Smoker Scene of Slaughter.
| 1t was in the smoking car of the
westbound train, an extra, that all
the deaths occurred and most of the
serious injuries were received. The
car was packed to the doors, the
| aisles being full of the standing pas
sengers, and when the crash came the
| partitions separating the motorman
from the rest of the car were swept
| backward. and with them the front
seats.
| Passengers in the front of the car
were thrown ON top of those in the
rear, while the eastbound front car
telescoped the smoker and smashed
| the seats, framework and window
glass into an inextricable mass, from
which the victims were with difficulty
released.
Accident Near LA Crosse.
! The accident occurred just opposite
the Stack Gibbs lumber mill, a few
hundred yards west of little siding
called Gibbs, or La Crosse. No ex-
PLANTATION is advanced for the COLI
sion other than that orders must have
been misunderstood, as the trains
! came together in broad daylight on a
! track with but a single curve.
1t was but few seconds when help
from the rear cars and from the saw
mill settlement reached the scream
ing, struggling mass in the west
| bound smoker 1t was soon seen
that axes and crowbars would be nee
essary to get the dead and injured
loose and with these implements the
victims were pried from among the
tangled wreckage and laid at the side
Of the track.
Bodies Frightfully Mangied.
Many of the bodies and a number
of the injured were badly mangled.
An unknown woman was pierced
through the heart with great silver
of wood, dying instantly. Ten year
old Dallie Golden, son of Thomas
Golden of E212 Third avenue, was
in one of the front seats and his lit
tie body, crushed and bleeding, was
among the first to be taken from the
debris. With a foot cut so that 1t
hung by but a thread of skin, man
pinned between two seats smiled and
told his rescuers to take their time
and to get help to the women first.
The accident, without parallel in
the railroad history Of the north
west, converted the hospital at Occur
d'Alene into a shambles, made two
cars into kindling wood and held up
trains crowded with landseekers fol-
four hours.
| Up to the hour OF gong to press
it has not as yet been ascertained
which VIM. Ward was killed at the
wreck Saturday night. 1t was thought
up till noon today that the Ward re.
ferred to was VIM. Ward of Eas,
Wenatchee, brother of J. P. Ward
This Ward sold his property across
the Columbia river six weeks ago and
went to independence, Ore. The ies-
cription of the man killed was fur
nished by wire from Spokane and
conceded exactly with William Ward
now of Oregon, but a wire from the
latter place states that he is still
there.
The police department of this city
has been at work since Saturday
night to locate the man, but thus far
their efforts have been futile. A pc
culiar circumstance connected with
the matter was the fact that tele-
gram came Saturday night for Myrtle
Ward. Myrtle Ward is a daughter OF
William Ward now Of Oregon. How
her name could have been secured in
