When the Berkeley local reached

tower permitied the train to remain on
the main track, Instead OF side.track-

limited crashed into the last car o. the
Berkeley train, blowing up the plat
form and knocking the trucht from
beneath. The car bed.
In tie last car were score Of peo-
pie returning from San Francisco.
Sophia LauritseD was lifted from one
of the car seats and flung violently
Into the aisls. Her back lie injured and
she sustained Internal Injuries which
1t lie feared will prove fatal. Just before
the crash Walter Cornish, the fireman
on the Sunset engip3, leaped upon the
rocks to avoid what appeared to be an
Inevitable death, and was terribly
bruised and cut.
A few Of the passengers who hap.
psned to DO looking out OF the rear
door caught sight OF the headlight OF
the engine as 1t approached and
attempted to escape. Mr.. and Mrs.
Monroe rushed frsntically from tue

pied, sat w. q. Dudley Of Ogden, Utah.

and pry about with umbrellas In order
10 assist the sinking couple without
going down themselves. Finally by
prying and much exertion they got an
umbrella under the arms Of the man
and woman and managea to get them
out. All the rescueTs were covered
with scratches and mud.
Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe weru carried
