One Passenger Injured.

Darby O'Malley of Valley City n. D.
was occupying a berth on the rear sleeper
of the train, and was probably the most
seriously injured Of any Of the passen-
gers. Mr.. OMalley was thrown from his
1 berth and received q deep scalp wound
about four inches long. DR.. J. X. Hoist
of Little Falls, Mimi, was on the train,
and dressed the wound as best he could
without bandages or instruments. The
wound was redressed by DR.. Scott at the
Elks' club when the party arrived. Mr..
O'Malley said that almost every person
i'm the rear car was thrown from his
berth, and that the rear-end brakeman
was thrown through the rear door of the
car and badly cut with broken glass.
General Superintendent J. c. Daley of
the Utah division was at Helper when
the news of the wreck reached there
and he accompanied the relief and wreck
train from there. Superintendent Ogg Of
the Green River division also arrived at
the scene an hour after the wreck and
these two officials directed the work of
clearing up the debris. Mr.. Daley will
probably arrive home this evening. Last
evening a telegram from him to the Of
flee here gave some particulars, about
as above given, and stating that the
track was open and that there would
be no further delays of trains. Little
has been given out regarding the cause
of the wreck but it is stated the case
win be fully investigated. Misunderstand-
ing of the train orders is said to be the
probable cause.
lt is said that the Philadelphia Elks'
special left Grand Junction as Section q
an hour shead of the wrecked train and
that when the latter reached Pinto il
found Section 3 on the siding, the en-
CINE having gone dead. Section . went
ahead without stopping Section had
orders to pass the freight as Cisco, but
Section 3 knew nothing about the freight.
The passengers who arrived here from

stories 10 tell. They rested in this city

NEW YORK, Sept. 22--Harry Whit
ney, the young New Haven sportsman,
upon whose testimony the north pole con-
troversy largely hinges, has been heard
from and, in effect, supports DR.. Cook S
contention that he reached the north pole,
according to a story published here to-
day. Mrs. Whitney his mother, received
a letter, dated September 3. in which
Whitney says:
ct saw DR.. Cook at Etah. He has &C
cofnplished a great thing. He is bound TO
become a great man. He claims to have
reached the north pole, and from the
evidences believe he has"
The gist Of the foregoing was given out
by Mrs. William Blodgett, of Fishkill, n.
Y, a sister of Mrs Whitney.
PROOF HINGES ON WHITNEY.
Whitney Is the man to whom DR.. Cook
says he entrusted some of his instru-
ments and confided the secret that he had
reached the north pole. Commander Peary
has said that Whitney spoke no word of
Cooks discovery and this has been used
largely to the Brooklyn explorers dis
credit.
Whitney, to whom DR.. Frederick A.
Cook looks to prove his assertion that he
discovered the north pole, is believed to
be now on his way from Hudson Bay
or Bafin's Bay to a telegraph point in
either Labrador or Newfoundland. With
his return to civilization, DR.. Cook ex-
poets complete confirmation Of his story
that he told Whitney all about his trip
to the pole.
Further testimony to corroborate DR..
Cooks claims is expected when Comman-
der Peary's ship. the Roosevelt, reaches
