ately the wreck did not take fire, else he would probably have perished be fore he could have been rescued. The escaping steam burned him severely in places, notably on the hip. There is also a bad cut on his forehead. but not a dangerous wound. and while he is badly bruised up and no doubt jared some \internaHy as well as externally from his friShtful fall and it's sudden ending, Dr. Jones of Tempe who gave him early attention, announced last night that so far as he could then de- teIninc he thought his patient would make complete and early recovery.
 The Indian was found in the river bed in a dying condition and was at once taken to Tempe, but he only lived a short time. He was presumably on top of the box cars, as the Indians are frequently carried over the road this way, free, at their own risk.
 The cattle on the fll-fated train were in transit to Douglas and were dairy COWS. Three CT four of them were killed and the rest were released from the wreck, so it was hard to determine in just what condition they were in in the darkness Of the night. One old CON lay dowa peacefully beside the wreck and seemed to be calmly waiting fer further orders.
 Tba actions O. Conductor sam Harris were loudly praised by all who wit messed thc exciting events of the night He is an experienced railroad man and knew what to do in an emergency. Af- ter learning that no passengers were hurt and doing all that could be done for the injured he coolly set to worS to attend to railroad business. The wires were down from Phoenix and there was TO time to wait tor orders He dispatched messengers to Superin- tendCnt Porter and other officials and then wired to Mesa City for the Mesa train to cone down and take his pas scngcrs to AIaricopa. In the quickest possible time the passengers were un- loaded by way Of the rear of the train and walked back on the bridge to this side, where they were placed in wag ons and taken across the river to the Tempe depot and not long after were On their way to Maricopa. still pale and nervous, but glad to put distance between them and the frightful scene of their agitation. To those not famil- far with the ordinary scene at the bridge it is well to explain that the water in the river. which is about two and a half feet deep, is confined to q channel that passes under the first fone Of two spans Of the bridge from this, the north side of the river. The wreck being through the fifth span. the train was some distance beyond the water, in fact half its length, and below is a practically level bed of sand, with few small boulders.
 The mail failed to go on to Maricopa, fer the reason that in properly trans fcrTing his passengers. Mir. Harris had not sufficient time to attend to it per- sonally, and after the passengers were looked after there was no time to get the mail except by making both mail and passengers miss connection at Maricopa. As soon as the passe gers were off his hands Mr. Harris set him self about repairing the telegraph wires, for all lines were down and com munication was the thing most desired at that time. He had a good crew of willing workers at his command, but the task no doubt kept them employed til daylight
 Among the passengers going out on last nights train were many well known in Phoenix and having friends iitI N. IOGEil IL " do btlNttI o dAl4u J o'clock when the news reached here it was two hours later before it was gen erally carried to the ears Of those who it was thought might be interested by having friends on board and as no Eews of results had been circulated it was naturally concluded that there had been great loss Of life. I.l consequence there arose an immediate demand for hCrses and buggles and wheels, and from 10 30 till the early hours of morn ing there was general exodus toward the bridge. Those who started. though learning from returning visitors that their friends were safe, continued their journey to satisfy their curiosity.
 One lady was just in the act of re- tiring in the end oi the sleeper next to the engine when the car was brought to a standstill with h7E end of it sticking out into space. Though she was badly frightened she did not lose her head. and remarket: I'm not going to lose any time getting out of here" It may be said that she spoke for the whole car.
