A WRONG SIGNAL
NIGHT EXPRESS WRECKED HEAVY CASUALTIES [ Australian Press Assn. ] STOCKHOLM, June 22. A shocking night express disaster occurred at Bolnaes, 200 miles north, of Stockholm. Owing to a wrong signal the express dashed into an auxiliary engine. The three front coaches were derailed and set on fire and both locomotives were smashed. There was terrible confusion in the darkness. Nine bodies and 35 people badly injured have already been extricated, but it is feared that the casualties are much heavier, and probably include foreign tourists.
