C. ATTRACTS IP NY NEAR RAYVILLE Blood Found Underneath Car Proved That of Cow.

dpeebi tn The Star. RAYVILI.E, oy irreck yesterday morning of the Illinois passenger train No. West bound, two miles west of Rayville, about twenty yards west of the Boeuf river bridge, created considerable excitement. The overturned locomotive was within a short distance of the Dixie Overland highway, along whirh many automobiles pass every hour, and within a few minutes hundreds of cars were stopped along the road, many of them fiom Rayrilie, and it was with difficulty that the traffic officer, who eoon appeared, handled the crowds that gathered from every direction. The spectacle of a big railway locomotive lying broadside in the mud at the bottom of a dump some ten or twelve feet high, with the smokestack full of mud and the b.g engine a complete wreck, furnished plenty of interest that lasted into the afternoon The tender or tank, was piled in interlocked w.th the eng ne cab in such a way that it is almost unbelievable that a human could come alive after being the cab the time the wreck occurred.

Yet, Engineer Sibley and the colored fireman, Huntley Kelson, escaped with minor injuries, and the porter of Ihe train stated they were both out and clear of the wreck by the time he walked from the middle of the train to the engine The fireman hand and arm was injured and both he and the engineer we-e scalded slightly. The rail was bent in such a way as to make bow extending from the overturned engine to the dump above and several feet in the air, furnishing a menace to those walking over it, in case of breaking under the strain. It was soon noticed and trainmen ordered a joint separated, allowing the huge steel piece to fly into a straight position. Several amusing incidents occurred in connection with the wreck. Spectators found considerable blood and what purported to be brains underneath a car, on the break beam.

A physician was called and pronounced the specimen as not that of a human, but more likely that of an such as a cow. Later it the train had kd I 1 at Tallulah. Another incident the cape of a lady v.ho was dressing at the tirpe, in the sleeper. Feeling the impact rhe rushed out of apartment very scantily clad. She was rescued by the conductor, it is said, and returning to her apartment.

Where the wreck occurred two rail joints had been removed and the spikes removed from two more by the extra gang that was working at the point, in preparation of laying new steel, the new- rails being coupled together and in position on the ground to put down and spike in a few minutes. The approaching train, it was seen, would arrive before the new rail could be filled in the gap, and a flagman was out and two torpedoes placed. Several people in the vicinity, including R. L. Boykin, himself an old-time railroad man, stated they heard the torpedoes sound.

The mail clerk on, the train stated he heard them and others who were at Mr. filling station, near the scene, stat- ed they heard the torpedoes and saw i the flagman waving at the train, It is the track crew, seeing the train approaching so rapidly and knowing a wreck wai imminent, gent an additional flagman out on the trestle to flag the engineer and he was forced to jump off the bridge to prevent being killed. A push car that was on the track over the bridge, was struck and demolished The engineer stated he did not hear the torpedoes or see the flagman, RUSTON KIWAN1ANS.
