One hundred and ten of the ring horses of Buffalo Bill'* wild west show wetn crushed to death in a railroad wreck near Lexington at 3 o'clock this morning. Among the horses killed wis 4'Old Pap,11 Col. Cody'* favorite saddle h lrse. 44C)ld Kagle," the star ring horse, was killed and his mangled oody fell on top of one of the wrecked engines. The team of mnleethat drew the Dead wood coach wer? nlso killed. Col. Cody spent today at the scene of the wreck and is heart broken over the slaughter, lie save his loss is $60,000. The accident was the result of a head-end collision between n fast southbound'freight train and the second section of the show train, and was due to a misunderstanding of orders. Several train hands were injured, hut no one was killed. Twelve thousand people greeted the wild west show in Charlotte yesterday and it left at midnight for Danville, Vu., where it wan to have made its last stand of the season. At Danville the show was to have disbanded and the animals sent to Bridgeport, Conn., te go into winter quarters. The show left here in three section*. Near Lexington as the section wa* going at 25 miles a hour, a fast snulhbouud freight train crashed into it. Both engines were wrecked. Next to the engine of the show train were two large stock cars containing the horses and this is where the slaughter occurred. The cars were smashed into huge, distorted heaps an:l only 2 horses escaped alive. The scene was sickening and from the mass of wreckage blood poured in a stream that ran alongside the railroad track in a small rivulet. Col. Cody's engage uent at Danville whs called off in consequence of the disaster which marked the close of a very successful tour. lie had a contract stipulation with the Southern ia case of accident, stating values of stock, etc. 'I'll#* tdlll nal Inuu 1 u aulimut*/! ? * between $40,000 und $50,000.
