lifted thirty feet Into the air and held in place by the steel rails which had. been pushed up be tween the entdne and the tender of the work train. The dead will lie oa the bank all alght or until the arrival of the coroner of Tazewell t-eunty In the morning. Out of thirty-five men who constituted the crew of the work train onlv four are living and two of thfat are ierleuely Injured. MORE POSTAL 8CANDA1.8.
