the top of the Pullman car, which
was partially submerged in the
raging torrent of water and threw
1t to the bank of the river where a

Survivors Of Disaster
Tell of Seeing Dozens
Of Passengers Drown

CASPER, Wyo., Sept. 2S.-Two
survivors of the appalling wreck Of
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
train No. 80, gave the first graphic
eyewitness stories of the sudden
disaster which snuffed out seventy
lives.
Daniel j. McQuaid, of Denver,
salesman for a Rochester, N. Y,
optical firm, struggled four miles
through mud and rain to reach Big
Muddy OIL fields. sMcQuaid tele-
phoned to his wife who was in
Denver the details, declaring he had
just escaped from the worst wreck
in Western railway history, but that
he was not injured.
Harry Wyatt, the other survivor
who has told his story, did not give
his address.
II was in the Denver sleeping
car" McQuaid said to his wife,
when the crash came. The car

the car Noticing the lights in the
distance / started for them. /

fields.

"I at first thought was the only
one out of the whole train who
managed to escape alive. There
were five or six men in the smoking
compartment ahead of me. It is al
most certain they were drowned.
They couldn't possibly have gotten
out of that place.
Wyatt dramatically told of how ne
saw few men and women struggle
through windows and doors of the
coaches, climb to the top and cling
there while the water swished about
the train. -.l -
'They hung there and screamed
for. help" he said, while the water

people. 1t was a torrent. No man
could swim it,
Telling OF the crash, Wyatt said:
"The train. seemed to slow up very
suddenly. Then the rear end of the
car suddenly shot up and the front
end plunged down and there we
stopped. There didn't seem to be
any confusion as yet.

to questioning of the ticket agent
here. He said sixty-six persons had
