For the c., B. & Q. Wreck
Near Chicago Yesterday
Which Killed Thirteen and
Injured Fifty.

CHICAGO, July 15.-Although Traf.
fic Manager Eustice, of the c. r. & Q.
railroad declared today that the re-
sponsibility for Sundays wreck at
Weston Springs in which thirteen per-
sons were killed and fifty injured ap-
peared to lie between George Bronson,
the engineer, who died with his hand
on the brake leaver, and Flagman
Woodruff, who placed the torpedo
warning, the opinion was generally ex-
pressed after thorough Investigation
that the catastrophe was the result of
foggy weather. The woman operator
evidently had the signals set correct.
ly but the engineer could not see them.
The flagman had placed the torpedoes,
but they were not far enough back to
permit a train, running at high speed,
to stop. Flagman Woodruff also swore
that he had also attempted to flag the
oncoming train further up the track.
Fireman Grain, of Bronson's train
stuck to his claim that the signals
showed a clear track.
Hospital reports today indicated that
none of the injured victims would
die.
Coming through fog with supposed
ly a clear track ahead, train No. 8, a
fast mail, ran at full speed into the
rear of train No. 2, known as the Over
land Express from Denver, which was
standing still on the track, telescoping
two of the Overland's Pullman cars.
Railroad officials refused to fix the
blame until after the wreck had been
investigated thoroughly. Mrs. F. A
Wilcox, who was in charge of the tow
er from which the block signals were
controlled, said she was certain the
block was thrown against both trains.
She collapsed after the accident and
still is in highly nervous condition.
Many Crushed in Berths.
All of the dead except Bronson were
taken from the rear coach of the Den.
yer train. The engine of No. 8 plowed
through the car, halving it and crush
ing out the lives of the helpless pass
engers, many of whom still were in
their berths.
On into the second coach the engine
then sped. Half way through that car
it veered to the left, derailing the
sleeper The engine was entirely strip
ped when it stopped.
Fire, starting from the gas lights in
the sleepers, then broke out. Many vic
tins, pinioned down by heavy timbers
and iron, pleaded for death. Members
of the fire departments of Western
Springs and Lagrange were on the
scene within a few minutes after the
wreck occurred and they put out the
fire with lines of hose.
GhouIs Get In Work.
Ghouls are believed to have robbed
the dead before they reached the NOR
que in Lagrange. More than a dozen
large diamond sets are missing from
jewelry, and although most of the dead
appeared to have been persons in com
Portable circumstances, a dine was the
largest sum of money found on any OF
the bodies.
Coroner Hoffman ordered all of the
bodies embalmed Immediately and i'm
paneled a jury to investigate the
wreck.
