Wreck on Rock Island near Kansas City injures many
A Rock Island line wreck near Armontala two miles west of the Kaw River in Kansas City injured a dozen or more passengers. The smoker car of Rock Island trains Nos. 12 and 22 collided with a stopped smoker from No. 23, causing cars to derail and smoke to fill the air. No fatalities were reported though several were injured and a key factor was a misinterpreted order by engineer J Z O Connell. Newsman George Jacobs survived the crash with bruises after being thrown from a stage. Wrecking trains were dispatched and passengers reached the city by midnight.
