lars of the accident which cost this
beloved young Laramieite his life and
filed three homes with the heaviness
of almost unbearable sadness:
Fire Caused by Alcohol Stove.
In order to feed her baby. a woman
occupying a Pullman berth on the Los
Angeles Limited lighted an alcohol
stove, which set fire to the car and
burned to death one passenger, Louis
DeLario, clerk in the house of repre-
sentatives at Washington and private
secretary to Congressman Mondell of
Wyoming. The other passengers es-
capped, but lost all their effects.
List of the Injured.
The injured are o. H. johnson of
Salt Lake City, slight burns on neck
and head; Henry c. A. Brow, Salt
Lake City, right wrist cut by glass;
Mrs. b. Higgins, ~Carbondale, Pa, suf-
fered from exposure. Together with
the other passengers, they were placed
on another car and sent forward on
their journey.
Train Going Like a WhirIwind.
The Los Angeles Limited was turned
over to the Northwestern by the Union
Pacific at Omaha five hours late. and
left Council Bluffs at 3 o'clock in the
morning. An effort was being made
to make up the lost time and the train
was going like a whirlwind. Half an
hour after starting, Conductor Hamlin
started into the forward sleeper and
was driven back by a burst of flames
and smoke. The passengers in their
berths were awakened about the same
time and began a scramble for the
doors, leaving their clothing in the car
and clad in their night robes. The
passengers, of whom there were four
teen. were temporarily placed in the
aisles of the other sleepers, while the
train was cut in two ard the burning
section run to the station at Missouri
Valley as fast as possible.
Pullman Burned to the Floor.
The fire was confined to the one
Pullman, which was burned to the
floor. A search revealed the body of
Mr.. DeLario on the floor beside his
berth. After daylight the passengers
from the burned car were supplied
with makeshift clothing by other pas
%sengers. and those having trunks
with them were only slightly incon-
venienced. The burning Pullman was
found to be on fire both outside and
inside.

midnight. He had a berth in a Pull

Across the aisle from him was Mrs.

the unfortunate man, and it was found
by examination of the ticket office
stubs that the number correspondent
with that sold to Mr.. DeLario. There
could be no doubt, and then attention
