A Grave Instead of a Home

An overloaded train speeding to the public government drawing of land in Idaho, July 31, met another train near Caldwell in a head-on collision, killing thirteen people and injuring a hundred more. The cars were a mass of kindling-wood, and the scenes at the wreck were indescribable. Many of the injured will die. The trains were electric, each of them running about fifteen miles an hour. Many found a grave instead of a home.
