TRAIN WRECK KILLS THREE

Chicago Bound Passenger Runs Into Street Car in Peoria. Peoria, 111., Nov. 24. —Three killed and a number injured was the reported toll of a wreck on the Rock Island road when a passenger train collided with a street car here. The passengers were penned in the cars and it was with difficulty that they were extricated from the wreckage. It was impossible to estimate whether other victims were pinned beneath the debris, but a large wrecking crew rapidly cleared away the wreckage, and it is thought that three lives total the disaster. The number of injured is problematical, however, as a number were removed to private residences.
