Hagenback-Wallace circus, were killed early today when Michigan Central train of empty Pullmans, running sixty miles an hour, crashed into a special train of sleeping cars of the show at Ivan- hoe, six miles east of Gary, Ind. It is believed the entire personnel of the circus was wiped out in the smashup. Four wooden coaches in which the circus performers were sleeping were demolished and the victims caught in the wreckage are believed to have been burned to death as it caught fire and burned for hours. Killed as They Slept. Most of those killed were crushed to death in their sleep. The crash came so suddenly there was no chance to escape. Six hours after the wreck eight bodies had been taken to morgues and twenty-five persons were miss- ing and believed to have been In- cinerated in the wreck. One hundred and twenty-five per- sons were taken to hospitals at Gary. Twenty others were brought to Ham- mond. Ind. At Gary it was said that twenty- eight of the injured could not survive and six at Hammond were reported beyond hope of recovery. Four died at Hammond and four on the relief train carrying it from Ivanhoe to Gary, Manager Gollman, of the show, which exhibited under canvas at Michigan City, 2nd., last night, esti- mated that the death list would reach siity- seven.

Those thrown free from the wreck stood in their night clothes, helpless while their comrades perished in the fiumes. Surgeons and nurses -were dia- patched from Chicago, Gary, Ham- mond, Whiting and other nearby towns. The circus train had been com- pelled, by a hot box. to stop and a flagman was sent back to protect the rear of the train by the usual precautions, none of which, it ap- pears, were neglected. The signals were all ignored and the Pullman train crashed at terrific speed into the rear of the circus train, telescoping all of Its coaches. Engineer May Have Been Dead. L. W. Landman, general passenger agent of the Michigan Central, said that his only explanation ot the wreck was that the- engineer of tne train of empties must have been dead at tbe throttle. "In no other way can I account tar the fact that he ignored all of the usual danger signals placed by the circus said Mr. Landman. "He ran past two block signals, two red light signals and the usual fusees placed between tha rails and throw- ing off a brilliant red light visible for a long distance. "This engineer Is missing. My In- formation is that, with the exception of the engineer, whom fate is a mys- tery, not one on tbe train of Pull- mans was hurt. It will be some time before an accurate list of the dead can be compiled. It is the worst wreck in the history of the road, I believe." The large number of persons ia the casualty list is said to due to the practice of show trains of Bleep- ing persons to a. berth. The coaches were Pullmans of an obso- lete type converted Into gaudily painted show cars. Tbe wrecked train was the second aectlon wblch cairied performers and officials of the show.
