FREIGHT WRECK NEAR BRYANT Seventeen Cars On G. R. & I. Train Ditched Friday Nifrht Near Bryant Seventeen coal cars in a northbound extra freight on the Grand Rapids division of the Pennsylvania railroad. were derailed uear Bryant Friday night iu what is considered one of the worst freight wrecks in the history of the division. Most of the cars were damaged beyond repair when they were derailed, track was torn ftp 1 for a distunce of 1.500 feet and Geo. Riley, a brakeman, of Fort Wayne, was painfully but not seriously in- ' jured. Damage will run well into thousands of dollars, It Is estimated. Tbe wrecking crews from Richmond and Fort Wayne, with nearly 200 men. who were called to 1 scene of tbe wreck, worked throughout tlie night nnd were still engaged today in clearing the rigjit-ofwuy; and replacing the track. f The Fort Wayne wrecking crew came here direct (com another wreck on the north division. j The wrecked train was in charge of Engineer I. Thompson and Con- , due tor John Barnes, both of Fort Wayne. The accident occurred along the passenger sidetrack north of Bryant. When the engineer saw thatthe train had parted, due to the derailed cars, fto opened the throttle on the online .to which several cars were still coupled, and continued down the track for some distance to keep the 'railing cars from crashing into the front section and possibly wrecking it. The train was running at a fairly rood rate of speed ut the time of the wreck. lairge jteel gondola coal cars shorn of hdr trucks and bent out of shape as if they had been made of tin. lay in the ditch along the right-of-way. iomr upright and others on their sides and still others conipfetly upset. A boxcar, containin'- equipment for the Internaiona! Harvester company, was practically reduced to kindling wood and much of Its freight was damaged. An oil tqnk car went into the ditch on the east side of the track and about two hundred barrels of crude oil were spilldu. Southbound passenger train No. 6 due in Fort Wayne at 11:55 p.m. was detoured through Columbia City and laicansport into Richmond after much delay us was the northbound passenger train No. 1. due in this city at 12:15 a in.
