| GLEENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo,
Jan. l6-lTwenty-one persons were
killed and 50 injured, and many ser-
iously in head-on collision between
west-bound passenger train No. S
and east-bound freight on the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad between
Dotsero and Spruce Greek, p miles
from Gleenwood Springs at $50 last
might. While nothing has been given
out as to the cause of the wreck, It is
said to have been due to misunder-
standing Of orders on tile part 81 tile
engineer Of the passenger train Engi-
neer, however, claims he understood
his instructions perfectly, but that he
mis-read his watch thus ensroaching
on the time of freight which was
being drawn by two locomotives.
When news of the disaster reached
Gienwood Springs every available
physician and nurse in the city was
pressed into service and relief train
went to the grewsome scene. Every
body has been taken from the wreck
age and for time it seemed as
though the heartrending task would
never be completed,
The body Of woman was found
lying a few yards from the wreckage,
close to the banks Of the Grand Riv-
er, both arms missing and otherwise
horribly mangled. A trainload of so
wounded and bloody men and women
who narrowly escaped with their lives
arrived in Gleenwood Springs at z
o'clock this morning.
II is expected that some Of the
wounded will die Of their injuries.
Train No. 5 was made up Of an en-
CINE, baggage car, smoker, chair car,
tourist sleeper and full complement Of
Pullmans and the dining car Pull
mans did not leave the track and none
Of the occupants Of these cars we're
either killed or injured, Most Of the
dead and injured were removed from
the ruins Of the chair car which was
split completely in twain.
AS the bodies wee taken from the
ruins they were laid side BY side on
the bier of snow, amid agonizing
shrieks of husband, wife, child and
parent, as they searched among the
dead for their loved ones, many Of
whom were mangled beyond recogni-
ton A pathetic feature Of the acci-
dent was the killing Of father and
mother, leaving two small children,
the elder being four years old, the
Younger two. Another sad case was
the destruction Of an entire family
except d three months old infans.
Anothr heartbreaking scene was en-
acted when pretty four-year-old girl
was lifted from the death clasp Of her
mothers arms Nearby lay the deeapi-
tated body Of her father

PROSPEROUS TIMES
ON RIVER AVENUE
Conditions in That Vicinity Are Said
to Have Improved Wonderfully
Since Street Was Paved.

That the construction of a good
driveway on River avenue from VIII
liams street to the river bridge has
been a paying proposition. is Attest
ed daily by the number of vehicles
which pass over the thoroughfares
from across the river. and the numbe:
of farmers who trade regularly at
this market since the street has been
put in condition.
Formerly the condition of River
avenue. in the vicinity of the Lea.
river bridge, was such as to render
it almost impossible, at times. for a
loaded wagon to pass. consequently
citizens of the county who resided
across the river from Hattiseburg
stopped at Petal, sold their produce
and did their trading there, when they
would really have preferred to come
across to Hattiesburg and buy thei
goods.
Market and dairy wagons are nov
making daily trips from across tn,
river, much country produce is bein,
marketed here and money which for
merly stopped at Petal is coming :,
Hattiesburg. A considerable amour
of cotton also is being brought to tn
city by this route, and merchants ar
of the opinion that the paving Of Rive
avenue was very profitable inves
ment.
Citizens of that vicinity are yer
much pleased with the prosperou
condition there now, and are surprise
at the wonderful improvement whic
has been made in so short a tim

enjoying a good business. and til

Deep CHANNEL
Speaker of House Says He is Gu,
Earliest Possible Executive
of Plans.

SPEC a. 10 The Neus
NEW ORLEANS. La, November 2.
Speaker Joseph Cannon, about
whose attitude on The-Lakes-to-the-
Gulf Deep Waterway project, much
concern has been felt throughout the
whole Mississippi Valley, gave out q
signed statement before leaving for
his home this morning in which he I'M
qualifiedly endorsed the deep water
way project, both as a citizen and as
representative.
Not only did Speaker Cannon an
nounce that he was favorable to the
earliest solution possible" of the en-
cheering problems in connection with
the proposed waterway, but he also
said that he was ready to support
ample appropriation for the speedy,
effective and continued prosecution
of the work upon such waterway to
its completion"
When it was learned about the hotel
lobbies and on the floor of the con-
vention this afternoon that the speak
er of the house had receded from
what has been described as his attf-
tude of the SHOW me-" had come out
! in statement for the improvement
of the Mississippi. the feeling was
general that the most important de-
velopment of the convention. so far
had occurred. Governors, congress
men and all who are taking part in
the convention, consider that this
proposition of Speaker Cannon should
go far toward assuring the successful
completion of The-Lakes-to-the-Gulf
project.
