A FRIGRTFUL WRECK
FIFTEEN PERSONS KILLED OUTRIGHT.
Twenty. Eight Others More " Less Injured
All the Victims 10 the Cosches Be-
hind the Express and Baggage
Cars Cromated.

San Antonio, Tex, March S.-A
broken rail caused frightful wreck
on the Southern Pacific railroad near
Maxon station, rs miles west of
Sanderson, at three o'clock yester-
day morning. From the latest ac-
counts received here Is persons were
killed outright and 20 were more or
less injured. The Inflated train left
San Antonio at noon Thursday 2h
hours late, and at the time the acct
dent occurred was running at q high
rate Of speed in order to make up
time. The road at the point where
the wreck occurred Is in q rough
country, the curves being sharp and
the grades heavy. II was when
rounding q curve that the train left
the track, it is said, on account of a
broken rail. The hour was three a.
m, Is hours after the train had left
San Antonio, showing that 1t was still
behind time. All the passengers
were asleep and the shock that fol-
lowed was the first intimation they
had Of the danger. The train was
going at such rate of speed that
the tender and engine landed rs feet
from where they left the rails. The
cars behind piled up against the
engine. caught fire and all were con-
sumed except the sleepers. All the
injured in the coaches just behind
the express and baggage cars were
cremated. The people in the sleep
ers we're saved with the assistance
of the uninjured passengers.
The wrecked train was the Gal
weston, Harrisburg g. San Antonio
westbound passenger No. 0 and con-
sisted of an engine, mail car, bag
gage car, one coach, one chair car,
three tourist sleepers, one Pullman
sleeper and one private car. The mail
car the baggage car and coaches
were piled together against the en-
CINE and were ablaze in few sec
onds. 1t was impossible to move any
of the coaches or the tourist cars,
as they were all off the rails and
were soon consumed by the flames.
So soon as it was possible to get
in communication with the division
headquarters relief trains with sur
geons and physicians were started
from FL Paso, Del Rio and Sander
son, 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 Fl Pnso, where they are receiving
careful attention,
W. G. VanVIeck, general manager
of the Galveston. Harrisburg d San
Antonio railroad, was at San An
tonic and left at once on a special
train for the scene Of the wreck.
