Track

Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 2O.-Engineer Tom
Walker and Fireman p. w. Bauer, both
of Tucson, were killed, 10 passengers
were seriously injured and 80 others cut
and bruised when train No. 4, formerly
known as the Southern Pacific Golden
State Limited, was wrecked three miles
west of Benson at 4:01 O'Clock this
morning. Those most seriously injured
were brought in hospital train to St.
Mary's hospital at Tucson. They are:
Willard M. Knight, Los Angeles, mail
clerk, may die; John Lawrence, Sol
diers home, Los Angeles; W. R. Walker,
mail clerk, Los Angeles; Mrs. L. A. Bel

geles; Miss Nellie Corbett; Edward G..
Edmunds, mail clerk, Los Angeles; Con-
ductor Edward Tenn, Ell Paso.
The train was running 80 miles an
hour. Southern Pacific officials ascribe
the wreck to striking a curve at too
high speed.
Cars Topple OFF Wreck.
The engine, baggage cars, mail car
and two tourist sleepers toppled from
the rails, the engine and the mail car
rolling down 40 feet into culvert. The
other cars turned over as they cleared
the rails, but did not go into the ditch.
Two Pullmans and an observation car
remained on the rails and the momentum
carried them for distance of 500 feet
beyond the wreckage.
Engineer Walker and Fireman Bauer
met instant death in the cab of their
engine. Almost all the injured were in
the tourist sleepers and the mail car.
Difficulty was experienced in extri-
eating two of the injured mail clerks
from their car. Prompt work on the
part of the train crew prevented fire
breaking out in the wreckage. Engineer
Walker, who was killed today, met with
an accident at the same curve three
years ago and was seriously injured.
