rear of the train and those members
of the train crew who were unhurt.
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 two tourist sleepers
of the westbound train aided the
trainmen in pushing back the sleep
ers from the burning wreck and these
cars were not damaged in the least.
The 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 smoldering
ruins, and the survivors turned their
attention to the injured.
Relief Train Dispatched.
Communication was opened with
the Pueblo officers Of the railroad
from Portland. and a relief train was
dispatched with physicians for the
scene of the wreck With the arriv-
al of the relief train the injured We're
placed i'm the sleepers and started
back to Pueblo.
Another relief train came from
Florence, the engine was coupled 10
the seepers of No. Is and as many
of the bodies of the dead as could he
removed from the wreckage at that
time were, placed aboard. This done,
the searchers began picking up bones,
pieces of burned clothing and the per-
sonal property of the victims of the
disaster until several boxes had been
filled. These remains were subse-
quently brought to Pueblo 1t is re-
liably reported that but one body l.
sufficiently intact to make recognition
possible, all the others having been
burned to ashes or incinerated
1t is announced that the track will
he entirely clear and trains running
by tomorrow noon.
Sleepers Remain on Rails.
A peculiar feature of the wreck
was the fact that none of the sleepers
left the rails and the cars and engines
which were burned were standing or
| the ties If not on the track. The mo-
netary damage to railroad property is
estimated at 100000.
| In addition to this all the baggage
| on No. 16 was destroyed as well as
/ the mail One of the pathetic trag
edes OF the disaster was the wipina
