pounds.
All unidentified are women or
children, and the bodies are badly
mangled.
While nothing official has been
given out at to the cause of the
wreck, it is stated to have heen due
to misunderstanding of orders on
the part of tie engineer, Gustal
Olson, of the passenger train. Oh
son, however, claims that he under
stood his instructions perfectly, but
that he misread his watch, thus
encroaching or the time of the
freight train, which was being drawn
by two locomotives, the first Of
l;oL ~, ~, NF hic krOt hnr
Sig Olson.
When news of the catastrophe
reached Glenwood Springs every
available physician and nurse in the
city was pressed into service and a
relief train was soon on the scene.
The work Of rescue was Immediately
begun.
AS the bodies were taken from the
ruins they were laid side by side on
bier of snow amid the agonizing
shrieks of husband, wife and parent
as they searched among the dead for
their loved ones, many oe whom
were mangled beyond all recogni-
tion.
A pathetic feature Of the acci
dent was the killing of father,
leaving two small children, the elder
being four years old, the younger
two. The elder boy told a nurse
at the sanitarium that his father
called him Bennie, and this is all
he will say. From a fellow passen-
ger it was learned that the family
was en- route to Grand Junction to
visit relatives.
1t is supposed that Mr.. and Mrs.
Kettle, whose names appear among
the dead, were the parents OF these
two little ones, who are badly in
jured.
Another sad case was the destruc-
tion Of an entire family with the ex-
ceDtion of an infant of three months.
This helpless child was taken care
OF by family at Shoshone, who in
tend. to adopt the sole survivor of
once happy family.
Another heart-breaking scene was
enacted in the wreck zone, when
kind hands gently lifted four-year-
old girl from the death clasp of her
mothers arms. Nearby lay the body
of her father, decapitated, and on
every side were lifeless bodies, vic
Tins of the disaster.
A train load Of thirty wounded
and bleeding men and women ar
rived in Glenwood Springs at
O'Clock this morning. The wounded
were taken to the county hospital
and to the sanitarium, and when the
cots and wards there had been filled,
room was made in hotels for the
MANNED.
A woman died from her injuries
in the relief train, while on her way
to Glenwood Springs. 1t is expect
ed that at least a dozen others who
were brought here will die.
Train No. was made up of an
engine and tender, baggage car,
cn,ol-;nu car and q full COmDlement
