SCENES FROM A FATAL WRECK

Through the kindness of Mrs. Olive Clingenpeel the Press is able to reproduce a perfect picture of her deceased daughter and also a couple of pictures taken shortly after the terribly accident occurred.

The train was wrecked by leaving the track near Dana, Idaho, which is about 30 miles west of Rawlings, striking a broken rail and ditching five coaches. Onboard were Mrs. Olive Clingenpeel, her daughter Edna and a daughter- in-law, Mrs. Rose Clingenpeel, bound for Caldwell, Idaho, for the benefit of the mother 's health, and to which place she returned last week. Miss Edna was instantly killed in the crash; her mother's wrist was badly sprained and Mrs. Rose Clingenpeel sustained a broken leg. The remains of the dead girl, who was well known here, were brought back for burial and interred in the Heisler cemetery.
