 wrecking Crew Works.
 A force of one hundred and fifty men toiled all day long at the scene of the | wreck. Before two o'clock Sunday l morning the track was clear for | through trains, but 1t required many
 hours to clear the debris. Engineers Parrott and Kane were found beneath their engines, but their bodies were not
 crushed badly
 Small fragments of bodies were found
 in many instances today but it Is
 thought that they belong to bodies aI-
 ready found and brought to this city, One little baby was found by the wreck | CTS but that was all. The cause of the
 terrible loss of life in the heavy east
 bound train was explained today. | It seems that the second coach | ploughed it's way into bank in such a manner that the other cars were jam
 med into 1t and pushed on by the
 weight of the heavy Pullmans, was
 crushed like egg shells.
 | Physicians at the hospital state to-
 night that of the long list of wounded l they have in their care it is probable
 that not more than four will die. The
 complete list of injured as given out by
 the railroad officials shows total of
 one hundred and sixty-two, but this in- cludes all persons who were only 1 slightly hurt or scratched.
