came a jar. heard crash and splln-
tering wood. 1 braced myself IN my
seat and thought that my last hour had
come It was only for moment that
/ sat, for with others, 1 was on my
feet making my way out. The engine
had turned over, the diner had shot Off
at the left and the baggage car was
completely telescoped with the dining
car.
"The diner took fire almost instantly
and the rush of steam made an awful
trap for those eating there. If 1 were
to describe the scenes there it would
turn you sick with horror. Flesh peeled
in sheets from hands and faces and
death fought with us for his victims.
All this time-but it was more than
few minutes-the fire was spreading
and we knew we must check 1t. A
water tank was on the switch for
tunately, and we formed a bucket
brigade and succeeded in putting the
fire out. After we had rescued all we
could-and the number was pitifully
small-we went to the other side and
found the Pullman had gone over the
forced our way over the ruins and Mrs.
Grummond of Binghamton was pinned
down and screaming for aid.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cutler were lying on
her and they were dead. We talked
with Mrs. Grummond and assured her
that we would take her out. I never
saw a braver or pluckier little woman.
For two hours we worked there and her |
voice always cheered us on.
1.-THE car was loaded and we had to !
take crowbars and dig our way through |
trunks, pulling the clothing out to get |
the trunks loose, so fast were they |
packed. All the time we feared fire,
for the peril was great but at last we
reached the woman and took her out.
Her ankle was broken.
1.-The relief train came and we loaded |
the wounded on it and sent them to |
San Luis Obispo, and 1 hear that ten |
died on the way. Death came to many |
in the diner. We brought twenty-one
bodies back to Santa Barbara last |
night and distributed them among the |
three undertaking parlors here. Many |
Of the injured will go through life badly |

SANTA BARBARA, May 13.-Dr. G.
L. Brown, a prominent physician and
surgeon of Buffalo, N. Y. and men,
ber of Ismalia temple, tells pitiul
story of the wreck.
"I was sitting in the drawing room
of our Pullman, the third car from
the engine" he said, "when the
crash came. Our car plunged right
through the dining car, crushing the
lives out of the many people eating at
the time. After the crash 1 turned my
attention to the seriously injured, and
the most pathetic thing that 1 have
ever witnessed occurred when the res
cuers brought out Mrs. John w. Cut
ler of Binghamton, N. Y, from the
ruins, with her face crushed and
bleeding terribly Her first question
was 'Oh, where is my dear husband?
"A few moments later her dying hus-
band was pulled out from under one Of
the cars and laid alongside his wife.
"Is my wife dead?' he asked
through terribly scalded lips, and fell
back moaning. His wife recognized
his means and called for him, and he
got up on his hands and knees and
crawled over to where she was lying.
The poor woman did all she could to
rise, but was so badly hurt that she
was unable to do so. The loving hus-
band then embraced her and kissed
her good by.
Both are among the dead"

one hand and then Mr.. Cutler Wouio
hold up his hand with Mrs. Cutler
fast clasped in 1t.
"They call us the spooners at nome,
Mr.. Cutler used to say, but we nave
grown accustomed to it and do mol
mind it."
Make Fatal Trip
"yvith them was Mrs. Fred Grun-
mond a wealthy widow of Bingham
ton. They were great friends. 1t was
John and Martha and Emma, all tne
time. Poor John, Martha and MRS.
Grummond went with the Cutters TO
the baggage car to get fresh snlrt
waists that the two women wanted.
You see. Mrs. Cutler was very dressy
and she could not stand a ru1npleu
collar or cuff. Mrs. Grummond got
what she needed and turned to the
door saying, We'll, have had enough
of this when she was hurled down,
and T suppose that only the slight
change of position saved her from the
horrible death that came that instant
to her friends.
Our boys formed patrol, and they
were the ones who dug though that
awful ruin for Mrs. Grummond. How
they did work. When they reached
her and took her out / knelt at her
side and wiped the dust and blood
from her face. She was as courageous
and cool headed as she had been at
any time on the trip, and I hope that
she will be able to be taken home be-
fore long"
Mrs Willeyer of Jersey City was
another woman who escaped injury
in the wreck, and she was resting IN
her berth at the time of the crash.
"It was an accident that 1 shall never
forget and hope that no other human
being may ever have to go through 1t,
said Mrs. Willever today. Il know
very little of what happened. was
in the sleeper and did not get more
than a passing shock, although was
thrown on the floor. With the others
aided the suffering as best 1 could"
Two Women Escape Death
Two of the passengers on the fated
train were Mrs. Davy and her sister-in-
law, Miss Clara M. Dacy of Niagara
Falls, N. Y. At the time of the ac-
cident they were in the dressing '0m
and Mrs. Davy was arranging her hair
while Miss Davy washed her hands.
II never saw water get out of al basin
in such a quick way" said the young
woman, laughing. 1T rose in shower
and 1 forgot that a towel followed
water for 1 was outside that car try
ing to help those who were injured. 1t
makes me i'll. l cannot talk about it,
she continued, tears flooding her blue
eyes and falling on her cheeks.
We were SO glad that we were not
to leave until morning for 1t wonlG he
dreadful to go over that spot in the
dark There is movement among the
men to take us to the warship or any
place where we can forget. 1t will not
be a passing sorrow, though, for it

