Injured.
It was reported yesterday that nobody was physically injured by the accident on the railroad near Lucin, but since then we have learned that a woman who was a passenger on the eastern bound emigrant train, which was run into by the passenger, was badly injured, and was left at Ogden in charge of a physician. The locomotive of the passenger train drove the caboose of the emigrant train five or six feet into an emigrant car, and it was a matter of surprise to those who witnessed it that more persons were not injured. The engineer and fireman escaped by jumping from the engine, before the trains struck.
