DEATH LIST
CROWS TO FIVE

LEAVENWORTH, Wash, April H.
The deaths of Fireman John Wilson and
Engineer John Croak yesterday bring the
total death loss in Tuesday nights Great
Northern wreck to five. The other in
jured are all out Of danger
These two men were literally cooked TO
death. When Drs. Mccoy and Hoxey
made their post mortem examination it
was found that Wilson's hip bone had
been fractured in at least so places, re-
ducng it to one mass of bone splinters,
and both Of his legs were badly broken,
Engineer Croak could not possibly have
survived the shock.
Several narrow escapes occurred, but the
strangest was the experience Of a boy who
was riding between the baggage and mail
cars, both of which went down the bank.
When this occurred he stepped from be-
tween the two cars on to the bank and
for several hours was dazed with surprise.
Engineer Croak had his l2-year-old boy
with him, but ON leaving Leavenworth had
consigned him to the care of the mail
clerks. who put him to sleep on a pile Of
sacks In the smash-up the lad was thrown
to the bottom of the car and the mail
sacks went on top Of him. This protected
him from the steam which scaded his
father to death.
