FIFTY BELIEVED TO
HAVE DIED IN
TUNNEL
Searching Party Finds Only But
tons and Charred Bones
BUT ONE BODY RECOVERED
Wife of American Engineer and Her
Children Among Those Who Met
Horrible Death

Jaurez, Mex, Feb. 9.-Nothing but
charsed bones and buttons were
found by the rescuing party which,
with the aid Of oxygen helmets ana
pulmotors, succeeded IN penetrating
the Cumbre tunnel In chihuahua,
Mex. Yesterday from the south pcr-
tai as far as the locomotive and drst
two cars of the passenger tram.
These are supposed to have been the
bodies of the engineer and fireman,
They we're killed when their engine
crashed into the burning frelSht
train which had been pushed hto
the tunnel by Castillo's bandits sever
al hours before, it is said.
1t is now believed that every one
of the so or more passengers includ-
ing the crew, who were aboard the
train when it dashed into the tunnel
last Wednesday night are dead, and
whether the train was hurried into
the tunnel to escape being captured
by Castillos bandits or sent head
long to its destruction by the 5andi,s
may never be known. Entrance
from the north portal will not be pos
sibe until tonight at the earliest and
probably not until tomorrow. as the
heaviest timberiHg is still burning.
The rescuing patty which went IN
at the south end yesterday, founl It's
way greatly impeded by not only the
iron frame work of the burned cars
but by great masses of earth ana
rock which had fallen from the roof
of the tunnel. Rock is still falling.
making exploration dangerous, and
there is constant fear that othe'
lives may be added to those already
lost by cave-ins after the rescuers
have penetrated the tunnel for some
distance.
The wreckage is now covered by
from ) to 10 feet of earth and the on
ly hope of finding any bodies is that
they may have been covered with
earth before having been reached by
the flames, which, judging from the
experiences yesterday. is not prob
able, as for the whole distance ,rayer
sed not a particle of the woodwork Of
all the cars burned was found.
The only recognizable body thus
far recovered is that of Juan Fernan-
DEE, the rear brakeman of the pas
senger train, who had escaped to
within 200 feet of the north portal
when he finally succumbed, dying
in sitting pasture with a handker-
chief tied about his nose and mouth
in vain endeavor to save himself
from being smothered by the smoke
and gas
It is believed that all the others On
board the train who were not MAIN
ed or killed when the passenger
train ran into the wreckage of the
freight attempted to escape as did
Fernandez, but were overcome one
by one, and their bodies probably
will be found strewn along the tun-
mel when entrance is finally forced
and the debris cleared away Among
the Americans who lost their lives
in the tunnel were Mrs Lee Carruth
and FIVE children. the family of an
engineer employed at MADEIRA.

AMERICAN INDIAN SLOWLY
PASSING OUT OF EXISTENCE

Pushed beyond every frontier his home
and his hunting grounds lost to him, shut
away from his buffalo and antelope the
old Indian stands at the end of his jour
ney, says the New Haven Journal. The
generation which is at the fore is doing
something, not much, with it's opportuni-
ties. When the old Indian passes to the
spirit land the young men of the plains
will receive their heritage of land and
bounty, but from all present indications
they will do little with it, and a few
short years will suffice to see the heritage
dissipated and the land purchased and
built upon, cultivated and redeemed by
the white man.
The Indians remaining tomorrows are
few, and they will soon be lost in the gem
erations yet unborn. The picture is full
of pathos. 1t is like the dead march in
Saul 1t is a long, long chapter from
the cordial welcome of the red man when
Columbus landed to the fated end of the
red man more than 400 years later, but the
end is almost here. And now our only
hope, if we wish to keep the Indian, is
to carve a statue of him in stone or mold
his figure in bronze
The stupendous possibilities of the In
dian, the marvellous resources of the red
man, the glittering possibilities of the
race, the unconquerable virility of this
type of color are all shown by the fact
that civilization in its onward march, in
vention with it's mighty pulse BEATS, the
throbbing life of progress, all combined,
have not yet been able to snuff out these
first and real Americans; but the day will
soon dawn when the last real North
American Indian will be folded in his
blanket and laid amid the signing
branches of the pines upon some lonely
and desolate hillcrest. whose only dirge
will be the liquid notes OF the meadow
lark.
