Twenty-seven persons are known to
have been killed and fifty injured,
half of them seriously, in the most
disastrous railroad wreck in the his-
tory of Oklahoma in a headoii colli-
sion that occurred two miles south-
west of Kelleyville, Okla., Friday af-
ternoon, about 2 o'clock, when Frisco
passenger train No. 407, leaving
Claremore at 10:38 a. m., ran into an
empty troop train coming east.
The collision occurred just after
tjie passenger train crossed the
bridge over Polecat creek. The crews
of both engines jumped, saving their
lives, but were severely injured.
The passenger train was in charge
of Engineer Rule of Sapulpa, who
was able to walk to his home in that
city after he had jumped lrom his
engine. M. N. Catterton, his fireman,
also of Sapulpa, was brought to the
hospital in this city with the wound-
ed passengers.
The troop train was running in two
sections and the first had passed the
passenger just out of Kelleyville.
Not knowing there was another sec-
tion behind, the passenger train took
the main track and crossed the river.
"We had just left the bridge," said
Fireman Catterton, "when we saw
the other train coming around the
curvo just ahead. Rule threw on his
emergency brakes and whistled for a
stop. I jumped as he did so and that's
all 1 remember. I rolled down an em-
bankment fifty or sixty feet and laid
there unconscious until picked up.
Rule jumped just after I did but hit
daylight and the arrival of a wrecking
crew.
Deputy sheriffs rushed to the scene
from Sapulpa are guarding the mail
and baggage cars and their contents.
It was said on high authority that
there was an unusually large amount
of money being conveyed in the mail
car. The officers were armed and in-
structed to shoot on sight any prow-
lers or looters.
J. H. Braden, of this city, enroute
to Oklahoma City, was on the west-
i ound train, but after an anxious
nrght, Saturday morning Mrs. Bra-
dun received a telegram from her hus
and announcing that he was on the
train at the time of the wreck but
was uninjured.

.New York, N. Y., Sept. 26, 1917.
Dear Bill:—A pair is much better
'.ban one of a kind. So do some but-
ting. Congratulations.
Ye terday was out to the camp and
saw all of the boys except Sutton.
Am going out again today and hope
. to see him. They all look fine and
say they have the finest bunch of fel-
lows Possible. When I asked Bill
Ramsey how he liked the camp and
everything in general he said: "Well,
\ I am as patrii«ic as hell, but I wish
the war was over."
Got to the camp and had no trouble
in getting in, but when it camp to lo-
cating the boys it was a different
matter It was hot and dusty and
rough walking, but I kept on and
finally located them. There was quite
The W. H. Fry and the S. C. Nunley
automobiles collided on the road to
the Prep, just west of the Cat creek
bridge, Tuesday night shortly after
seven o'clock. At the time of the ac-
cident W. H. Fry was driving the for-
mer car and Mrs. Nunley the latter.
The cars were passing, the Nunley
car going west and the Fry car east,
when the accident occurred. The bump-
er on the Nunley car caught the left
fender of the Fry car and the Nunley
car being the heaviest damaged the
Fry Ford considerably.
At the time of the accident, Mrs.
Nunley was accompanied by Earl Fry
and other passengers. Earl had vol-
unteered to drive the car to the Fris-
co depot for Mrs. Nunley as she de-
sired to meet her husband who was
coming in from Tulsa. The train was
late and they went for a little spin
un the Prep road. WThen they had

Arthur Tracey, of Nowata, was the and to himself. He is an expert
second white man to be identified
among the dead.
John Crownover, of Shamrock, a
former deputy sheriff of Creek coun-
ty, is the other white man known to
have been killed.
H. P. Whiteleff, of Sapulpa, is the
only one identified among the sixteen
negro victims.
The dead were taken to Bristow and
Sapulpa. Information from there says
that the victims number 14 negro
men, three negro women and three In-
dians. None of them have been iden-
tified with the exception stated
above.
Cars Smashed to Bita
The engines and five coaches were
smashed to bits. The first two coach-
es of the troops cars and the mail,
baggage, smoker and first chair cars
of tne passenger were demolished, the
first three being completely torn to
splinters.
The mail car was split and its floor
was driven back thru the smoker, in
the front of which was the "Jim
Crow" car, pinioning and driving the
occupants into a wedge of its death
as it passed. This accounts for the
large number of negroes killed.
Fuller Extracts Seventeen
Wood Fuller, of Sapulpa, formerly
a member of thfe fire department of
that place, headed the searching par-
ty that combed ttie debris of the
splintered death car for bodies. With
his hands he tore he way thru the
side of the car and recovered seven-
teen bodies.
From the wreckage protruded ] and willingly,
hands, arms and feet of the dead.
Doctors declared that many of them
had been killed instantly without hav-
ing known of the crash.

children numbered among the dead

field of endeavor.

It was not until late Saturday eve-
ning that the wreckage was cleared
away and trains commenced to run
over the tracks where the disaster oc-
curred. Up to the time of the clear-
ing away of the wreckages, passenger
service from the west was demoral-
ized, trains having to make a detour
by way of Shawnee and Holdenville.
Time tables were of little avail, as
most of the trains were running from
two to three hours late. The com-
pletely wrecked coaches were burned
Saturday night and early Sunday
moming.
One of the reasons so many of the
identifications were made at such a
late hour is due to the fact that there
has been a telephone operators'
strike at Sapplpa since last Tuesday,
and considerable cf the telephonic
long distance business is relayed at
the latter place during normal times,

Thursday of this week Rogers coun-
ty was called upon to bid good-bye and
wish God-speed to 74 more sons who
on that day boarded a special Frisco
troop train here bound lor Lamp Trav-
is, Texas, there to take up their mili-
tary training preparatory to entering
me European war on the siue of the
Allies.
the arrangements for the entrain-
ment ot the tioys were practically the
same as those of September 20th,
when 70 Roge.s county men entrained
here for Camp Travis. Wednesday
afternoon at 1 o'clock the boys report-
ed to Joe Chambers, chairman of the
Rogers county exemption board.
They were then turned over to Cap-
tain W. R. Holland, of this city, who
had complete jurisdiction over them
until they boarded the troop special.
I hey were entertained at the picture
shows Wednesday night and otherwise
made to feel that the town was theirs
and that the citizenship of Claremore
tully appreciated the sacrifice they
were making.
The troop special left Claremore at
10:50 Thursday morning. Prior to
that time the boys were mobilized in
front of the Lipe Grocery Store where
announcements were made by Captain
Holland. Then accompanied by the lo-
cal Boy Scouts, as a military escort,
the draft boys were marched to the
Baptist church where they were ad-
dressed by Rev. R. J. Pirkey, pastor of
the church, who formally bade them
good-bye and wished them God-speed
in the name of the citizenship of Clare-
more and Rogers county. Others also
took occasion to bid them good-bye in
short informal speeches.
Reverend Pirkey also presented each
young man with a khaki bound New
Testament, the same being of those

Proeress and made possible by the lj
