Train wreck at Ashkum after switch left open
A passenger train on the Illinois Central derailed south of Kiukake when an open switch at Ashkum caused the engine and baggage car to leave the track. Engineer John Smith and the fireman were injured, the latter severely scalded, while the engineer sustained head injuries. A theory of wrecking is supported by a white light at the switch, with a prior attempted wreck reported two weeks earlier. Police report customs irregularities involving Cashier Acosta amid island control. Nearby, homes were attacked with effigies of officials in Shamokin on June 7.
