The derailment Of the train was
caused by the crew of a switch en-
Rne leaving a switch open at THO
POINT 1t is said that the engine passed
through the switch a few minutes be-
fore the Overland appeared. A switch
man named Morrison was in the yard.
After the switch engine had passed On
TO another track the engineer asked
the fireman if he had re-thrown the
switch. The fireman recalled that ne
had neglected to do so, and the engin-
eer whistled frantically for Morrison
10 close it. The signal was not given
In time, as Morrison did not reach the
ewitch before the Overland had plunged
through and been derailed.
The broken wreckage of the day
coaches and smoker, filled with the
bodies of the dead and injured, were
hurled everywhere. Helpless passen-
gers, imprisoned in the wrecked, called
frantically for help. By miracle the
train was not set on fire. The Ital-
ians in the day coach and smoker met
a horrible fate Wholly without warn
ing the impact came, and the three
forward cars were completely tele-
scoped and hurled to one side. The
helpless passengers were terribly torn
and cut to pieces. Many We're dis

tains 5000 in Coin and beiio'os
There Is More.
Nashville. Ind, March 20. - Wilbur
Walter. near Little Blue, while plow-
ing in a field, unearthed a box which
contained 5000 in gold. The money
had been concealed by bis father
many years ago, and Wilbur had
looked the farm over in an effort 10
find the hiding place, and had dug at
the roots of numerous trees. The tree,
however, under which the box was
concealed, had been cut down, and in
time the stump rotted and was brox-
en- up.
In this way the treasure was uncov-
cred. The coins are In tens and twen-
ties. Walter thinks there is still more
money concealed on the farm, and he
will continue his search. His father
was an economical man, and just be-
fore death he sold forty acres for $50
an acre, with horses and cattle, the
latter bringing $500. All this money Is
supposed to be still hidden on the
farm.

Pacific 10 a Terrible
Destruction.
TWENTY-sIx SENT TO ETERNITY
That Number Is Certain and Likely
To Be Increased.
Wounded Will Number 100. and Sew

Most of the Victims
Italians.

Cotton, Cal, March pa disastrous
wreck on the Southern Pacific oc-
Cured one and one-half miles east Of
this town shortly after p. H., when
NEWEST bound train from New Orleans
for San Francisco ran into an open
switch while going at the rate Of for
ty miles an hour, and ten of the four
teen coaches were derailed with fright
full results. Twenty-six persons are
known to have been killed, and the
final list will total much higher than
this number. The injured number
about 100, many Of whom are serious
" injured and will die. The wrecked
coaches were hurled in every direction.
Four of them were smashed into
splinters.
Most of the Dead Are Italians.
Most OF the dead were Italians from
New York and New Orleans going to
San Francisco. They occupied the
smoker and day coach. The dead were
terribly MANNED and mangled. Eighteen
OF them were taken to an undertaking
establishment at Cotton and eight ad-
ditional bodies could be seen under
meath one of theoverturned and dem0l-
ished cars. This car could not be
laised until a derrick was brought
from Los Angeles, sixty miles away.
The injured were carried to this city
in vehicles of all sort and the Coi-
ton hospital was quickly filed to its
capacity.
Only Two Citizens Killed.
But two citizens are known to have
been killed, although several of those
among the injured will undoubtedly
die. George L. Sharpe, of Muncie, Ind,
was instantly killed. The baggage
man of the train, whose name had not
teen ascertained was also killed. En-.
Gineer Clarence e. Wormington anil
Fireman Victor Crebb both jumped
but failed to get clear, and were
caught in the wreckage. They were
| both terribly burned and scalded. John
| Golden, the train conductor, was in
tie Pullman section of the train and
escaped injury.
Theatrical People Are in Luck.
Out of about eighty Pullman pas
sengers there were but two who sus
tained serious injury. The three Pull
man coaches and the diner, which
were on the rear of the train, did not
leave the track. The occupants of these
cars were practically unframed. The
Florence Roberts Theatrical company
occupied one coach. which was hurled
from the track and both ends of il
crushed in by impact against the 9th
ers. But two members of Miss Rob
erts' company out Of a total of twenty
two people were injured. Miss Rob
erts herself escaped entirely unhurt
The escape from death Of the occu
PANTS of this car was remarkable.
