An AWFUL WRECK.
A WILD TRAIN ON THE MOUNTAINS
DOES FRIGHTFUL DAMAGE.
1t Collides With Another Freight, and
Four Men Meet Their Deaths
Brave Conductor Kingsley.

One of the most DISASTROUS and distress
ing accidents that has happened in the
railroad history of this coast occurred yes
terday morning just at break of day. The
station of Cascade, a few miles this side of
the Summit, was the scene of the disaster,
which resulted in the death of four en-
ployes of the railroad compaN.
An east bound freight train, made up at
Rocklin, reached the Summit shortly be-
fore o'clock yesterday morning. Another
freight train, also east bound, left Rocklin
about an hour after the first train
When the latter reached the Summit the
two engines were uncoupled and started
ahead to get fuel and water enough to carry
them the remainder of the distance While
the engines were thus engaged, for some
reason not known the train-consist-
ing of eleven loaded and six empty cars
started back down the grade in the direc-
ton of Cascade. Conductor Kingsley noticed
the cars moving, and Immediately jumped
aboard and began setting on the brakes.
His efforts, however, were of NO avail, and
THE RUNAWAY TRAIN
Kept increasing its speed every second.
Faster and faster it came down the grade
until the speed attained was frightful. The
caboose was IN the front, and behind it
were seventeen freight cars. The wild
train with its solitary passenger, Conductor
Kingsley, whirled down the grade and had
passed safely around a curve within a
short distance of the Cascade side-track,
when it could be seen that
TERRIBLE COLLISION
Was inevitable. The second freight train,
which left Rocklih, was just pulling onto
the side.track at Cascade, having had Or
ders to meet a west bound train at that
place. The train. with the exception of
the caboose and the last freight car, had
succeeded in getting on the siding when
the runaway train hove in sight, and in
almost twinkling dashed into the caboose,
knocked it TO pieces and then jumped the
track.
THE SCENE THAT FOLLOWED
Beggars description. Twenty or more
freight cars were overturned and piled on
top of one another, and when relief ar
rived there was found in the midst of the
wreckage the bodies of four human beings,
members of the crew of the second train,
and Conductor Kingsley.
Two hundred and fifty feet of newly
constructed shed was leveled to the ground
and the track was badly torn up. A por-
ton of the wreck struck the telegraph
office at Cascade and shattered it consider
ably burying the wires and thereby inter-
rupting communication for some time.
