RAILWAYHOL0CAUST
TWO TRAINS CRASH TOGETHER AND
KILL FORTY PEOPLE.

The Cars Catching Fire Immediately and
Roasting Every One who Was Pinioned
In the wreck-The Exact Number OF
Dead VIII Probably Never BE Known.
New Castle Colo, Sept. 1.-THE worst
wreck in the history of the state OF Colo
RADIO occurred at 1925 yesterday morn
ing on the track Of the Denver and Rio
Grande and the Colorado Midland rail-
ways, one and a half miles west Of here.
After twelve hours incessant work by the
wreclxing crews in clearing away the
debris and rescuing the bodies of those
who perished 1t was still impossible to
secure more than estimate of the loss of
life, and not even those known to be
dead had been identified. Many of the
unfortunates will never be known, and
1t is possible that the number killed viii!
always be in doubt. From the best in
formation obtainable now fully thirty
PERSONS are believed to have perished,
while 1S5 were taken out of the wreck
suffering from serious injuries.
Passenger and Stock Trains Collide.
The wreck was caused by head-end
collision between a Denver and Rio
Grande passenger train running at the
rate of forty miles an hour and special
Colorado Midland stock train running at
a speed Of probably thirty miles So ter
rife was the concussion that both en-
gines the baggage and express cars, the
smoker and day coaches. and two stock
cars were totally demolished and the
track torn up for rods in both directions.
To add to the horror of the scene the
wreck caught fire from an explosion of
a Pintsch gas tank on the passenger
train, and burned so rapidly that many
passengers pinned beneath the debris
were burned to death before help could
reach them.
The most generally accepted theory
as to the cause of the wreck seems to be
that Conductor Burbank, of the Mid
land special, anticipating the time Of the
passenger, undertook to "steal sta
tion" and beat the passenger into New
Castle. Burbank escaped uninjured, and
upon orders from Coroner Clark has
been placed under arrest by the sheriff.
Midland Engineer Ostrander is missing,
and thorough search all about his en-
gine fails to reveal any vestige Of his
remains. 1t is thought that when he
saw the threatened danger he jumped
from his engine and realizing his negli-
gence took to the hills. Mr.. and Mrs. E.
II. Strouse, who live quarter of mile
from the scene Of the accident, report
that when the two trains met the shock
so great as to literally hurl them out of
bed. Some say the noise was heard and
felt in New Castle.

Five New Cases Mt New Orleans and -Four
Likely To BE Added Today.

Likely To BE Added Today.
New Orleans, Sept. 15.-The official
bulletin of the board Of health for New
Orleans yesterday is as follows as Of
ficially announced by the state board of
health: Concerning the original twelve
cases it is stated by Dr. Woods, of the
sanitary inspection department, on per-
sonal observance that three already re-
ported as seriously i'll are decidedly
better. The remaining nine have prac-
tically recovered. OF the three new cases
declared yellow fever only one Is con-
sidered seriously i'll. Positive cases of
yellow fever have been declared to exist

positive cases Of yellow fever, represent
ing six foci of infection. All cases re-
ported as suspicious are at once put
under guard and strict quarantine will
be maintained until every possibility of
danger from that case is at an end. Out
side Of the above official declarations

lwill probably be added to the list today.

THE HURRYING FEET OF WOMEN

at the newborn infants cry, tells the story
of wonan's sympathy for her sister-womari:
If women would only spread the medical
gospel, that a woman is untitled for wife
hood and motherhood as long as she suffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly
womanly organism there would be less
necessity for the sisterly sympathy that a
woman receives when she is in the throes
of child bearing. !,
A woman who is thoroughly strong and
healthy in a womanly way has to suffer
comparatively little pain and sickness when
she becomes mother. DR.. Pierce's Favor

and important organs that bear the burdens
of maternity and gives them health,
strength and elasticity. It allays infiamma-
