BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE 46 LIVES LOST AND S7SERIOUSLY | INJURED WHEN L, ~PLUNGES INTO TAIL END OF LOCAL Express:Fram Cincinnati Coliides with Springfi eid Train at ' Shepherdsville, Ky. CAUSE OF ACCIDENT NOT YET LOCATED ! ion i Leaving Accommodation Just Wrecked to Kindling—Fast Train Little Injured. The death toll taken last night when ‘L, & N. passenger train No. 7, from Cincinnati to New Orleans erashed into the rear end of Louisville, Bards- town and Springfield accommodation train a few hundred feet south of the railroad station here had reached 46 today, The number killed was at first placed at 38. Additional deaths from among those badly injured, increased to total. The wreck, which is sald to he the worst in the -history of the Louis- ville & hville, occurred just after the local train had pulled out from the station here. It had gone only a short distance when the other train of steel cars came Into sight, travel-, ing at a high rate of speed. Before it could be halted, it had crashed into the slower moving train ahead, and made kindling wood of the two wooden passenger coaches it carried, The fast train was able to proceed when a second locomotive had been secured and the wreckage cleared. Blame for the disaster seems to hinge on whether the’ fast train had heen given a clear block or not. Shepherdville, Ky., Dee.

Thirty- five of the injured were placed aboard the relief train and rushed to Louisville. Three or four oth- ers were taken to private homes in Shepherdville, superintendent Sheridan said, but he had been un- able to learn the exaet number. ‘EXPRESS PASSENGERS SAFE) None of the passengers aboard ‘the fast train care killed ‘and ‘none of them received more than minor injuries. Jesse Weatherford, telegraph] operator at the station, said that! after the accommodation — train} left the station he had set his! block to show the track clear and| left the office to handle bageage.| When he got outside, he said, he saw the fast train approaching, tran back to the office, threw the block to show red, seized a lan- tern and rushed to the platform to flag it just as the locomotive ithundered by.
