Shawano, Wis., Sept. 2 -- Seven men were killed and twenty-five injured, several fatally, when the Northwestern railroad's Chicago and Ashland limited train was wrecked between Bowler and Lyndhurst, nine miles west of Shawano, early Sunday morning.
Hits Washout.
The train was speeding southeast, and ran into a washout between Bowler and Lyndhurst shortly after 2:30 o'clock.
The engine was thrown to one side, the smoker was thrown fifty feet to the right and a Pullman sleeper, occupied by two men was thrown thirty feet to the left, injuring all of those in the car. The baggage car, which was immediately in the rear of the engine, was telescoped, pinning four of those killed under the wreckage. The roof of the baggage car was ripped off and thrown fifty feet.
Three Sleepers Derailed.
The first, second and third sleepers were derailed, but the four coaches following remained on the tracks.
Among the more seriously injured were several members of the Wausau baseball team of the Wisconsin-Illinois league. WILLIAM KERWIN, formerly of the Chicago Cubs pitching staff, probably will never pitch again. His skull was fractured and he was taken to Chicago in a serious condition. GLENN DAVEY, shortstop, likely will lose his arm.
