yesterday morning. Both were members
Of the crew of westbouud freight No, s.
The colliding train was freight No Co.
Both engines were wrecked.
Train No co left Council Bluffs at 1215
yesterday morning, with orders TO take the
siding at Bentley TO be passed by No.
IS. The crew made the run to the meet
ing point and was backing into the siding
from the east end. The cars had been
pushed in and the engine was almost
ready to clear when No. S. running at
about twenty miles an hour came around
the curve, having orders to run into
Council Bluffs
Both engineers realized the danger at
about the same instant and whstled for
brakes, but il was too late, for a minute
later the engine No. IS hit that of No.
90 and with terrible force. The two en-
gines crumpled like card boxes, burying

under the wreckage.
Jump 10 Save Lives.
The engineer and fireman OF No. s.
are said to have escaped death by jump
ing at the very instant that the two
locomotives came together. They are
reported to have been considerably
bruised by striking the frozen ground.
Just before 8 o'clock ThursdaN morning
call for help was sent to the Union Pa
cific and fifteen minutes later, a wreck
ing crew from omaha was on the way to
the wreck, making the run in about
thirty minutes.

by the Great Western trainmen and n
crew sent from Council Bluffs worked
until after noon clearing away the wreck
age
About noon the bodies Of the engineer
and fireman were found crushed and
pnioned under the tank OF, their engine.
From the appearance of the bodies, II is
presumed that they sought to save their
lives by jumping.
One hundred feet or more of track was
torn out at the end of the Bentley siding
and as a result of the delay. Great
Western passenger trains were detoured
between Omaha and Carroll, Ia, over
the Northwestern tracks.

The collapse of the Diaz movement
one week after its inception with a
minimum of fighting and bloodshed,
has created the greatest surprise here.
In administration circles, where op-

the beginning the outcome is regarded
as the highest vindication of the con-
fidence always expressed in the 10y

Gen. Felix Diaz, after Gen. Reyes,
has been regarded as the man who
could WELD the greatest influence
with the army and the people gener-
ally. His rebellion ending in a fiasco
only slightly less pronounced than
that of Reyes last December removes
a danger which has long loomed on
the political horizon. News of the
