CREW WERE NEGLIGENT
Responsibility for Wreck on Lagoon
Road Rests on the Conductor
And Brakeman.

The responsibility for the wreck on
the Lagoon railroad, Friday night,
which resulted in the death OF George
Sanders, the engineer who stuck to his
post in the face of certain death. has
been fixed by a commission appointed
to investigate the matter. The findings
OF the commission, which was com
posed of Alfred d Person, superin-
tendent of the Lagoon road. and VIII
lam j. Barrette, an attorney of the
firm of Henderson, Pierce, Critchlow g.
Barrette, were made public yesterday
afternoon, and were to the effect that
William McGroarty, conductor, and
Fred Morford. brakeman of the work
train which preceded the passenger
train into Salt Lake Immediately prior
to the accident were responsible for
the same, i'm that they failed to ride
the dump car which broke away from
the train and dashed into the engine of
the train which was following. They
were also found negligent In not having
placed a light on the rear car. while
there was one on the car Immediately
preceding Il on the work train, neither
did they ride the car to give the alarm
when 1t broke loose and run back TO
flag Sanders train.
Upon the finding OF the commission
McGroarty and Morford were dis
charged from service on the road. This
means that IL viii be difficult for either
man TO secure employment on any rail-
road in the west. At the request of
the family OF the dead engineer, no
criminal prosecutions will be made.
The circumstances surrounding the
tragic ending OF Mr Sanders were Pc
culiarly pathetic, as he leaves widow
and "A large family of children. His
insurance policy in the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers was allowed to
lapse only a short time ago. and his
was a member of a fraternal order in
which he had policy, but which late
ly collapsed. The KIND offices and SYM
pathy OF friends and relatives are do
ing much to alleviate the sorrows OF tho
stricken widow, but her case is indeed
more than usually sad.

PLANT FROM OGDEN.


Ogden, Aug 4.--On account of the
numerous complaints that have been
made against the Ogden general hos
pital, a private institution in this city.
II is reported that the patronage of the
railroads which the place has received
for number of years will be with
drawn and sent to the I.atter-day
Saints hospital in Salt Lake City
This action, which will probably DO
ordered within the next few days. Ia
the result OF numerous complaints
that have been made against the In
stitutlon by railroad men who have
either been treated or had friends there
MUST HAVE THE MONEY.
Among other charges against the
hospital is that the first question ask
ed a patient who Is brought here,
not the usual questions propounded to
patient but Is, Have you got the
money to pay for IT." The records In
the district court in tile Beers case
show that when DR.. Beers was taken
to the hospital in an almost dying con-
dition he was not admitted until the
hospital was sure OF receiving ITS
money,
Another case is that of tramp who
had n leg cut off by train in the
railroad yards and was taken there.
After the injured member had been
amputated the man was allowed 10
remain at the institution few days
when he was ordered to leave although
IN a weakened condition. There are
innumerable cases Of similar nature
that are known to railroad men.
The Ogden general hospital Is con-
trolled by number of prominent ply
sicians OF the city.
