Monon Freight and Passenger Trains Meet on Single Track Sunday Morning. Two Indianapolis enginemen were painfully hurt and many passengers were shaken up at 1:40 o’clock Sunday morning in the Monon yards at Monon, when southbound passenger train No. 25 crashed into northbound freight No. 90. Both locomotives were demolished and Frank passenger engineer, 2637 Ashland avenue, Indianapolis, was cut and bruised about the lower limbs. Hie fireman, Charles Cook, 914 East Twenty-fourth street, In-
