WRECK ON THE SANTA FE.
Seven Trainmen Killed and Seventeen
Others Injured.

OtherS injured.
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 21.-A fatal
wreck occurred on the Santa Fe rail.
road one mile west of Franconcia, A.
T., a switch station 20 miles east of
Needles, CAL, during the morning.
Seven trainmen were killed and three
passengers and fourteen trainmen were
injured. Limited trains, east and
westbound, Numbers 4 and re.
spectively, crashed together while
running at full speed. Train No. 4
was drawn by two engines, while the
westbound train had but one locomo-
tive. The three engines were crushed
and blown to pieces by an explosion
which followed the collision.
Both the trains were made up of
vestibule cars of the heaviest and
most improved pattern and while they
stood the terrific shock well and pro-
tected the passengers to a great ex-
tent several of the cars toof fire at
once and burned up. The dining cars,
one on each train, one Pullman and
two composite cars, were destroyed.
The dead are: P. M. Elligott, engi-
neer train No. 4; P. B. Goldsmith, fire.
man, train No. 8; F. NJ. Barnhardt,
Uo1 UO1y IL Gill NV. w c11ICI IdNOl dSC,
waiter, train No. 8 w. L. Case, fire.
man, train No. 4; H. A. Armitage, fire
man, train No. 4; Sam Brown, waiter,
train No. 8. The bodies of the latter
three are missing and are probably
burned.
Did Not Obey Orders.
The collision is said to have been
due to disregarding of orders on the
part of the crew of the westbound linn
tied, though full particulars on this
point are as yet lacking. From all ac-
counts, however, 1t is gathered That
the eastbound train had orders to
take the siding at Franconcia and
await the passing of the westbound
flyer, which was running two hours
late and trying to make up time. The
eastbound train failed to reach the
siding, and, as the westbound train
did not wait, the two trains came to
.gether without warning and with an
awful crash.
From the meager details of the
scenes gathered from the passengers
It Is learned that the sleeping cars,
with one or two exceptions, suffered
slightly, and as a result the passen-
gers were afforded comparative i'm
munity from injury, the terrible re-
suits of the wreck being confined al
most entirely to the train crews and
the employees Of the dining car serv-
ice.
AS soon as news of the wreck was
received at Needles, which is the divi-
sion headquarters of the west end,
wreck train was made up and, at
tended by a number of physicians
from that point, was hurried to the
scene. AS quickly as possible the in
jured were placed aboard and started
west for Los Angeles.

MOST DISASTROUS FIRE
FEARED A HUNDRED LIVES ARE
LOST IN A MINE AT TELLU-
RIDE, COLO.
TWENTY-FIVE BODIES FOUND

the Tunnel, Which Acts as a Flue
and Fills the Workings With Deadly
Gas-Two Hundred Men at Work at
the Time and About Half of Them
Make Their Escape.
Telluride, Colo, Nov. 21.-What is
likely to prove the most disastrous
accident that has ever occurred in a
metallic mine in Colorado resulted
from fire which burned the buildings
at the mouth of the Bullion tunnel
through which the Smuggler- Union
mine is worked, and which filled the
mine with deadly gas and smoke. 1t
is impossible to give even an approx
mate estimate of the loss of life, but
1t is believed it will reach nearly If
not quite 100. Twenty-Five are known
to have persisted, their bodies having
been recovered.
The fire started from a defective
flue in the bunk house at the mouth
of the tunnel. It quickly communi
Gated with the other buildings. The
dense smoke from the burning con
| verter house, which was saturated
with oil, began pouring into the tun
| mel, which, with the shafts Of the
| mine, acted as chimney.
The day shift of 200 men had just
gone on duty and before they could
be warned of their danger the levels
| and the slopes were filed with gas
| AS soon as the men became aware OF
their danger efforts were made tC
| reach the surface through various eX
| its and about half of those in the mine
escaped. 1t will be impossible to as
| certain the number still in the mine
! for several hours on account of gas in
some of the levels.
The Smuggler-Unio mine is one Of
| the oldest mines in the district and
has several abandoned openings, some
| of which were available. Most Of
| those who escaped did SO through the
| old Union workings and the old Sheri
dan tunnel.
| A rescuing party cut a connection
| through from the Commission work
| ings adjoining and took out part oil
| the men. Although the buildings were
partly consumed the dense smoke con
| tinued to pour into the tunnel and i
| was not until p. m. that it occurred
| to the management to shut off the
| draft by blasting rock into the tunnel
It is believed by mining men that had
this been done as soon as the fire
| started all loss of life might have
| been avoided.
The property loss is about $4,000
| fully covered by insurance.
