rear door, but failed to reach it be-
fore the crashd came. She was jam
med against the side of the coach and
her form terrible multilated.
Besides he husband, Mrs. Everett is

Here on Pleasure Trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Everett were in Mex.
leo on pleasure trip, having reached
here from Houston, Texas, four weeks
ago with party of northern tourists.
After Il stay of two weeks in the
City OF Mexico. the party went south,
visiting Veracruz, ,Jalapa and Puebla.
Day before yesterday, the party left
Mr.. and Mrs Everett in Puebla, where
they had stopped for the purpose of
visiting the pyramids. The coach which
they took failed to reach the station
in time for them to join their friends
on the return trip to Mexico City,
and the party left them there, ex-
pecting them to follow yesterday,
which they did. Several of the party
were at the station to meet them
when the train came in, nothing be-
ing known to them of Mrs. Everett's
death until they found her husband,
who was almost Frustrated at the
tragedy.
The remains of Mrs. Everett will
be embalmed and taken to her old
home in Waseca, Minnesota, for in
terment Her relatives were notified
by wire last night.
Mexican Woman Unidentified.
Nothing is known of the identity of
the Mexican lady who was seated
near Mrs. Everett at the time of the
collision other than she boarded the
train ut Puebla and was en- route to
Guadalajara. No one on the train
seemed acquainted with her and there
was no one at the station to meet
her when the train arrived.
The remains of both ladies were
taken temporarily to the Jnarez hos
pital. and later turned over to local
undertakers.
Mr.. Amescma was removed to Dr.
Maya's sanitarium.
Both the conductor and engineer of
the passenger train were placed nm
der arrest by the rurales who accom-
panied the train and upon its ar
rival at the station here, were turned
over to the authorities. Engineer Pa
ouine, of engine "a. it is thought,
jumped before the collision occurred.
He has not been found. His fire.
man. also, is not to be found.
The track was torn up for some dis
lance and two coaches, one being the
Puebla car, of No. 2 as we'll as en-.
CINE "a, were badly wrecked. Engine
and coaches were left Mt the scene of
the disaster and No. proceeded on
to its destination with the baggage
car and two coaches, the remains of
Mrs. Everett having been placed in
the former. while the injured Mexican
lady remained in the first class coach,
where she expired. Everything possible
was done to relieve her suffering by
the passengers and train crew.
Accused of Throwing Stones.
Just before the collision occurred,
the rurales captured Manuel Pelaez,
Lorenzo Arriasa, Genario Ortiz, Ga
brel Rodriguez, HeseQuio Mezoni, Al
berto Lopez and Sebastian Lopez, Mex
leans of the poorer class, who are ac-
cused of throwing stones at the pass
ing train.
A wrecker was at once sent to the
scene of the wreck. Traffic was de-
layed only few hours.

STORY Of MRS. EvERETT'S Death
ina RAILROAD ACCIDENT

The Mexican Herald of March &c
gives the following account of the
death of Mrs. Nellie Everett of Wa
SEGA. and well known in Mankato.
As result of rear-end collision
which occurred on the Mexican rail
way Just ont of the capital at kilo-
meter twelve yesterday afternoon AT
$50 o'clock. two are dead and one Sc
riously injured.
The dead are:
Mrs. Nellie Everett, aged forty
wears. wife of Edward A. Everett of
Waseca. Minnesota.
An unidentified Mexican lady. who
was en- route TO Guadalaiara from
Puebla.
Lie Enrique Amescura, well known
attorney of Puebla and brother of
DR.. Amescura. of Al Pena l6S, and
Nramio Amescura. who is connected
with the firm of Berea, O'Kelly and
company of this city, is badly, though
not fatally injured, his arm being
broken, besides sustaining severe
c,it over the bridge of the nose and,
il is believed, internal injuries.
Rccks Thrown Through Window.
While running at the usual rate of
speed near kilometer II, Mexican Rail
way passenger train No. Yesterday
evening passed a number of poems,
who, it is claimed, threw rocks into
the second class coach, striking a lit
tie child. but not seriously iniuring
her. The train was stopped. however,
i'm order to allow the rurales which
always accompany it to alight for the
purpose of capturing the stone throw
ers. \ flag man was sent ont to the
rear for the purpose of protecting the
train from any other that might be
approaching.
Light engine No. "a was following
No. ,. being few minutes behind. 1t
is claimed that engine "a did not
have Il headlight and that it was
close upon the flagman before he dis.
covered it. He endeavored. however.
to flag the engine, but Engineer Pa
quinc did not see the signal in time
to stop. Passengers say that the light
engine was running at the rate of
about thirty kilometers per hour when
it struck The rear Of No. ..
Her Neck Was Broken
The crash that followed threw ev.
cry passenger to the floor. Mrs. Ever
EFT and the unidentified Mexican lady
were in the rear coach, which was a
first class car. there being no Pull
mans carried on No 2. Mrs. Everett
was thrown violently against the seat
opposite her and her neck broken,
death being instantaneous. The rear
coach was completely telecoped and
the escaping steam fairly cooked both
ladies. The Mexican lady, according
10 the statement of physicians who
examined the corpse, had number
of ribs broken and was almost cooked
alive She lived, suffering the great
est agony, until the train was pulling
into the Mexican railway station, when
she expired.
Mrs. Everett was also badly scald-
ed and cut. 1t seems that the force
of the crash that telescoped the coach
in which she was riding iammed her
body in between the timbers. and as
I he debris was pulled away her body
was almost severed
Her husband was with her on the
train and was standing on the rear
platform watching the rurales chase

the engine approaching and called to
his wife to run. at the same time
