Fatal Railroad Accident in Texas

FIFTEEN persons lost their lives and more than twenty were injured in a railroad accident near Maxon Station, Texas, on March 7. The train, which was running at a high rate of speed to make up lost time, left the track on a sharp curve. The cars, which were smashed and piled upon one another, took fire almost immediately, and many of those imprisoned in the wreckage were burned to death.
