Glenwood Springs, Jan. 16.-It was
from the chair car that the dead oil

Fifty passengers, names not known.
All the sleeping cars remained on
the track and no one in them was in
iured
The passenger train crashed into
the head engine of the freight train
going across switch at Dotsero,
which is a blind siding. The chair
car was telescoped and the first pas
senger coach was wrecked 1t is said
cnly a single person in the day coach
escaped.
Meager details have been received
here. The relief train will probably
reach here with the dead some time
this morning
II was impossible to carry the
wounded around the wreck This de-
layed the relief to the passengers for
more than an hour
The passenger train is said to have
been going at good rate of speed
when it reached the siding at Dot
scro. 1t is Supposed that the engi-
neer of the passenger thought the
freight had passed TO the siding and
was going too rapidly TO stop his train
when he saw the danger The great
locomotive attached to the passenger
train was demolished and the chair
car and passenger coach were turned
on their sides and shattered.
With the arrival of the relief train
flom Glenwood 1t is now possible to
start the work of taking out the bod
les.
The injured were pinned under the
wTeckage and the heroic work of the
passengers of the rear cars saved
many lives. Some OF the injured are
terribly mangled, and the death list,
IL is feared. will be greatly increased.
Train No. .. which was wrecked. left
Denver this morning and was due here
at 1920 tonight The train was well
filled with passengers. many of whom
were TO get off at this point.
Dotsero is a blind siding, with no
station and no telegraph Office. When
the relief train reached the scene it
was found that the long string OF
freight cars on the freight train were
in the way and the only way they
could be disposed of was to back them
to Shoshone, eight miles from the
wreck.
