ARIZONA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2e, 1sl

upon hearing of the accident. and rendered the use of his car to take MT and Mrs. Pascoe home.
 An examination of the Pascoe car showed that the impact must have been somewhat sidewise in character thefenders and running board on one side having been broken off and the rear seat torn loose. The motive power of the car was practically un- damaged. A party of automobile men from the Arizona Motor company's garage went out to the scene and brought the damaged ear to the city shortly after the accident
 pr. Wylie stated last night that in his honest opinion both cars were go- ing at a rate of speed not far short of fifty miles an hour. He is of the opinion that the first car to pass the wagon never knew of the accident, but went on it's way ignorant of the dire results of the advised race. Hesaid that his lights were all that saved him from being run down, coup led with the fact that he took the pre- caution to give the approaching ma chimes every inch of available space
 That all three occupants of the Pascoecar were not instantly killed is little short of miraculous It seemed to Dr. Wylie, after hearing the terrible impact of the machine with the horse and the wagon, that there could be no possible chance that anybody had escaped.
 That there are not more accidents .f, .f night is due more to good luck or chance than to any particular care on the part of scores of atuo- ists who nightly make of Central ave nue a speedway, thereby endangering the lives of everybody in their own machines and striking terror to the hearts of the drivers of horse pro pelled vehicles.

THE WRECK
 AT DURAND Estimates Of Victims Range
 From Six To Twelve MOST GRuES0ME SCENES There Followed the Usual Dispute Between Train men of the Two Trains As to Location of Blame For the Horror "a
MOST GRuEs0nE SCENES

Durand. Aug. 25.-With the clear ing away today of the ruins of the wrecked and burned Pullman sleeper Nebraska" probably has disappeared all hope of determining the actual number of lives lost
 Estimates of the number of the dead range from eight or twelve to possibly twenty. The known dead are: Mrs Alma Woodward of Bellefield, N. D. Mrs. F.. Gilpin of Chicago; James Me Bean, letter carrier of Chicago; Miss Swinger. a trained nurse with Mrs. Woodward; Mrs. Squires and her To- year-old son. Portions of the charred bodies believed to be from six to twelve persons were found. Seven were injured. one being Engineer Mitchell
 The car porter said eighteen per sons were asleep in the car when the wreck occurred. If the number oh board was eighteen, the six injured and the six bodies recovered would account for twelve. leaving six persons to be accounted for.
 The cause of the wreck is a mystery and an inquest will be held. Engineer Spencer said today that he was all most on top of the forward section when he heard the torpedo The ex- ploded torpedo was found today fifty rail lengths, or 1900 feet from the scene of the collision, and Assistant Superintendent Ehrke of the Grand Trunk said the second section could have been stopped in eight hundred feet.
 Brakeman c. R. Graham of the for ward train, asserted that he ran back nearly a mile with the torpedo and that he waved a red light to stop the coming train. Graham also dis puted Spencers statement that the rear lights of the forward train were not burning This evening Graham could not be located by railroad off cialS
 Grueseme scenes attended the rail road wreck at midnight. Farmers who ran from their homes to assist in the work of rescue were held back by the flames and compelled to stand help less witnesses of the roasting of a human body which burned and fell tc pieces before their eyes.
 Superintendent Ehrke's statement that just nineteen passengers were on the wrecked car is borne out by the train chart of Pullman Conductor Haynes and the list given out at Chi cago by H. G. Elliott, first assistant general passenger agent of the Grand Trunk.

the total number of dead and missing in the forestry service, settlers and miners not included While the re turns are not complete from the Occur d'Alene and Pend d'Oreille districts, 1t is thought that the final figures will make no change.
 The result of the compilation given out tonight places the known dead at seventy nine of whom seventy-three died in the Occur d'Alene forest, four in the Cabinet forest at Tuscor, two m the Pend dOreille forest. These to- tals are the result of a day of searching In the Occur d'Alene forest some men are still missing and reports are not all in from the Pend d'Oreille. So far as the local office is aware, the only men unaccOunted for in the govern ment service are Ranger Joseph B Hahn and party of fifteen men.

Spokane, Aug 25.-If the stories of men returned from the St. Joe coun- try in Idaho are to be believed. the loss of life at Big creek, tributary of the St Joe river, is appalling, and the dead in Idaho alone will number more than 200. even if Ranger Joseph Hahn and his eighty-four men appear of which the forest officers at Wallace are not hopefal
 Two mmbermen say they saw thir. ty Italians burned. party of Austri- an laborers report the death of seven teen comrades. The loss of twenty seven American laborers who enlisted in Missoula is announced bT surViV- ing companions. Supervisor Weiglt has abandoned hope of the safety oi Ranger Hahn. who, with eighty foul men, was in the thick of the fight al the headwaters of the St Joe on Sat urday A relief party has searched il vain over the whole country where Hahn was last seen. Ranger Ferns, al the head of a still larger party on the St Joe. is safe.
 The forest service announces the loss of twenty-seven men in the Big creel country, and it may be that these arc a part Of the ninety-five dead report ed by their comrades at Spokane to- day. It is supposed that the twenty bodies found on Bitter Root creek neal Avery are those of settlers. Twenty four bodies found on Setser creek are those of forest employees.
 The forest officers at Wallace art unable to give the names of the dead but it is thought that most of then were newly hired for fire emergency and that their names are not officially recorded. Probably few skilled forest men perished.
 It should be understood that the loss of life occurred on Saturday and Sun day, when the gale famed the smoul- dering embers into great fires ana drove the flames through the noun tains with the speed of express trains giving the defeated fire fighters nc chance for their lives.
 The weather is calm and cool, anC the fire, even where it is left to it. self, is traveling slowly
 All estimates of loss place it al $2O O,00O, ,OOO, mostly in timber. The critical period of the fire is past. What remains to be done is to seek the miss ing, to bury the dead and feed anc clothe the homeless.
