PASSENGER TRAINS
CRUSHED BY AVALANCHE.
Number of Persons Killed Now Placed
at Forty.

Everett, Wash, March --latest es-
Inmates tonight place the number of
persons killed by the avalanche which
crushed two Great Northern passenger
trains at Wellington at forty. While
twenty three persons are known to be
dead, nearly score are thought to be
buried in the wreckage. Communica-
ton with Wellington is maintained
only by men on snowshoes. Twelve
bodies had been removed tonight from
the 150 foot gorge into which the
Snowslide swept the train.
The railroad bunkhouse at Welling-
ton has been transformed into a hos
pital and ten injured are being cared
for there. Superintendent O'Neill of
the Great Northern made his way to
the wreck late today at the head of a
party of doctors and nurses. The
treacherous trip down the precipice
was made on snowshoes.
The nearest telegraph station, Scenic
Hot Springs, is three miles below Wei
lington, down a precfpitous grade,
which is covered with a deep blanket
of snow that may slide down the
mountain at any moment
The Wellington telegraph operator
arrived at Scenic Hot Springs today
almost insane from the scenes he had
Witnessed No information as to the
exact number OF the dead could be OBJ
tanned from him.
The railroad compiny is making
strenuous efforts to reach Wellington
from both sides of the mountain range.
Relief trains have been despatched
from Everett with supplies and a
wrecking crew. The road is blocked
in several places by smaller slides and
the high temperature leads to the fear
that more may occur to impede the re-
lief work.
Everett, Wash, March 2.-The dead
in the Wellington avalanche based on
a list of dead and missing given out
tonight by officers of the Great North
ern railroad, may reach a total of "a
before the rescuers reach the bottom
of the mass of snow and wreckage that
crushed two trains into a. deep gulch.
While only eight passengers and nine
railroad employees of the road are
known to be dead, 38 passengers and
% employees of the road are missing.
Railroad men think few of the missing
will be recovered alive If they are
buried under the snow.
Rescue parties are working desper-
ately to recover the passengers from
the buried coaches. The day coach and
the smoking car have not been found.
They were smashed fiat, it is said.
1t is now said that the reason the
train was not kept in the tunnel, where
it would have escaped the slide, was
that passengers feared they would be
blocked in and suffocated there.
