St. Paul, Minn., June 7.—The
Daylight Limited, the Burlington*!
fast train from Chicago to the
Twin Cities, carrying 200 pas
sengers, was saved from
structlon by a tornado last night only
by being a half hour late.

not discovered until after the regular
time for the train had passed. Jchn
MKier, a farmer, discovered that the
bridge was gone, and succeeded
stopping the train with the engine Just
10 feet from the break In the spnn
over Hi" creek, which w«h swollen l»>
the heavy rain.
Th® tornado swept over portions of
Lacrosse, Monroe and Vernon counties,
Wisconsin, nnd Houston county, Min
nesota, wrecking dozens of farm
houses and barns, killing one person
and Injuring probably a score. The
greatest damage was In Coon volley,
not far from where the train was
saved. It was when the brick house
of Carl Scheck was wrecked In this
district that tho fatality and a number
of Injuries occurred. Leon and Part-
land have been cut off by the storm,
nnd It Is expected casualties may have
occurred there. Much damage was
done In the villages or Coon Valley,
Chesebrough, Mormon Coule and

The storm seems to have formed near
Llndstrom and swept In a northeast
erly direction, cutting a path about 600
yards wide for a distance of 16 miles.

deserted the business thoroughfares
nnd hurried to the scene, relatives snd
frlenda of many of these people having
attended the big Junior Order picnic.
It was the space of only a abort time
until the wrecked trains were sur
rounded by hundreds of men, women
and children, eagerly seeking Informa
tion as to the extent of the accident.
Outgoing trolley cars, running near
the scene, were crowded with people,
numbers went out In automobiles,
while other crowds ran and walked.
Many 8av*d Miraculously.
The wreck Itself was remarkable
from the fact that th* toes of life was
no greatar than It waa. The big Cen
tral railway paasenger engine, one of
the largest running Into Atlanta, al
most completely telescoped the rear
car of the picnic train, splitting It open
and epllnterlng-lt oa though It might
have been a cracker box.
So strongly was the big locomotive
wedged Into the car that the combined
power of two switch engine* was re
quired to extricate It. Although the
car waa tom to pieces, the engine es
caped with slight damage. The front
end was smashed, but th* smokestack
and headlight were not even knocked
off.
Had It not been for a warning cry
from a railroad man the result would
no doubt have been more terrible and
deadly. Realising that a collision was
Inevitable, the railroad man, who was
on the Fair street crossing, cried out
to th* paasenger# In th* rear car to
ump for their live*. Instantly heed-
ng this warning, numbers of the pic
nickers leaped from th# platform to
the ground and other* rushed pell mell
Into the front end of th# car.
Had te Cut Body Out.
Young' Oscar Cook, however, failed
to get out of the way of danger and
waa mashed to death between the
ponderous engine boiler and the side
of th# car. It was necessary for the
city firemen to cut an opening In the
aide of the car In order to get out his
lifeless body.
Howard Oliver was In th# rear car
and was rescued from a perilous post-
lion. He was caught and pinned down,
his legs resting underneath the engine.
Mott of the Injured passengers were
nerves. He lmd been there 1ml n few
minutes when he was struck and In
Jured.
Tho row started whan the negro de
manded a drink at the fount. He was
refused, and Impudently reclared he
was as good as any white man. Ofil-
cer Haslett was near by, and ejected
the negro. AH he did so, the letter
opened hie knife and tried to cut the
officer. He waa promptly knocked
down, and th* knife taken from him.
A few minutes later n* returned nnd
began to hurl bricks and roclu Into
the fount, demolishing a big mirror
and damaging an electric fan; also
striking Wooten. Haslet nnd Mitchell
then opened fir* nn the asenltant, and
he ran, with Haslett In pursuit.
In the chase, Haslett dropped his
pistol and th* fugitive negro turned

by being knocked violently acron*
and agaJnat the »Wt» of ihc cur.
Luella Lancaster, one of the worst
hurt, waa Injured In thla way.
The concuMMlon of the collision was
so great that the picnic engine, four
teen car lengths away, was discon
nected from the train and shoved off
seversl feet. Practically nil of the pas*
sengers were given a good Jolting, even
those In the far end of the train.
8tewart Ward Talks.
Steward Ward, of Battle Hill, one
of the Injured taken to the Grady hoe-*
pita I* In speaking of the accident, said:
”1 was seated In the cqr next to a
window and when the picnic train
came to a stop I looked out. I saw the
reflection from the headlight, as the
Central train came up from the rear,
but thought It was on the adjoining
track. Fearing It might strike me, I
pulled mV head In through the window.
In another Instant there was a crash
and a terrific Jolt and t knew there had
been a collision. I waa thrown out of
my seat and . my arm caught between
the seat and the car window ”
Numerous harrowing stories are re
lated by the injured to
their experiences. One young man, who
was In the rear coach, was struck by n
stove and knocked almost out of the
car.
Many Ambulances Came.
As quickly as possible after the col
lision, nearby telephones were brought
Into service, the hospital being ■ noti
fied, private ambulances and cabs be
ing summoned, and the police and fire
departments called. Numbers of the
Injured were sent to their homes In
cabs, while the more seriously hurt
were taken away in ambulance®. Ow
ing to the fact that the accident oc
curred In' the city and owing to the
quick work of reecue. It was only a
brief space of time until the'tnjured
were all being giver* attention.
