miles north of this station Seven dead
ocd1es have been recovered from the.
wreck, and 1t is feared other victims
are buried beneath the debris.
The wrecked train was the eastbound
passenger No. q the same that had
such thrilling experience with ban
dts in New Mexico on Friday night
last The wreck was caused by the
explosion of the boiler of the locomo-.
tive. The engineer should have stopped
Tor water at Usage City, but. being be-
mind time, he endeavored to run to the
next tank. Though 1t Is not positively
KNOWN the engineer and fireman hav-
ing both met death in the wreck, II is
surmised that their neglect was the
cause of the disaster The train had
proceeded but two miles beyond this
place, about to the Peterson coal
chutes, when two terrific explosions
were heard, one following close after,
the other The locomotive was com
pletely shattered. The express, passen-
ger and baggage coaches came crash
ing upon the wrecked engine. and. the
coaches that We're ahead were piled
up in one heap of wreckage The
coaches in the rear were all derailed.
put the passengers riding in the rear
escaped serious injury.
The wreck was marked by scenes
OF the widest confusion among the
terrified passengers. The neryea Of
many were at a high pitch as result
OF their experience with the road
agents in New Mexico, and when the
crash came the first impression Of
nearly all was that the train had been
attacked again by robbers. One pas
senger, William Becker. Of Los An
geles, Cal, en- route to Chicago, seemed
TO lose his reason entirely. When the
crasn came he drew a single barreled
pistol from his pocket and in the pres
ence OF car full of terrified passen
gers took his own life, sending 8, bullet
into his brain. Becker had beer
drinking heavily. He was about fifty-
five years of age
Owing to the excitement and con-
fusion. little could be done to rescue
the injured and remove the dead bodies
seven bodies were finally recovered.
