A. Cotsworth, Jr., general passenger
agent Of the Burlington at Omaha,
who was summoned from tour of his
territory to the scene of the wreck
near Casper, made the following
statement: 1.-THE wreck was one of
those frightful affairs which, seeming
ly, cannot be prevented by any amount
of precaution. 1t is a matter of defi-
mite record that about Z 80 o'clock
Thursday evening the section foreman
not only walked over, but climbed I'M
der and examined that bridge as a part
of his regular duties. Everything at
that time was all right, and the water
was only about two feet deep in Cole
creek. The accident happened less
than two hours later, and the creek
was then a raging torrent, eighteen to
twenty feet deep. A local cloudburst
to the north at about that time can be
the only explanation to such sud-
denly changed situation"
