sage to the crew Of q Denver and Rio

head-on collision with another passen.
ger train near Florence, Colo, early in
the morning. At least twenty-one
lives we're lost and twenty-three per-
sons were injured. Many OF the
corpses were consumed by the fire,
which swept the wreck, and 1t is
doubtful II a full list Of the casualties
will ever be known.
The wreck was accompanied by hor.
rors only slightly less than those Of
the Eden disaster. which occurred
Aug. Z. 1904, on the same line. The
flames followed the collision almost
Instantly and those who failed to
reach the doors or windows at once
were deprived of all chance for life.
Some were smothered by the first
burst of fire following the explosion
Of the gas tanks on the cars. but many
were caught by broken seats and TIM
bers and incinerated by inches.
The trains were the Utah-C California
express No. 3, westbound from Denver.
and the Colorado-New Mexico express
No. is eastbound from Leadville and
Grand Junction. They met on q
sharp curve and were less than 200
yards apart when the engineers dis
covered that collision was imminent.
Walter Coslett. engineer Of the west
bound train. used every possible
means to prevent the crash and went
