FATAL LAND SLIDE.
Ore Man Killed and One Man Injured
Above Salina.

Ore Man Killed and One Man Injured
Above salina.
A landslide on the Colorado & North
western railroad a short distance above
Salina yesterday morning. resulted ir
the death of H. E. Fisher and the seriou:
injury Of Jack Schimmer.
When the morning train from Sunse,
arrived at the point where the slide oc
cured last Saturday morning, it was
found that only small portion of the
debris remained on the track. A large
gang of workmen were engaged in re.
moving the rock and dirt. and when the
train slowed down, number of passen'
gers went down and assisted in the work.
While thus engaged. another mass of
rock, locsened by the continued storms
Of the last few days, became dis'odged
and with scarcely any warning came
tumbling down the hill. There was a
rush and scramble for places of safety.
Fisher was struck on the head with fly
ing rock and his death resulted almost
instantly. Schimmer was struck in the
back, sustaining serious injury to his
spine. Several others were more or less
hurt, but none seriously. Many had
narrow escapes. among which number
was the conductor of the train. He was
working with crowbar by Fishers's side
when the latter was killed. The two men
were placed on hand car and brought
to Boulder. Schimmer was taken to the
German house and medical aid was sum-
moned to examine and attend to his IN.
juries. The exact extent of the injury
can not be ascertained as it is believed
that internal injuries were inflicted.
The remains of Fisher were taken in
charge by Corner Trezise. They were
embalmcd and sent to Denver on the af-
ternoon train.
H. E. Fisher was a time keeper on the
Northwestern and had been employed BY
the company but short time. He was
about as years old, and had wife resid
ing in Denver. His brother, through
whose influence it is understood he Sc
cured the position IS the cashier of the
Western Union telegraph Office in Den
yer. Fisher had secured day of yes
terday and had transportation in hi.
pocket for Denver. where he was going
to spend the day with his wife, who is i'll
Jack Schimmer, the injured man. i.
we'll known as "Piccolo Jack" in Boulder
and had formerly been member of the
Knights of Pythias bani. He was famed
as one of the most skillful piccolo player.
in the country, but on account of dissipa
tion had allowed his abilities to rust. HI
was employed as laborer of the North
western at the point where the accident
occurred.
The accident was UNFORESEEN. and could
not be guarded against. consequently nc
one could be blamed under the circum'
stances.
