recently adopted in the territory west

The Inflated train left San Antonio
at noon Thursday, 21s hours late, and
at the time the accident occurred was
running at a high rate Of speed in or
der to make up time. The road at the
point where the wreck occurred is in a
rough country, the curves being sharp
and the grades heavy. It was WREN

broken rail. The hour was three a. M,

asleep and the shock that followed
was the first intimation they had Of
the danger.

The train was going at such rate of
speed that the tender and engine land
ed IS feet from where they left the
rails. The cars behind piled up against
the engine, caught fire and all were
consumed except the sleepers. All
the injured in the coaches just behind
the express and baggage cars were Gre
mated. The people in the sleepers
were saved with the assistance of the
uninjured passengers.
The wrecked train was the Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio west
bound passenger No. 9, and consisted
of an engine, mail car, baggage car,
one coach, one chair car, three tourist
sleepers, one Pullman sleeper and one
private car. The mail car, the bag

gether- against the engine and were
ablaze in few seconds. It was impos-
sible to move any of the coaches or the
tourist cars, as they were all off the
rails. and they were consumed by the
flames.
So soon as it was possible to get in
communication with the division head
quarters a relief train with surgeons
and physicians were started from Ell
Paso, Del Rio, and Sanderson, picking
up along the line all the surgeons that
could be found. All of the injured
who were in a condition to be moved
were sent to Ell Paso, where they are
