Colorado Springs. Aug. 14-Nine persons are dead, others are expected to die, between forty and fifty are injured, three engines are in the ditch. two baggage cars, including their contents are smashed and sev- eral passenger coaches are badly damaged as the result of q head-on collision between eastbound passenger train No. and westbound passenger No. 1. on the Denver and Rio Grange near Husted. thirteen miles north of this city at 1O.3O am. today.
 The wreck was due to a misunder- standing of orders. As No. s drew into Husted at about forty miles an hour the crew of the engine saw a light engine standing on the switch north of the station. Mistaking the engine for the second section Of No. 1. the crew did not stop and went through the station as fast as two engines could draw the thirteen heavily laden cars.
 As soon as the train got out of the station, the engineer of the first en- zine of No. saw another train com ing slowly down the incline He slammed on the emergency brakes and then shouted to other members of the two crews to jump. Before they had time to jump No. s had rammed No. 1 so hard that all three engines went into the ditch
 Fireman J. A GOssage of train No. 8 was killed as he was firing his engine and never knew what struck him. The members of the other crew escaped serious injury by jumping. The engineer on the first engine of No 8 is reported to have been work ing extra and since the wreck to be acting like a mad man. He had to be held down by his friends
 Smoker No. 572 attached to train No. 8 was the car in which the peo- pie were killed All those badly ln- jured were in the same car There is not enough left of the car. beyond the frame, to tell that it was formerly d smoking car The baggage cars on both trains. the smokers and the next cars were all wrecked. The three en- zines in the ditch are total wrecks.
