Cheyenne, wy, Dec. 20. The Union

standstill ais result of the recent
storm in Wyoming and Nebraska. All
trains on the Union Pacific are COM
PEELED to spend hours in snow drifts,
waiting for the rotary plows to make
openings SO they can pass through,
and, to make matters worse, a Union
Pacific rotary pillow pushed by two big
compound engines slashed its way to

sIeepers near Sherman. The wreck
age caught fire and a caboose and nine
tourist cars were completely destroyed.
The work of clearing the track lis

smoking and chair cars on the north
bound train were burned. None of the
cars on the southbound train was in
jured and none of the passengers hurt.
The killed are Fireman Gerber and

The cause of the accident was the
failure of the sputhbound train to wait
at a siding at Uplamds. Half mile
beyond the siding it crashed unto the
northbound train from Los Angeles
Just as the crash came both engine
crews jumped for their lives. All es-
capped except Fireman Gerber OF the
north bound engine. He was crushed
to death.
Both engines were completely
wrecked and the baggage car piled up
on the engine. The smoking car of the
northbound train, in which there were
half a dozen Italian laIborers, was also
smashed and four of the italians badly
bruised and scalded by escaping steam.

hurt.
