The responsibility for the accident rests
on Engineer Montgomery, of the ill-fated
excursion train. His orders were to wait
at Logan for the fast mail and fast freight.
He started his train out Immediately after
the mail passed, forgetting about the freight.
The head-end collision occurred twenty min
utes later curve. The heavy freight
passed partially over the passenger. All the
people killed were in the front coach of the
excursion. All the dead and Injured were
brought to Omaha today.
IDENTIFYING THE DEAD.
The train which carried the dead arrived
at the union depot at $3.50 o'clock. 1t had
been given out that it would not arrive until
noon, and this was responsible for the fact
that only few Of the relatives of the lost
were there to receive their bodies. But
even then, there was enough Of heart break
ing woe to touch the sympathies of those who
saw the pitiful spectacle.
The police had stretched ropes across the
platform to keep back the crowd, and the
trainmen. assisted by posse of police, ten
derly lifted the bodies from the train and
deposited them in long, ghastly row on
the floor in the baggage room. Each was
covered by a sheet, and when the line was
complete, a passage was cleared and those
who had friends among the dead were al
lowed to pass through the improvised morgue.

| Ing the coverings from each bruised and
blackened face as they went. along. Some of
them failed to find the face they carried In
their hearts Others found 1t but too soon,
and their shrieks as they beheld the terrible
certainty that killed all hope was pitiful to
see. One father bent over sheeted form
that lay near the middle of the row.
The light that filtered through the breath
less crowd fell on the still features of his
little boy. The body was terribly crushed
but the face was untouched Involuntarily
he lifted the shroud little further until the
mangled body was disclosed, then uttered
cry of agony. The fact that several of the
dead were children added not little to the
pathos Of the scene. At one end Of the row
lay the body Of Mrs. Bradley, while her
babe slept between two strong men at the
other. Finally the body of the child was
laid beside that of it's mother and they were
taken away together. The train brought over
twenty bodies altogether. Only part Of
them were identified during the half hour
they lay at the depot. and then they were all
taken away to various undertaking establish
ments to be prepared for burial. Some of
the identifcations were not positive and in
several cases, one bystander would claim to
be certain that he saw the body of one man
while another would be equally positive that
he was mistaken. But the bodies were so
badly mangled that 1t was impossible to
allow them to remain longer without atten-
tion, and in several cases they may not be
positively identified until they are prepared
for burial.
