A special train of eleven coaches left Ionia with between 800 and 1,000 of the employes of the Pcre Marquette for the annual excursion to Detroit, and about half-way between here and Plymouth the special train had a head-on collision with a westâ€"bound freight train. The passenger train had been given the right-of-way, but because of some blunder on the part of the crew of the freight train it kept on instead of wait- ing at Plymouth, which is the despatch- ing headquarters for this division, to let the passenger pass. The passenger train was just rounding the curve at Washbournc Crossing, when it sighted the freight train. Both engineers apparently saw their danger at the same moment, shut- off steam and applied the brakes. With the passen- ger train travelling at 45 miles an hour tie crash was terrific.

The fear that the pile of wreckage, in] which many persons both dead an alive were buried might catch fire, nervcd the survivors to the work of rescue, a work in which they were as- sisted by the farmers in the vicinity. With their bare hands or with impro- vised tools they set to work to raise th heavy timbers, under which human be- ings were lying, and one after anothe was released until when the wreckin train arrived nearly 20 bodice: had been extricated, besides several woundc people.
