Engineers' Mistake the Cause
Omaha, July 11 - A head end collision that resulted in much loss of life occurred on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad between Logan and Missouri Valley at 6:30 tonight. The best estimates indicate twenty-seven dead and fifty-one injured, many of whom will die. The wreck occurred as a result of Engineer Montgomery, of the excursion train, mistaking orders. He was ordered to wait at Logan until the fast mail and the eastbound passenger train had passed. He waited for the passenger and then started out, having forgotten about the mail. The trains were going fifty miles per hour when they meet three miles west of Logan. Engineer Montgomery jumped and escaped with a broken arm. the officials of the road are very reticent, and information can only be obtained by courier and telephone. The two engines crashed together and in an instant freight and passenger coaches were piled upon the top of one another. Word was at once sent to this city, and in a short time a special train, with doctors and officers of the road on board, was sent out from Council Bluffs.
Late information received at 1 o'clock (Sunday morning) was to the effect that the dead and injured were piled along the tracks in the switching yards at Logan like cordwood. There were a few doctors on the ground, but not enough to give attention to one-third of the sufferers. Among the dead and dying many were hunting for their friends and relatives.
In this city the office of the road was beseiged [sic] by people in search of information, but none was given out.
The excitement throughout the city is tremendous, as thousands of people who knew their relatives and friends were on the train became aware of the wreck. A great crowd of frantic people has surrounded the depot and all avenues of information and are trying to get news of their friends and relatives. There is little probability of anything like a connected story before the train sent out to bring in the victims returns to Omaha, which will be a 6 o'clock in the morning.
