of a few hours till he dies.
Statements of passengers show that
no one had even moments warning
of the disaster before the crash came.
Charles Osborne of Freeport, ILL.,,
says:
1--WE had no time to jump. The front
seats were swept back, pinning US into
a small space, while those in front were
thrown in heap on top of the pas
sengers in the rear. The whole front
of the train seemed to come right back
at us, and almost before we knew it
we were buried in wreckage.
Everybody behaved most heroically,
even the badly injured offering to help
others 1 did not see a person in the
smoking car who was not hurt"
General Manager Graves of the Spo-
kane and Inland system, of which the
Couer d'Alene and Spokane is part, in
an official statement says that he and
other officials have been so busy look
ing after the dead and injured that
they have done nothing whatever to-
ward fixing the responsibility for the
accident.
1t is learned from an official of the
road that Motorman Campbell of the
westbound train, the extra which was
wrecked had orders from the dispatch
er to pull out of Occur d'Alene and to
take q siding about three quarters of
a mile out, in order TO allow the regu-
lar eastbound train to pass. He passed
that siding, either forgetting his sor-
ders or imagining he could make the
next siding, about another mile ahead.
1t was between the two sidings that
the collision occurred.
Whatever may have been his reason
for passing the first siding, here is still
the mystery of his not seeing the other
train in time to stop his own, as the
track was clear and the other train
had stopped
