MANY BADLY HURT.
A Passenger Train Goes over "a High EN-
bankment in Colorado-Twenty-Six PeI-
sons Injured, and Some May Die.

Passenger Train Goes over a High EN-
bankment in Observation-Disclosures PeI-
sons Injured, and Some May Die.
DENVER, Col, Sept. 14.-Passenger
train No. 314, bound toward Denver on
Pacific railway, was wrecked Sunday
morning about IL o'clock near Beaver
Brook station and twenty-six pas
sengers were injured, five of
whom will probably die. The
train was late and running rap
idly and when rounding a sharp
curve the express car left the track and
rolled down 15-foot embankment.
1t was followed by the mail and two
passenger coaches, one of which turned
over twice before reaching the bottom.
The train was loaded with passengers,
many of whom were knights of
pythias who were returning from
the knights of pythias state conven-
ton which was held at Aspen last
week When the news reached Golden,
Col, wrecking train was ordered out
and was starting when Robert Pruin,
an employee of the road, attempted to
board the engine. In doing so his
revolver fell from his hip pocket,
the hammer striking a stone,
and the weapon was discharged,
the ball taking effect in the mans
neck, making a wound which will re-
suit fatally. Those seriously injured
in the wreck were left at Golden in the
hands of physicians, while those not
badly hurt were brought to this city
and taken to their homes or the hos
pitfalls. 1t is not known exactly what
caused the wreck, but as the track was
a narrow gauge and the coaches very
top heavy it is thought that the train
was running too rapidly for safety.
A passenger train on the Colorado
Central railroad was wrecked at noon
Sunday. Fifteen passengers were in
jured, but it is thought none fatally.
1t has been impossible to learn the
particulars yet. as the telegraph Office
at that place has been closed.
