CLOTHING WAS SCARCE

Bowie Tex, August 10-Between forty and fifty passengers were injured, nona fatally, but several seriously. when the northbound passenger train of the Fort Worth and Denver City railroad was wrecked a few miles south of Fruitland Tex. late last night. The sleeper and chair car left the track and rolled down an emhankment and nearly all those aboard sustained injuries
 The wreck. 1t is believed, was caused by a defective track
 Excepting one passenger. a woman. everybody on the sleeper had retired though few were asleep. when the ac- eident occurred The cars began to rock and sway from side 10 side and then toppled over before anyone realized the danger. However. there was no panic.
 The principal occupants of the sleeper and chair cars were women and children, and the fact of there being no excite ment is most remarkable The greatest difficulty the women experienced was in finding sufficient clothing after the wreck.
 Attends Sufferers In Bare Feet.
 pr. Cornell of Hot Springs, a sleeper passenger. not taking time to dress did all possible to relieve the suffering. Where debris was impossible to his bare feet the brakeman assisted him across.
 Very soon after the wreck a relief train was sent from Bowie with surgeons, and soon all injured were given medical care at Bowie. Some of them have been sent to Forth Worth.
