News of the wreck secured by local Union Pacific officials is somewhat meager and. other than Engineer 1 lagan, it is not known whether anyone was killed or injured Ha gan is thought to be a resident of Rawlins The double wroek was caused by the breaking of a side roil n tin freight engine, which dropped under the wheels and derailed it As thw locomotive toppled, several of tie cars went over with it, falling across the double track. The freight train was eastbonnd and the derailment occurred just as No lf. westbound, was about to pass. Before Be-fore the passenger could be flagged it crashed into the wreckage head on.
