outnumbered by loose coats, they make
such an impression for jauntinesS that

coats is their shortness. Some of them

blue, appear in so many gowns OF high
grade that it is impossible to single out

FRIGHTFUL COLORADO TRAIN WRECK
Missouri and Pacific Flyer Crashes through Bridge Over Creek
the Denver and Rio Grande Railway.

Pueblo. Colo, August Up to
6 O'Clock this morning the estimated
number of people killed in the wreck
of the Missouri Pacific Flyer on the
Denver and Rio Grande railway last
J night was about one hundred. OF
the l25 passengers on the tram it is
believed that only seventeen were
saved from death.
| The catastrophe is probably the
most appalling that has happened in
the history of railroading in Colo
| rado. The coaches were filled with
men, women and children returning
| to their homes in the southern and
eastern states after portion of the
summer spent in the mountain re-
sorts of this state.
One Of the survivors says the af-
fair was awful in its suddenness
and ensity. The passengers were
totally oblivious Of any impending
evil when the crash came. The en-
giue, tender, baggage, mail car and
three passenger coaches went down
with a crash that sounded like the
explosion Of blast Of dynamite.
| The last passenger car, containing
| the seventeen survivors, was the
only one that remained on the rails
the coupling being cut as clean as II
done by some gigantic machine.
The arroya, or dry creek, in TO
which the Inflated train crashed
had become o raging torrent from
recent mountain rains.
/ From the horrible darkness thirty
or forty feet below came up to the
appalled, aud terrified survivors on
the shaking bridge the most piteous
cries FOR help, mingled with the hiss
of escaping steam aud the crashing
OF the glass and framework Of the
cars.
Sounds Of struggling, prayers, en-
treaties aud curses of many of the
maddened and imprisoned victims
made the scene iudescribable.
| The survivors could see by the
light of the moon strong men who
had extric afed themselves by al
most superhuman efforts from the
