BOISE. Idaho, Sept. ia Statesman special
from Pocstello, Idaho, says: A disastrous
wreck occurred at o'clock this morning on the
Union Pacific at Port Eeuf station, six
miles from PacateIlo. Passenger trains and
collided, killing five msh and seriously injuring
several Others. The killed are: Wiedemyer,
mail clerk. and tour Indians from Fort Hall
reservation. The injured are Engineer Charles
Hoyt, Chris Mckenzie, P. P. Gunderson. Mail
Clerk Lyons, two tramps and squaw.
Lyons was fearfully scalded and received III
ternal injuries. Engineer Hoyt had bis shout
der-b.ade broken and Is otherwise badly
bruised. Mckenzie and Gunderson both
had their arms broken and were terribly
cut on the bodies. This morning when
train No. left Pocatello, the conductor had Or
ders TO side track and pass No. l at Port Neuf
station. As No. neared this point 1t was dis
covered that No. l, westbound, had the RICH +
of-way and was just stopping, when
within less than half mile Of
No. / the engineer on No. 2 examined
his air-brake and discovered he had no control
over the train. He Immediately whistled down
brakes, but before the brakemen could respond
the trains were within few feet OF one an
other, and in another second No. crashed into
the other train, then at standstill.
No. was running at high rate OF
speed and the conclusion was terrific. Before
the collision the engigeer and hremen OF both
ualns jumped, al escaping unlhIureo except
Herit. A scene of great confusion followed. The
engine and the mail were piled in heaps
and the groans OF the injured filed the air. The
dead and wounded were taken from the debris
and the latter given the best possible care. The
coroner's jury held an inquest this evening on
the body OF Wiedemeyer and attached no blame to
the railroad company, as the air brakes were
working when the train left Pocatello. Lyons,
though fcarfully injured, may survive. A
wrecking train is still at the wreck. None of
the passengers were injured.
