covering from the wreckage all the
bodies of those killed when a special
engine and caboose crashed head on
into the regular San Francisco-Santa

of the town of Ignacio.
Later the reports say thirteen per-

injured, several seriously. All of the
dead and injured were California peo-
pie, most of them being delegates to
the Red Mems State convention, which
will meet here to-day. The exact

mined. but it is reported that the con-
ductor of the special failed to carry
out orders to run his train into sid
