life without making any attempt to reach safety outside the burning cars. Paralyzed with fear, and with prayers upon their lips, they sank to the floor of the car and were roasted alive. The cooler ones in the car were rescued by passengers in the rear coaches of the train and those members of the train crew who were unhurt.
 THE WORK OF RELIEF.
 Although many were willing to un- dertake the risk. efforts to rescue those who remained in the burning cars would have been suicidal as the heat was intense. Occupants Of the two standard and the two tourist sIeepers of the westbound train aided the train men in pushing back the sleepers from the burning wreck, and these cars were not damaged in the least. Sleepers on the eastbound train were also pushed out of the reach of the leaping flames. . The wrecked cars were reduced to a mass of smolderng ruins. and the sur vivors turned their attention to the in- jured. Communication was opened with the Pueblo officers of the railroad from Portland. and a relief train was i despatched with physicians for the ! scene of the wreck. With the arrival 1 of the relief train, the injured were 1 placed in the sleepers and started back to Pueblo. COLLECTING THE ASHES. l Another relief train came from Flor ] ence, and the engine was coupled to l the sleepers of No. 16. and as many of ! the bodies of the dead as could be re- moved from the wreck at that time ] placed aboard. This done the search I CTS began picking up bones. pieces of l burned clothing and personal property O victims of he q fsa stav. 1r-7f ffI eay- i eral boxes had been filled. These re- ] mains were subsequently brought to Pueblo. It is reliably reported that but one body is sufficiently intact to make recognition possible, all the others hay ing been burned to ashes or inciner- ateI.
 It is announced that the track will be entirely clear and trains running by tomorrow noon A peculiar feature of the ~reck rr"s tl-e feet that none of the sIeepers left the rails and the cars and engines which Were burned were standing o2 the tles if not on the track. The monetary damage to tho railroad property is estimated at 22nO. 900. In addition to this all the baggage on No. Is was destroyed, as well as the mail One of the pathetic tragedies of the disaster was the wiuilg out of all but two of the family of Taylor Hewitt of Lebo, Kansas. Father. mother. daugE- ter, erandchud and the wives of the sons are missing. The two sons are among the injured in the hospital here.