ner and looks from the eyes of those
of our friends who are bereaved and
who will bear with them tomorrow the
bodies of those who did not come out

PASTOR TELLS OF
WRECK IN SERMON
AT SANTA BARBARA
BY Associated Press.

SANTA BARBARA, May 13.-Two or
three hundred grief stricken Shriners,
survivors of the wreck horror of Honda
Saturday, are preparing to leave on the
long funeral train on which the bodies
of the thirty victims will be taken
home. Many of those who are classed
among the uninjured are limping from
bruises and sprains. Women are un-
der the constant attention of physi-
clans, who fear the effects of the hys-
terra into which the horror of the dis
aster plunged them.
G. M. Tyson, who collapsed after res
cuing many bodies from the boiling
water pouring out of the shattered
kitchen ranges, still is i'll, but will be
able to travel howeward when his Buff
falo friends leave tonight. Mrs. A. D.
Wasson of Buffalo and Henry ]. Fisher
of Cleveland, who are here suffering
from painful injuries, apparently are
unable yet to emerge from the daze
which followed the first realization of
their losses in the wreck. Mrs. WaSson
had just left her husband in the diner
when the train hit the broken switch.
He was crushed and literally cooked to
death, leaving his wife widow with a
3-year-old baby, who laughs and crows
about the hotel here, none the worse
for the experience it went through with
its mother.
Both Lose Lives
Fisher lost his wife and step-daugh-
ter in the baggage car. They insisted on
going to their trunk to get some toilet
articles, although Mr.. Fisher was re-
luctant to leave their compartment in
the Pullman. "They were doomed by
their own act" he walls pitifully at
intervals, land was there and couldn't
die too" All the flags in the city are
half-masted and the twenty-one bodies
which were brought here are being
embalmed for the long journey east.
Rev. ]. Forbes Robinson, the Buffalo
pastor, who was in the wreck, preached
a memorial sermon at the Presbyterian
church here. He told of the horrors of
the disaster and then, in unison with
the congregation, made up of prac-
tically everybody in the city, prayed
for the dead.
In his sermon he told of the wreck.
"About ten minutes to one our train
started out loaded with members of
Ismailia temple of Buffalo and Rajah
temple of Reading, Pa. We were all
hungry, for we had given our entire
time In Santa Barbara to sightseeing,
and so we thronged the dining car.

the past two years Nevada has had
a great advantage over California be
cause of the fact that the mining laws
of this state were more congenia, to
both the %prospector and investor.
The mining laws of California have
been fenced in so completely that
while there is a vast amount of prom

in the borders of that state, mining
men have preferred to come over the
line into Nevada where thelaws &C
cord them better treatment.
Notwithstanding the wonderful
mining activities in the mining indus
try in this state during the past few
years, it is the opinion of mining men
that the state has not yet hegun to
be developed. Would it be the best
policy for the legislature or this state
to commence the enactment of such
stringent laws as would discourage
the prospactor and investor in any de-

Tt is an understood fact that mining
is the paramount industry of the state
Of Nevada, and every encouragement
should be given capitalists and pros
pectors to spend their time ard cash
in the development of the industry.
The laws of Nevada have been most
satisfactory to miners and tais ha1
been demonstrated by the great n n
ing revival during the last few years
Would any change in the local mining
laws prove a benefit to the state at
the present time9 Under the present
laws the discoverer of any new ds-
trict has the right to locate as many
claims on the lead as he pleases, and
there has been some dissension in this
regard by men who have arrived on
the ground too late to locate the
property they desired. 1t does rot
appear to the average person that this
IS an injustice. Hundreds OF prospect
ors are continually enduring the
greatest of privation in the hills AID
deserts of this state hunting for the
precious metal that is to make them
rich, and of course the number who
eventually realize their dream is COM
paratively small.
