FREIGHT WRECK AT BROOK—CARS BURNED

Three Box Oars and Caboose Destroyed by Fire After Rear End Collision Today. This Tuesday morning at about 10 o’clock one freight train ran into the rear of another on the C. & E. 1. railroad at Brook. Both trains were south bound and one was standing still on the track. The other crashed into it at a good rate of speed, derailing the caboose and four box cars, which it set on fire and all were destroyed.
