Deaths and injurkee were confined to members of the work train, which was replacing the ballast of the track between Larussell and Stotts City. Members of the train crews were Dot Injured.
The work train, manned by an .z. tra crew of 32 men. left Carthage ye- terday morning with chat to be plac- ed along the track between Larumett and Stotts City.

NEAR SHARP CURVE
-
It had practically completed un- loading the chat when the first soc- tion of train 294, known as the "Red Ball." rounded a sharp curve and ; crashed Into the rear of the work train.
Three cars of the work train, each of which contained section bands, plunged into Spring river. throwing the workers. dazed and injured Into the water.
.. A survivor rusbed to a farmhouse Dearby and telephoned for ambu- lances and doctors from Aurora, Car- there and Monett and . volunteer crewr.of.residents and trainmen st. to work to digging the killed and injur- ed tram the debris. .
Wreckers were dispatched to the cosce from Aurora and Carthage and oddictais expected to have the track clear by midnight. Passenger trains were routed over the Frisco, through Mooett, Aurora and Betingetleid.
you ' tratn, Bupertotecidops Debleks til, because it was optrating under orders to protect the Red Ball by woding out a flagman.
Members of the work train Crew siplatned that a flagman had been stationed rome distance up the track during the morning, but shortly be- foro poon the train backed up and picked him up shortly before the col- Uision. At that time a small amount of chat remained in och of the cars
and it was decided to back up a short distance and unload the balance be- fore returning to Larussell for dinner. and also to give the Red Ball passage. i The train was moving slowly back- ward when the freight train rounded a sharp curve. Engineer L. O. Darrell and Fireman H. Hills of the work train," as well 's workers, quickly spied the approaching freight. Darrell quickly applied the brakes and was attempting to reverse his motion When the crash came.
Fireman Ellis jumped Into a steep bank as the collision came.
Engineer E. W. Proctor of the freight train, which was said to have been traveling about 25 miles an hour, applied the air, but on account of the slippery rails and the short distance between the trains, was un- able to avert the crash. Fireman R. L. Brown and Brakeman Joe Smith. both of whom were in the cab, also Jumped and escaped with minor scratches and bruises. .
The car in which three of those killed were riding was leading the work train and received the full effect of the crash. It was demolished. The bodies of the dead workers were badly mangled.
CARS TELESCOPE -
Two other light cars, of the open type, directly behind the locomotive of the work train, telescoped and Campbell, one of the workers, was Instantly killed when he fell beneath the wheels of a car.
The approach of the freight came so suddenly and unexpectedly that fewer than half of the work train crew had a chance to jump.
J. L. Creviston, one of the Injured and brother of Howard Creviston, one of the dead, was hurled high into the air, falling into Spring river. He swam to safety despite his broken leg. Another member of the crew was buried beneath a pile of chat. but was rescued and seemed to be none the worse for the experience.
Members of the freight train crew recalled that the locomotive pulling their train. No. 1206, figured in a wreck exactly two years ago to the day, In which an engineer and fire- man were killed. The accident was between Milo and Nevada.
1 ALL WERE UNMARRIED
All of those killed were young men. under the age of 25, and unmarried. The work crew had been employed Monday for several weeks of work in repairing the track's ballast between Carthage and Aurora.

Members of the crew. tired and nervous from the strain, worked un- tiringly last night to ald wrecker crewa to clear the track and lift the heavy car from the body of a com- panion, Howard Oreviston, bured in the shallow water of the river.
MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
Es- death was probably the most Mupero top.triok." Follow- f the fearful habe and din of the crash,' his screams fot ald brought Companiona, but they were unable to get to him on account of the wreck- age. He was beneath a car. It slow- ly slipped down the bank into the
river, taking him with it. When it came to rest his head and body were submerged, while his feet were still discernable from the shore.
But the peculiar situation Into which the car finally settled made it Impossible for rescuers to save him. At a late hour last night, the wrecked car was being removed by a wrecker. He was identified by blue socks he wore, which companions had Joshed him about only a few minutes before. The scene was given & grewsome aspect, especially when darkness be- gan to arise, by scores of dead hoga strewn along the right-of-way. Those not killed, frightened by the affair. scurried up the bank and fled into the woods above the curve.
Although neither locomotive was derailed, both were considerably damaged. The tender of the work train locomotive was knocked from its trucks, while the - pilot and the truck wheels of the other locomotive were demolished.
