The Facts.

The facts, as ascertained to-day by a report
er of The Times, are these: Samuel Fisher
and his fireman, VIM. Krigbaum, with engine
No. 149, were bringing passenger train No. 6
from the West, due here at 2:l5 a. m James
Nj. Haliett, conductor, Ed. Westlake and his
fireman, Z. Hodges with engine No. and the
Cannon BalP' train, James E. Corcan, con-
ductor, were going West. At Salem switch. a
slde-track station half way between Hutchin-
son and NickersOn, Hallett's train side-tracked
to let the West-bound train go by. A brake
man by the name OF Campbell went forward to
the East end OIL the swith, SO as to throw it
and let the train he was on go out after the
other had passed. From what can be learned.
he sat down and fell asleep. In few minutes
the train was onto him, and in half-dazed
state of mind he must have grabbed the switch
and, forgetting what he had done before
pulled 1t the wrong way, running the Can
non Ball onto the side-track also. Going at
full rate of speed, it plunged into the other
engine with crash, and when the smoke and
steam had cleared away, there, under the pale
gl1mmer OF the moon, and out on the bleak,
dreary prairie, lay the two monsters. masbe

Full Particulars.

TOPEKA, Oct. 3.-The news of that Sata Fe
wreck near Nickers IN, last night, was received
here this morning with mingled expressions
Of horror and sadness. This too is all occa-
stoned by the grave results of most frightful
and fatal accident. To relate its details in full
would make the heart sick and the blood run
cold. Criminal carelessaess on the part of a
brakeman by the name of Campbell, seems to
have been the chief and only cause.
The victims, except Harry Holiday, were all
residents of this city and well known as good
men, and for that reason the terrible and un-
timely ending of their lives is sufficient cause
Tor greater lamentation and deeper grief than
it Otherwise would have been. AS the facts
became generally known, railroad men and
the friends Of the unfortunates could be seen
congregated in squads, with gloom pictured
upon their countenances, mournfully discuss
ing in detail the horrible affair and how it hap
pened.
In the death of Ed Westlake and Sam
Fisher, every man who knew them reels as
though he had lost friend Both were ex-
eel ent men, and stood at the head of their
profession as locomotive engineers. In them
the Santa Fe loses two of It's Oldest and most
worthy employees.

through by q ball from Winchester rifle,

wards cut out. His wounds have not, as
yet, fully healed, and at times he suffers
intense pain. At first he refused to di-
vulge the names of his comrades, but sub.
sequently he unwittingly gave them away
in his answer to questions put
to him, and when pressed for the truth
would neither admit or deny that they
were along. He said that there were four
of them, but that one of the number did
not take part in the fight rs he had no
