People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 April 1897 — Ran Into a Landslide. [ARTICLE]
Ran Into a Landslide.
Missouri Pacific passenger train No 4 ran into a landslide about one and on«-half miles west of Staubert, Mo., at 7 o’clock Friday night. The engine, tender and mail car were telescoped, setting fire to the mail car, which in turn set fire to the baggage car, and both were entirely consumed. One man was killed and his body cremated, another was fatally burned, and a third badly injured.
