 The damage from the accident was in- f1icted chiefly upon the locomotive and the air brake equipment. The explana- ton of the accident generally accredited was that the boulder was rolled on to the track by boys. The force of the blow was shown by the pilot, or "cowcatcher, " which was badly twisted.
 John McAuliffe, the engineer, said the obstruction was struck by the train as it rounded a curve. The stone, or a frag- ment of it, tore a gash in the hose con- veying the compressed air, releasing the air applying the brakes.
 Engineer McAuliffe said the boulder must have been at least two feet in diam eter to work such havoc with the pilot. Instead of being hurled from the track. the stone passed under the locomotive and first six cars of the train. Although the passengers were not severely shaken, the brake beams were broken and break shoes were torn from position Colonel Roosevelt was In the third car, which bumped over the boulder second after 1t struck the pilot.
