Job

Twelve miles out of St. Louis last week the westbound "Texas Special" of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad, clicking along at 40 m. p. h., plunged into a rock pile on the tracks. Its locomotive and baggage car were demolished; the next two cars flopped over; rails and ties went flying; passengers were tossed, crushed, trapped, battered. Killed: 6; injured: 30.

The company reported that the rockpile was a high one, buttressed with timbers, "very clearly a train-wrecking job."
