A truck load of mail for Alton had been unloaded from the train due here at 12:40 from St.

Louis, but running 13 minutes behind time.

The box cleared the rails and got in the center of the track. It was too big, however, to be spanned by the coaches which knocked it back again on the train rails. As the car wheels clipped open the big box, several smaller boxes dropped out.

Roasting pans and many other articles of aluminum- ware were being crushed on the rails as the wheels rolled over them. Some of the smaller boxes were undamaged.
