Smash-up At Dexter

A freight smash-up at Dexter at four o'clock yesterday morning clelayed the Michigan Central trains. The two freight trains which collided were run by two Ann Arbor conductors, George Woolover and Delbert Keeler. However, neither of the men were to blame for the accident. Keeler's train was lying at the Dexter depot under the protection of the semaphore. Woolover saw the semaphore and endeavored to stop his train, which was an east-bound freight, but the brakes refused to work. Four cars containing bailed cotton, soap and beans were wrecked and the debris took fire and was consumed. No one was injured. The engine of Woolover's train was badly damaged but did not leave the track.
