THIRTY PERlSHED IN THE CARS.
Awful Railroad Wreck in Colorado
Many burned Bodies.

Newcastle, Col, Sept. 1.-THE worst
railroad wreck in the history of Colorado
occurred at 1925 yesterday morning on
the Joint track of the Denver & Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland railways,
one and half miles west of this place
After II hours of incessant work by the
wrecking crews in clearing away the de
bris and rescuing the bodies of those who
perished, it is yet impossible to secure
more than estimbate of the loss life, and
none of those known to be dead have
been identified. Many Of the unfortu-
nate will never be known, and it is pos
sible that the number of killed will al
ways be in doubt. From the best infor-
nation obtainable now, fully 80 persons
are believed to have perished, while Is
were taken out of the wreck suffering
serious injuries.
The list of the dead and injured so far
as known is as follows:
The dead, so far as recognized are: j.
f. Keenan,, mail agent, of Denver; Rob
ert S. Holland, fireman D. 8, R. G., of
Saida; Mrs. Alex Hartman and two
sons, of Hercher, ILL.,; James Ilerrick of
Chicago; Charles Leeper of Clarion, Pa;
William Gordon, engineer of the passen-
ger train; William Hines, fireman.
The injured are: Rev. Alexander Hart
man of Hercher, ILL.,, both legs broken
john S. Stander of Blacktoot, Idaho, leg
broken and face cut; Miss Pearl Cornell
of Alciel, Or, hip sdilocated; j. G. Yea
ger OF Toledo, Ohio injured internally;
j. Longman of Whittier, Cal, slightly
wounded: Mrs. Mary Israel of st. Paul,
Mimi, slight injuries internally; j. L.
Snyder of Independence, Kan, slightly
burned; ID. ii. McAneny of Victor, Col,
face injured; O. V. Tyson of Cockrell, cut
badly about head: r. II. Brckley of Chi
cago. back in jured; j. G. Young of st.
Louis, cut in forehead; Thomas Nash of
Moab, Utah, left arm broken; Frank p.
Mannix of Victor, Col, bruised and
slightly burned r. W. Shott of Leeper,
Pa, badly bruised; Brakeman Knapp, leg
crushed; James b. Foley, express messen
ger, bruised William S. Missimer, ex-
press messenger, bruised.
Tie wreck was caused by a head-end
collision between a Denver 4 Rio Grande
passenger train running at the rate of 40
miles an hour, and a special Colorado
Midland stock train running at a speed
of 30 miles, SO terrific was the concus-
sion that both engines, baggage and eX-
press, smoker and day coach were totally
demolished and the track torn up for
rods in both directions. To add to the
horror of the scene the wreckage at once
caught fire from an explosion of a Pintsch
gas tank in the passenger train, and
burned so rapidly that many passengers
pinned beneath the debris burned to
death before help could reach them.

Tramp of the Warriors Causes the
City to Appear Besiesed.

city to Appear BesleSeu.
Throughout Saturday the city was Civ
en- up to excitement which, by its sup
pressed character, was more ominous
than turbulence would have been. The
incoming Of the state troops served to
COW the strikers and their sympathizers
and no further demonstration was made
than the gathering at street corners of
knots of men and women in muttered
but intense discussion of the shooting. At
night there were fully $500 soldiers camp
ing in town. The first to arrive was the
Ninth regiment from Wilkesbarre. Then
came the Thirteenth, Thirty-fourth,
Sixth from Lebanon, Twelfth from Will
Transport, Battery B from Phoenixville,
the Governors troop from Harrisburg,
and the City troop from Philadelphia.
The town itself looked as if it were in
a state of siege Saturday night, as the
booted and spurred warriors were to be
seen at every turn. The presence of the
troops has sufficed to maintain order
thus far, but it is not repressng public
opinion. This is almost unanimous in
condemning in the most severe terms the
action of the deputies. "Official murder"
is the phrase on almost every tongue,
and for substantiation of the charge at
tention is directed to the fact that the
deputies carried Winchester rifles, each
man having II rounds Of ammunition, a
revolver and box of cartridges, while
the marching strikers were defenseless,
having unanimously surrendered what
ever weapons they may have had before
the march was begun.
At IL o'clock today the bodies of the
unfortunate men who fell under the lead
storm will be laid away. Services will be
held in the Polish Catholic church, where
requiem high mass will be celebrated.
Pitiful Sights at the Morgue.
The hospital was the heartrending
place Saturday. All day long groups Of
sunken- eyed, sallow-cheeked women,
many bearing children in their arms,
hung about the steps and eagerly
watched the doors. Some sat in stony
silence as if unaware as yet OF what had
happened, while others were bowed and
bent beneath uncomfortable storms of
grief About the dead house in the rear
Of the hospital building, where lay two
OF three bodies, the scene was infinitely
pitiful. During the part of the day Ia
mentations no less mournful could be
heard at the building called the morgue,
a one-story wooden structure which ordl-
narily does duty as a stable. Here lay
four more bodies. The long line Of cots
Oh either side of the ''wounded' ward in
the hospital presented a CHASTITY specta-
clc
The time when the coroner's inquest
will be held is still undecided.

newspapermen paid 500 extra and went
up on the Hamilton.
Captain Hall thinks the Portland on
her next trip will bring down a million
dollars.
Charles Engle of New York city, who
has becr, in the Yukon for three years,
came out with his wife and four children.
He sold out his interests there and prac-
tically fled for fear of starvation.
Another of the Cleveland's passengers
was Hans Anderson OF Tacoma. He has
been i'll the country only since last
spring, but will return next year with
sufficient food to last for three years. An
derson brings with him about $4,000 i'll
gold dust and nuggets.
+. r. Churchill of the provincial
mounted police, stationed at Dawson
City, who came down on the Cleveland,
is interested in some valuable mining
property on Bonanza creek, and is re-
turning for the purpose of purchasing
supplies for the development Of his claim.
There are only three hotels in Daw-
son City, and meals, consisting of bread,
coffee and baked beans, cost $3.50, which
is considered cheap. Lumber costs $3.50
per 1000 feet, and is hard to get.
Among the passengers on the Cleveland
was Charles Ross, whose home is in the
Northwest territory. Ross accompanied
the first deta chment of mounted police
into the Yukon country and has been
there ever since.
Ross believes that the American side
Of the line offers the best inducements

and the camps on the tributaries, and
found them practically deserted, every
body having gone in the rush to the

good pay could be realized

sengers on the Cleveland and Excelsior

pounds of provisions and tools. z. O.

Worth is to take up, was about ready

NOT so GREAT AS FIRST STATED.
The Red Cloud Strike Story Was
a Little Too Enthusiastic.

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. n.-A. E. Carl
son of the Red Cloud Mining Company
says the recent strike on the property
is not so great as Mr.. Allen understood
when he gave out the first accounts of
it. The ore was only found with the
last shot fired and nothing is known
as to it's extent. There are still 10 feet
to run on the contract let some time
ago. and it was expected to go even
farther before striking ore, as it is still
so or 40 feet short of being under the
chute shown in the shaft
