Spokesmen for the Wabash Railroad estimated there were about 50 passengers and 10 crewmen aboard the twin diesel train which was bound from Detroit to St. Louis. Conductor. A. L. Johnson, Peru, said he was on one of the train’s two passenger coaches when the accident occurred. "The cars began leaving the tracks right after the impact,” he said. "The people did not panic but there was quite a bit of screaming.” The impact threw both diesel locomotive units, an express car, two mall cars and the dining car from the rails and ripped up about 1,000 feet of main line track. Johnson, who said he had survived about five previous wrecks, said this was his worst. He estimated the damage at more than a half-million dollars. Mrs. Edna Olden, Logansport, said she was looking out a window when “all of a sudden a big cloud of dust blocked my view and I felt an impact. I thought we had hit another train but I heard someone say we had hit some other object. A lot of people flew into the aisles but I managed to stay in my seat. I wasn’t hurt. I’m just real nervous and shaken up a bit.” Francis Van Leer, whose nearby home was turned into a first aid station for the victims, said the passesgers “had a stunned look on their faces as if they didn’t know what happened.” Van Leer said he heard Mauck’s truck pass his house, then heard the train whistle and an explosion which “sounded like a cannon.” "I ran out the door and looked south. I saw a tremendous Plan Workshop On Legislative Goals “Financial obstacles in the 1965 general Assembly” will be discussed by Senator Galen A. Colclesser, Huntington, and Senator Wilfrid J.

amount of dust and the two engines went right past in a ball of fire,” he said. The truck’s fuel tank exploded from the impact and flaming gas flew into the cab of the locomotive, burning engineer Clay Peck, 64, and fireman Milford T. Bobb, 44, both of Decatur, 111. Several mail sacks cascaded from one of' the overturned mail cars and fell into the blazing grass but a postal inspector said the sacks apparently were empty. “As far as we can determine, there was no serious loss of mail,” he said. Affidavits Filed On Meier Violalions Affidavits have been filed in Decatur city court against three local residents for failure to pay parking meter violations, Judge John B. Stults said today. Three counts of failing to pay meter violations were filed against George R. Thomas, a resident of 925 Winchester St., and one court each was filed against Sarah Philpot, 318 S. 13th St., and May Myers, route 6, Decatur. The affidavits, signed by city city parking meter officer Raymond Seitz, were filed in the city court today by city attorney John L. DeVoss. Judge Stults has set Saturday, September 26, as a date for hearing in all three cases involving the local people. What would have been taken care of with 25 cents, will now cost the individuals considerably more for each unpaid ticket. Judge Stults said the three may pay the $1 fine, plus $lO court costs, with the city clerk-treasur-er before the September 26 hearing date. If summoned for trial, the fines will be $lO and costs, or a total of s2l for each unpaid ticket. The meter violators, of course, did not pay the 25 cents within hours of receiving the ticket, and were notified of the unpaid violation, which they could have paid for with $1 at that time. They were notified a second time of the unpaid violations, but none appearently heeded the warning, and thus* have been cited into court. Truck Damaged By Fire This Morning A semi-trailer truck suffered more than SI,OOO damage in a fire early this morning south of the city. Jack Ihrig, of Chicago, was operating a semi-trailer rig owned by Sprague, Inc M of Chicago, on U. S. 27, when a tire, or tires, blew out near the small county road that leads to Monroe, at 6:45 a.m. The truck was loaded with dog food. Ihrig continued driving the truck until he reached Coppess Corners, where, he stopped to summon aid. Moments later the truck became ablaze, apparently from the left rear tandem tfres, which caught fire first. The sheriffs department Vas called, and also the Monroe rural fire department, which extinguished the fire. In all, four tires and the trailer panels of the truck were damaged by the blaze. Damage was estimated at SBOO to the tires and SSOO to the truck.
