Casper. Wyo., Sept. 2S-An I'M
known number Of victims of the
wreck of the Burlington's Casper
Denver passenger train No. 80,
wrecked last night near Lockett,
Wyo., still were in the submerged
cars of the train tonight. A conser-
vative estimate of the dead is be-
lieved to be 40. some persons MAIN
tanning that many others lost their
lives. while railroad authorities say
fewer were lost.
The train, composed of locomo-
tive, baggage, mail and express cars,
two day coaches and two pullmans,
plunged through bridge across
Coal Creek shortly after leaving here
at S.35 o'clock last night. The train
was made up in Casper and was due
to arrive in Denver at 1905 o'clock
this morning. All of the train except
the rear pullman dropped into the
creek, which was over its banks be-
cause of recent rains.
Rescue workers, rendered helpless
by rain and snow that fell intermit-
family throughout the day and the ir-
resistible torrent that was surging
through the normally dry creek bed,
stood by, unable to do anything.
AS the day wore on, newspaper
men noticed that the cars were slowly
settling beneath the water.
This afternoon the known dead in
cluded Nicholas Schmetz of Douglas,
Wyo.; B. E. Schultz of Casper. a bag
gagemen and an unidentified hobo.
Out of the 80 persons believed to have
been on the train. about 40 have been
accounted for. The estimate of the
loss of life is based upon statements
made by passengers who passed
through the coaches prior to the
wreck. These coaches are under
water and the death figure probably
will not be known for some time.
Although the bodies of several vic
tins are visible, an attempt to reach
them was out of the question as the
creek is IS fee wide and extremely
swift. Everything possible was being
done, railroad officials said. but little
could be accomplished toward recov-
ering the bodies until the waters re-
cede.
Railroad men today declared their
belief that the accident could not
have been prevented. An hour be-
fore the train, swinging around
slight curve on schedule time
crashed through the bridge spanning
the small stream, track walker re-
ported that he had inspected the
structure and found 1t safe. Weak
ened by heavy storms and with Its
edges torn away by the torrent as
the result of a cloudburst. the small
bridge was in no condition to with
stand it's heavy load of steel. they
said.
