OVER 1000 E[KS SPENT DAY
HERE; DELAYED BY
THE WRECK

Over $500 Elks were in Grand
Junction this morning and the great
er part of this afternoon.
Rarely ever has the city had such
an array of visitors within her gates.
About o'clock this morning there
was total of siXty-four Pullman
cars in the local railroad yards. max
ing up the numerous special trains
carrying hundreds of Elks from east
ern cities and states to the great ma
tional convention in Los Angeles.
Then there were numerous Pullmans
that were attached to the regular
trains that were being held here on
account of the wreck in Utah.
Train after train stood in the local
yards all day waiting for the message
that would announce that the tracks
were open and they could proceed to
the west That the vast army of
Elks and their ladies we're impatient
and worried goes without saying.
Most of them had already experience
ed aggravating delays since they
came across the state line as a result
Of landslides and washouts and many
of them had begun to think that
they would never get to Los Angeles,
or at least never get there in time for
the convention.
However. the hundreds of visitors
took an optimistic view of the situa-
tion and have been busy enjoying
themselves in Grand Junction. They
have taken trolley rides, visited the
business houses, raked up acquaint-
ances with local citizens, devoured
the viands at the local restaurants
and caused the ice cream parlors to
do a thriving business.

Three Grand Junction men are
dead and three are badly injured as
the result of one of the most fright
full wrecks that ever occurred on the
Rio Grande Western road or that has
ever occurred within a comparatively
short distance of Grand Junction.
A section of regular Rio Grande
passenger train, westbound, No. 3,
consisting of the engine, baggage car
and four coaches, collided with a
sheep train at a point on a short
curve. on level grade, about ] II
of mile east of the little station of
White House, Utah, about 6 imles
west of Cisco, and about 60 miles
west of the city of Grand Junction.
Henry Heideman, aged 10 years,
engineer on the passenger train and
one of the best known railroad men
of Grand Junction, was killed out
right in his engine.
John S. Vaughn, aged about 35
years. one of the best known young
men of the city, baggage master on
the passenger train, was fatally in
jured and died few minutes after
the wreck.

for about four years 4 resident of

Had Trains Combined Result
Would Have Been Terrible.

This opposition to consolidation
was most fortunate. Had these trains
been consolidated the heavy sleepers
of the Elks would have been placed
in the rear, making the passenger
train an exceedingly heavy one. AS
result when the passenger and the
sock train met there would have been
such weight s.nd force on the end
OF the passenger train that the cars
carrying the regular traffic would
have telescoped and the toll of death
would have been terrible.
Engineer Heideman and his fire
man pulled out of Grand junction
with their train, a comparatively
light one, and made splendid time
going west. The train was well fill
ed with passengers, including quite a
number of Elks

being members of the big delegations
of Elks.
The local lodge and club rooms of
the Elks have been crowded to over
flowing all day and the members of
the local lodge have extended the
hand of cordial friendship and greet
ing to every one of the visitors.
The offices of the Chamber of
Commerce, The Sentinel and other
business houses in the city have been
visited by hundreds of the visitors.
Secretary Mahoney of the Cham
Der of Commerce has distributed
hundreds of pieces of literature.
All of the visitors seem to be deep
ly interested in what they hear con-
cerning this section and many of
them have expressed admiration for
the city
The delayed Elks and their ladies
have sought The Sentinel office bull
letin boards all day for late informa-
tion concerning the wreck and a
world of enquiries have been made at
this office concerning the wreck.
The union station has been the
livliest place in town today. Over

putting of locomotives, changing of
bells and footing of whistles made
it easy to imagine that you were in
the union station of great city.
This afternoon hundreds of the
Elks went out to see the big baseball
game and they greatly enjoyed 1t.
The Elks specials expect to get out
of the city late this afternoon. The
visitors are enthusiastic in declaring
that in spite Of the annoying delay
they have had most enjoyable day
in Grand Junction.

Trains Rushed Toward
Each Other.

Cisco was passed in good shape by
the passenger train and a few min
utes later the passenger train was
pulling down a gentle but decided
grade toward the little station of
White House, level stretch of road
was struck and still the passenger
train sped on. On this level stretch
is short curve.
Just a few minutes before the
sheep train with Engineer Houston
and Fireman Temple in charge pulled
out of White House. II was making
fair rate of speed. The crew of the
train were entirely unconscious of
threatening danger, as was the crew
of the passenger train.
The passenger train passed the
point where about six years ago a
fearful wreck occurred in which
Tuskey and Webster, two well known
local railroad men were killed.
The two trains were speeding to-
ward each other in the twilight of
dawn and neither knew the other
was approaching.
Suddenly, too late, members of the
crew of the sheep train saw the glare
of the headlight of the passenger
train. Apparently the engineer and
fireman of the passenger train did
not see the approach of the stock
train. A few seconds more and the
passenger train, making probably so
miles an hour, struck the sheep train.
There was crash and roar that
was deafening, the cries of dying
men. the bleating of dying sheep. the
hiss OF steam and the road of the
engine fires, were mingled together
in one awful series of sickening
noises.
