Tuscania and brought to New York. Of Investigating Committee Agrees with Coroner's Jurv as to Cause of Fatal Collision. INJURED ARE MUCH IMPROVED | Investigation of the causes that brought about the werck on the Mis- souri Pacific, near Oreapolis, Friday morning, resulting in the death of Mike Sherlock, engineer; W. R. Goodwin, fireman, and J. B, Wilson, brakeman, and the Injury of ten pas- sengers and members of the crew of No. 104, the passenger train, was commenced and concluded Saturday morning. A Cass county jury, summoned by Coroner Brendel, Friday night re- turned a verdict that the wreck was caused and the three men killed as result of the members of the crew of train No. 104 leaving La Platte station in disregar? of orders. The investigating committee that met yestorday came to the same concluslon as did the ocoroners jury. General Su- perinendent D'Bernardl, Kansas COlty; Superintendent Russ of the Nebraska di- vision, Fully City; Dr. Faul F. Vaster- ling, chlef surgeon, and A. H. Mansfield, chief claim agent, St. Louis, and F. L. Holt, master mechanie, Falls City, came in on a special.

During the investigation it developed that all the members of the crew of No. 104 had orders notifying them that at La- Platte they would pass No. 153, pulled by Emngine No. 1214 The orders made no mention of Freight No. 16, drawn by engine No. 1273, which was running as an extra and wes lald in on the siding at LaPlatte. Conductor Jeff.Hulse of No. 104, in the employ of the Missourl Pacifio for thirty yoars, asserted that as he passeq LaPlatte he saw No. 165 on the siding and noticed that its engine was No. 1373, while the train that he was to meet was pulled by engine No. 1274. He thought that this dis- crepancy in engine numbers was brought about by a mistake in the trensmission of the orders and presumed that the dead engineer and fireman made the same mis- take. Brakeman Hatfielq on the rear end of No. 104, had orders similar to those of the other trainmen and his opinion was that the train they passed at LaPlatte was No. 163. He also thought the dis. patcher had made a mistake in trans- mitting the engine numbers. Blames Passenger Orew As a result of the investigatiom, the committes placed the entire blame for the wreck upon the men operating No. 104, Bolding them equally responsible. Of thesé men, two, the engineer and fire- man, are dead and the others probably will be discharged from the service of he gompany. THe track at the wreok was cleared at 10 6'8ock Friday night and trains are again passing over it. Of the injured W, 8. West and James McClurg, postal clerks, and E. L.
