TRAINS CRASH wi TOGETHER Cars Are -End Collin ccked in a Hea on the B, & M. mboldt, HUMBOLDT, Neb., Aug. 15.—(Special Telegram.)—Freight trains 63 and 66 met in a head-end collision in the yards here at 2:45 this morning. Train 66, in charge of Conductor Richey and Engineer O'Don- nell, was ordered to meet No, 13 west- bound passenger and No, 63 westhound hols and gineer Gray, Train 66 was too long for the siding and when it pulled out onto the main line to let No 13 pass the rear end of the switch, No. 63 came round the curye at full speed and crashed into it. Both en gines, 0s. 130 and 143, the latter a big siz-driver, were badly demolished, but the crew saved themselves by jumping after the engines were reversed. One car of mer- chandise for Billings, Mont., and one car of beer carried by No. 63 were the worst damaged, the lottor leaving the track One car of ties and one empty were also badly shattered. The wrecking crew is now at work and the track will be cleared in time for after- noon passengers. The responsibility for the catastrophe is hard to place, no one being particularly to blame. The yards are undergoing a transformation and all tracks are in poor shape, which added to the dif- fieulty of getting by freight in charge of Conductor N " HYMENEAL.
