Twenty-six Killed in Railroad Wreck

Cotton, Cal.-One of the most dsas-
trous wrecks in the history of the
Southern Pacific occurred Thursday af-
ternoon ane and one-half miles east of
this town. when westbound train No. 3,
from New Orleans to San Francisco,
ran into an open switch while going at
the rate Of forty miles an hour, and
ten OF the fourteen coaches were de-
rallied with frightful results.
Twenty.six people are known to have
been killed and the final list will to-
tai much higher than this number. The
injured number about 100, many of
whom are seriously injured and will
die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled in
every direction. Four OF them were
smashed into splinters.
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 additional bodies
could be seen underneath one of the
overturned and demolished cars.
This car could not be raised until n
derrick was brought from Los Angeles.
sixty miles away.
The injured were brought 10 this city
In vehicles OF all sorts. and the Cotton
hospital was quickly filled TO its ca
pacity. Many were taken TO the Pres
byterlan church and TO private resi-
dences In the city.

Where the Routt Estate viii Go.

Denver.-The estate of Mrs. John L.
Routt, The wife of former Governor
Routt of Cole RADIO, who died last week,
will probably be divided between her
daughter and the children of Governor
Routt by former wife. The will
left by Mrs. Routt has not been pro-
bated and probably will not be during
the life time of the governor; who has
not been made acquainted with the
fact that his wife is dead.
According to those in position to
know. all the Routt property was in
Mrs. Routt's name, and her will, which
was drawn with Mr.. Routt's consent,
leaves half of her property to her
daughter, Mrs. Lila Routt Collins. and
the other half to her husband to re.
vert to the four children Of the first
Mrs. Routt, who are John II. Routt,
Frank Routt, Mrs. Emma Butler and
Mrs. w. II. Bryant This is the way
the property would be divided II Mrs.
Routt had died without making q
will.
The children of the former governor
are in comfortable circumstances, and
whether Mrs. Routt has left them a
portion of the fortune given her by her
husband is not of vital interest to
them.
II have paid little attention to the
matter" said Mrs. w. II. Bryant, who
is now living at the Metropole. "The
will of my step-mother has not been
opened, and until 1t is we will not
know how she has disposed of her for
tune. We feel that she has provided
for her own daughter and think that
1t would be natural and proper for her
to do SO. Outside of that we do not
know whether she has left anything
for us, and feel that whatever she has
done is light"
The vaiue of the estate will not ex-
ceed 100000.
