Eight Tramps Killed in Wreck at Winanet Illinois
A Chicago, Burlington and Quincy wreck near Winanet Illinois at 10 30 this morning killed eight tramp riders and injured four others. An arch bar or broken bar may have caused the derailment as eighteen cars carrying perishable fruit were thrown from the tracks. The middle refrigerator car section plunged over the right of way while the engine remained upright. The scene drew many laborers from nearby division points to repair tracks and render aid as one tank car of molasses burst, flooding the rails. The dead were taken to the depot freight room awaiting coroner action.
