The wreck occurred at an abandoned
station known as Culbcrs Siding, Que
nile east Of Cascade. IN Ute pass. ahi
twelve miles from Colorado Spring..
a passenger rate war that has been 10
effect for seven months between the
railroads running from this city TO
Cripple Creek, had been called on, the
rates To so up july /. and AS "A result
the train was crowded To its utter
most.
The ears that lett the rails and went
over the cmbankmont north of the
track contained 3il passengers, aud II
was only by the most miraculous Is.
capes that could be imagined that the
death list was not enormous. The see
ond ear on the train, a day coach, was
crushed To kindilng wood, being tuin-
cd completely over ON It's end. So that
the rear end Of the coach w.li forward.
The third coach plung ii cicar through
the second. and II WAS In the forward
end of this ear that Mr.. English WAS
killed. HIS neck was caught between
two seats and he stranglcd before the
people could reach him. lie suffered
severe scalp wounds and n fracture oi
the Jaw also. and would doubtless have
died, even had he not been caught and
chokcd. lie was coming to ColorIib
Springs from Cas cadc Ia y ny the organ
at 81. stephens Episcopal churLn.
where he had been organist for several
years.
a relief train went to the scene from
this city at once and returned AT 1880,
bringing the dead and injured. The In
jurcd were taken to ~. Francis hos
pltal, where all are doing as well As
can be expected. The little Oltourke
girl IL expected to die at any time. and
Miss Estellc Lewis. "A dentist oi Cripple
Creek. In In "A very critical condition.
Dr. II. l.. Packard, OF Giilett. Col. who
uas cn route Ia this city. was the only
physician ON the train. lie had In
siru.ncnts with him and did most
heroic and efficient service before
physicians and relief supplies could be-
ished to the scene from this city. The
location oi the wreck was such that
there Is no delay to traffic. The track
IL torn up for fully 100 yards. but II is
on old siding and the sidctrack was
rot blocked. This facilitates the work
ol clearing the wreck. Engineer j. B
stephen and Conductor lien Beynon
were In charge Of the train.
