SHERIFF DESCRIBES
AWFUL SCENES
DISASTER STILL
PRESENTS SCENE OF INDIES
CRIBABLE HORROR -BODIES
HORRIBLY MANGLED.

Sheriff Ferguson, who has been at
the scene of the Wellington disaster
since Sunday, helping to dig out the
bodies entombed there, returned last
night. He said that the nearest he
can come to describing the scene is
as follows:
"On one side of the track there is
a high mountain, and on the other
side, about 200 feet below, is creek.
The snow is about 20 feet deep at
the creek and about 10 feet deep on
the mountain side. If a dynamite
bomb had been exploded beneath the
train so as to smash it into kindling
wood, and then if it were to be mixed
with snow and rocks and other de-
bris, you would have some idea of
the condition.
1.-THE bodies that are to be taken
out are fearfully distorted and man
gled. The heads of some are smashed
and limbs are torn in two and the
bowels of some are torn out. The
first man that was taken out was a
track-walker and it took eight hours
to get him out after they found him.
The second was Mr.. Fisher from
British Columbia and it took four
hours digging to get him out after
he was found. On Tuesday he met
a man by the name of Latch, friend
from Spokane, a member of the Elks.
He had been called there on account
of the death of his wife. 1t was two
days before they found her body
and then the lower part of the body
was cut in two places, but the face
and the upper part of the body were
all right.
Mr.. Ferguson stated that he assist
ed the two deputies who were there
in watching the valuables that were
taken out and protecting the prop
erty until 1t was turned over to the
coroner. They had almost unsur-
mountable difficulties to overcome
in reaching the scene of the disaster.
Twelve men went over in a box car
and the slide on this side of the
mountain hindered their travel.
Supt. O'Neill is on the ground do
ing all in his power to recover the
bodies from the snow. He has work
ed night and day and has been tire
less in his efforts. Engineers and
other trainmen have likewise put all
of their strength into the work. The
railroad company is now planning to
run steam pipes through the snow
in order to melt 1t as there seems
to be no better way to clear the
place and recover the bodies. Mr..
Ferguson thinks that the slides were
caused by the rain and the terrific
electric storm which was accompanied
by very heavy thunder cloud. The
vibrations doubtless caused the rocks
and snow to be lOOSened SO that 1t
came down.
He also helped to dig out the bod
les of Henry Elerker and John Olson
and searched them. The men, he
says, were simply smothered in the
snow but the bodies were in a good
state of preservation and were
brought to this place by Undertaken
H. N. May on the train last night.
Mr.. Ferguson was compelled to re-
turn in order to bring back a Japan
csc workman who attempted the life
of foreman of one of the gang
working on the track. His hands are
blistered and he shows signs of much
loss of sleep.

the rough stones gently one upon an

twice its former size. The air on the
open cliff top was fresher than in the
cleft, and Miss Leslie gave little heed
to the absence of shade. She would
have worked on under the burning sun
without thought of consequences.

COMET is VISIBLE
10 THE NAKED EYE.

Salt Lake. April 21-Halley's comet
was seen by the naked eye Wednes-
day morning at 4:i3 o'clock Profes-
sor j. L. Gibson. in company with
others at the University of Utah, kept
a night vigil. In the hope of catching
a glimpse OF the comet, and were re-
warded by getting good view Of
the comet at the time mentioned.
Professor Gibson said:
THE comet had just arisen above
the mountain at 43 o'clock. 1t ap-
peared TO be a star of the third mag
nitude. but by means of averted WIS.,
ion one could see the tail When the
comet was first sighted, the telescope
was at once pointed in its direction.
and through the instrument a great
deal of nebulosity could be seen
around the head The tail appeared
To be from one-quarter to one-half
degree In length We were able to
follow the comet for half an hour, un-
I'll daylight came on the horizon, when
it faded from view.
THE comet rises about degrees
south from that in which the sun
rises. 1t is now near the omega Prlf-
cium, a star, and OF course. a number
OF degrees south of the star known as
Pgasi Gamma 1t is about the same
brightness as Pgasl Gamma. and
