Wetzel was the most seriously hurt
and scalded and suffered great pain.
He was conveyed to the hospital in
Streator. Engineer Aiantle was also
scalded and bruised, but his injuries
are small compared with those of Wetzel. The 318 was partially capsized
and ran some distance from the track.
The 29 was also badly damaged anu
the property loss will aggregate a considerable sum. The cars derailed wore
loaded with grain. The wrecker was
ordered to the scene at once in charge
of Pancake and Cline with engine 62.
The track was blocked until after 6
o'clock Wednesday evening and the
wrecking crew had a busy day of it_
All trains for the day were detoured
over the C. 1. & S. between Dwight
and Streator and as this was a short
detour not much delay was ensued.
