TRAGEDY IN UTAH
FAST TRAIN STRIKES SCHOOL BUS TWENTY-SIX CHILDREN KILLED. AT LEAST TWELVE OTHERS INJURED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 1.25 p.m.) SALT LAKE CITY, December 1. Twenty-six students aged from twelve to sixteen were killed and at least twelve were seriously injured when a high school bus was struck by a fast goods train during a snowstorm. A number of those injured are not ex* pected to survive. Hysterical and screaming parents jammed the local hospital, where the victims were taken. There was the greatest difficulty in identification. The bus was hit in the middle and bent in the form of a narrow horseshoe after the collision. The train continued for a quarter of a mile, strewing the track-with dismembered bodies, books, band instruments, luncheon boxes and the wreckage of the bus.
