tie Victims Cannot be Iden titled

Glenwood Springs, Col. Sept IL
Coroner Clark intends to make a thor
ough investigation of the railroad ac-
c1dent yesterday morning on the juno
ton road near New Castle, Col, and fix
the responsibility for the terrible loss
of life resulting therefrouf The iury
will begin to take testimony as soon as
the attendance of the survivors of the
crews OF the trains that conided can be
secured. Engineer Ostrander of the
Midland stock train has not yet beenl
found, dead or alive. F. E. Burbank
conductor of the Midland train who is
under arrest declares that his orders
gave him sufficient time to reach New
Castle ahead of the Rio Grande passen-
ger train. which was wrecked by col
1ision with the Midland train The Off
Gals of both the Denver & Rio Grande
ana the Midland roads are making a
thorough investigation of the cause of
the accident. They claim that only l3
persons were killed and II injured. But
the flre that broke out in the wreck re-
duced some of the corpses to heaDs of
ashes and makes it difficult if not i'm
possible, to determine exactly how uany
lives We're lost. The remains of a num-
Der of bodies, variously estimated at
from six to ten, lie in a space. less than
would ordinarily be taken by one
corpse and must be buried without
Identification.
Mr.. and Mrs. e. H. Strouse. who live
one-fourth of a mile from the scene of
the accident, report that when the two
trains met, the shock was so great as
e..
say the noise was heard and the shock
felt in New Castle.
Ten bodies were found in the ruins OF
one car and four in another

Frank P. ManniX, a newspaper man,
of Victor, Colo, who was in the smoker
and escaped with some painful bruises
and burns, said:
Words fail to express the horror of
the scenes. The crash came uneXpect-
edly. Suddenly all was darkness, con-
fusion. The car was filled with sp1in-
ters, cinderS and heated gases. Then
the flames darted up on other sides. The
scene was indescribable.

send, for by their aid, the windows were
located, even though passengers had to
jump through burning flames

In the first place the people who are

heartened by the stress of hard times
consequent upon a failure of crops for
the past four Years. Every body has
been on the lookout for new location

last city election.
The consequence is we have a mayor
and council who conceived the financial
policy of allowing saloons TO open and
do business on payment of monthly
fines. As soon as this policy was made
known three saloons at once opened full

custom among them.
