A FEARFUL. WRECK
THIRTY PEOPLE KILLED AND MANY
INJURED At NEWCASTLE, COLO.

Debris Takes Fire and but Few Of the
victins Arc Recognizable-Both SEn-
sincs and H,lf Dozen Coaches ga.A
Cars Totally Demolished
NEWCASTLE, Colo, Sept. 1.-THE
worst wreck in the history Of the state
of Colorado occurred at 1926 q. m. on
tho track Of the Denver and Rio Grande
and the Colorado Midland railways one
and half miles west Of here After IL
hours incessant work BY the wrecking
crews in clearing away the debris and
resoning the bodies Of those who per.
fshed, it is yet impossible to secure
more. than an estimate of the loss Of
life and not even those known to be
dead have been identified. Many Of
the unfortunates will never be known
and It is possible that the number killed
will always be in doubt. From the best
information obtainable now fully 10
persons are believed to have perished,
while many others were taken out Of
the wreck Suffering from serious in.
juries.
Coneusslon Was Terrific. >
The wreck was caused by headend
collision between Denver and Rio
Grande passenger train running at the
ratio of 40 miles and q special Colorado
Midland stock train running at speed
of probably 80 miles. So terrific was
the conclusion that both engines, bag.
gage and express cars, 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 q gas tank on
the passenger train and burned 80 rap
idly that many passengers pinned be-
meath the debris were burned to death
before help could reach them. The
most generally accepted theory as to
The Cause Of tho Wreck
seems to be that Conductor Burbank of
the Midland special, anticipating the
time Of the passenger, undertook to
''steal q station" and beat the passenger
into Newcastle. Burbank escaped un.
injured and upon orders from Coroner
Clark, has been placed under arrest by
the sheriff. Midland Engineer Ostran.
