AWFUL HAVOC.
A Colorado Train Wreck Results in
Terrible Disaster.
Thirty People Dead and Nearly 900 Injured
Many Passengers are Consumed by
Flames After the Wreck-Con-
ductor Under Arrest

NEWCASTLE, Col, Sept 1.-THE
worst wreck in the history of the state
of Colorado occurred at 1925 yester-
day morning on the joint track of the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado
Midland railways, IL miles west of
here. After 10 hours incessant work
by the wrecking crews in clearing
away the debris and rescuing the
bodies of those who persisted. it is yet
impossible to secure more than an es-
innate of the loss of life, and not even
those known to be dead have been
identified. Many of the 'lnfortunates
will never be known, and 1t is possible
that the number killed will always he
in doubt. From the best information
obtainabie now fully so persons are be-
ieved to have persisted, while 1S5 who
came out of the wreck alive are suffer
ing from serious in juries.
The wreck was caused by a head-end
collision between a Denver & Rio
Grande passenger train, running at the
rate of 40 miles an hour, and a special
Colorado Midland stock train, running
at speed of probably 80 miles an hour.
So terrific was the conclusion that
both engines, baggage and express
cars, smoker and day coaches and two
stock cars were totally demolished and
the track torn up for rods in each di-
rection. To add to the horror of the
scene, the wreckage at once caught
fire from an explosion of a Pintsch gas
tank the passenger train, and
burned so rapidly that many passen-
gers, 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 is that
Conductor Burbank, of the Midland
special, anticipating the time of the
passenger, undertook to ''steal sta
castle Burbank escaped unin jured,
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 engine fails to reveal any
vestige of his remains. It is thought
that when he saw the threatened dan
ger he jumped from his engine, and.
realizing his negligence, took to the
hills.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. II. 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 to literally hurl them out of bed.
| Some say the noise was heard and the
| shock felt in Newcastle. Charred
| fragments of limbs and bodies of a
number of persons have been taken
| out of the ruins, but it is not likely
| that any more bodies will be positively
| identifi and it seems certain that
| the number killed will remain in
doubt

DEATH LIST GROWING.
Three More Victims of the Santa Fe
Wreck, Making 5 in All.

Three More Victims of the Santa Fe
Wreck, Making Is in ALL
EMPoRIA, Kan. Sept. 11.-Three more
victims of Wednesday nights awful
Santa Fe disaster were found in the
debris by the wrecking crew yester-
day. The bodies are so badly mutilat-
ed that Identification has been impos-
sible. These, with the death of En-
gineer William Frisbee at Topeka,
make the total number killed in
the wreck is. Conductor Will
son, who is in charge of the
wrecking crew. expresses the be-
lief that several more bodies will be
found when the wreckage is cleared
away. One of the charred remains re-
covered is that of a woman. 1t was
found early in the afternoon. There
was not enough of the body to identify
except that it was woman, as shown
by the bust and corsets. A telegram
was received yesterday from Chicago,
signed Goodrow, asking if his wife
had escaped the wreck uninjured, and
it is thought the remains may be those
of the w oman inquired for.
