Caused by the Spreading of the Rails —Twenty-nine Persons Hurt. Passenger train No. 302, north bound and due in this city a 3:15 p. m. met with a bad accident about five miles this side of Nevada, Sat- urday evening last. The train con- sisted of a baggage, express and mail car and three passenger coaches. At the time of the accident the train was lunning at the rate of about thirty miles an hour and was turn- ing a sharp curve down grade when the rails spread and the three coaches well filled with passengers, were thrown from the track and over- turned and twenty-nine passengers were badly hurt, some seriously. | Among the list from Butler who received injuries were Miss Min- nie McFarland, A. B.° Walker and J. D. Burner. The two latter were only slightly hurt, but Miss Minnie was more unfortunate and is now confined to her bed in the Rockwood hotel at Nevada, were she will remain until she is able to be brought home. She is internally in- jured in the chest and a severe gash cut in the calf of one of her legs. Her case was considered quite criti- cal at first, but later reports say she is getting along tolerably well ‘and hopes are entertained that she| | willsoon be ableto return home. Her brother, N. B.
