one of his legs. Loder tried to find an axe.
with which the car was provided, but it was
on the other side of the car in three feet of
water. Presently the flames burned the tim
Der in two. enabling him to crawl out of the
window. The conductor says that in five
minutes after the train went down, the entire
wreck was wrapped in flames and in less time
than that all whs had not already escaped
were drowned. Frightful screams came
from the ruins, but with only two buckets
and no boats he and his helpers were power
less and all they could do was to close their
ears and call for death to come to the relief
of their comrades. 1t is believed that all
of the bodies have been recovered except one.
