Collision Caused by Blizzard.

A head-end collision occurred at a curve on the Burlington & Missouri road, between Johnson and Graf, Neb., Tuesday evening, as a result of the storm. A passenger train from Beatrice had just left Johnson when it met and collided with a freight train, which was late on account of the heavy wind and snow storm. The trains were badly wrecked. Fred Jensen, the fireman of the passenger train, was killed, and three men were seriously injured. The crew of the passenger train was unable to see the freight on account of the blinding snow.
