been either killed or injured. Mr.. Do
Weese's friends were, for q little
while, very uneasy about his safety
and they were arranging to go to his
relief when the message came that he
was all right. 1t is not known whether
there were other Canon City people
on the wrecked train or not
Immediately upon the receipt of the
news of the wreck the chief offices Of
the Denver and Rio Graade Railroad
took steps to alleviate the suffering
OF the wounded and a large section OF
the sanitarium at Glenwood Springs
was at once reserved by telegraph, for
the care OF the most seriously wound
ed. A wrecker was ordered to tho
scene OF the wreck from Sal'da which
arrived a few minutes before seven
o'clock this morning and the clearing
away OF the debris was begun imme-
diately. y
A two year oYd Baby was the only
person saved from the passengers OF

was not injured but there is no elew

few seconds everybody was dazed
by the awfulness Of the accident and
nothing was done to relieve the dis
tress and suffering which existed on
every hand. AS nobody was directing
the rescue work I took charge Of af-
fairs and called for volunteers to as

which there was = willing and gener-

The wreck occurred on a high

skirts the bank of. the Grand river in
its way to Glenwood Springs and
points beyond. The roadbed was about
forty-five feet higher than the river.
