Fatal Wreck on the d. c.

The Deadwood Central passenger train
was wrecked near Puma station. about
4 o'clock Tuesday morning, killing one
man. James Scott by name, an employe
at the ID. c. round house. and iniuring
several others. The names of the in
jured are:
VIM. Thomas. skull fractured.
Walter Simpson, head and face in.
jured.
Walter Simpson, Jr., face and body in
jured.
Engineer Monohan, scalp wounds,
back injured and probable internal in
%juries.
Fireman Harding, dislocated ankle
and bruises.
John Kyle. left limb injured.
Thos. Monroe, left limb injured.
j. &. Goldrick, back and side injured.
Conductor Crist, back and bowels in
jured.
The train wal the regular early morn
ing passenger, and the most of those
aboard were Deadwood people who bad
been attending a ball at Lead City.
The accident occurred on a ~ per cent
grade and was caused by the wheels OF
the engine slipping OH the frosty rails.
No efforts ON the part of the crew, to
stop the train, availed, and after a ter
rible run for a distance ofone mile, while
rounding a curve, it jumped the track
and plunged into the hillside, killing or
injuring everyone of the crew and pas
sengers.
Engineer Monohan stayed at his post
till the last moment and was taken out
of the wreckage of the engine, badly
hurt but strange to say not fatally so.
Those who jumped while the train was
in motion received the most serious in
juries. VIM. Thomas cannot recover
and doubtless is dead ere this, having
suffered a terrible fracture of the skull.
The company is not considered to be in
any way responsible for the accident.
The terrible grade and the condition OF
the rails let to the terrible results.
The loss to the company is about
$4,000, and aside from that they will
probably have to meet several suits for
damages. With the exception of young
Thomas all the injured ones are doing
nicely.
