have died from other injuries, but as
1t was he was quickly scalded to
death by escaping steam. He lived
at Pueblo.
Fully 20 Of the passengers were in
jured, some Of them very seriously,
but none was killed outright. The
cars fell upon one another in such
manner as to break the force of the
fall into the narrow cnasm. There
was the widest confusion, but all
were finally extricated.
Upon investigation 1t was found
that every one of the spikes had been
removed from one Of the rails by I'M
known miscreants. This Is what caus.
ed the wreck. The fsnd or fiends had
evidently purposed to do wholesale
and wanton murder.
The bridge was inspected only a
week ago and was all right at that
time.
The engine in it's fall turned COM
pletely over. A wrecking train is now
at work. The loss will be heavy. as
several OF the cars were Pullmans.
