CREEK WHICH CAUSED
TRAIN WRECK DRIES UP,
SURRENDERS 9 BODIES
Victims of Disaster in Colorado Taken From
Pullman Coach After Water Recedes;
Searchers Expect to Find More.

STRATTON, Colo, July 10, U,R)
San Creek, which, fed by a cloud
burst, reached out long enough
yesterday to undermine a bridge
and spread death among the pass
engerS of a Rock Island and Pa
cific train, was just dry wash
again today.
Nine bodies had been recovered
today from the grotesquc wreckage
of a 12-car train which left the
rails when the 70-fo0t bridge across
the creek collapsed under the
pressure of the torrent of water
but Coroner o. Kinney said he be-
lieved more victims would be found.
The wreck occurred at am.
when the passengers were asleep.
One Pullman coach turned StdeWlSe
on the bridge and then dropped
into the raging torrent below, dis
appearing from sight. But one oc-
cupant of the car, E j. Perry of
New Bedford, Mass, who was
awake, escaped. He fought his way
through a window. CAUGHT a pass
ing timber. and gained the shore.
The next car noSe-dived into the
stream. Heroic work on the part of
several passengers in the Pullman
prevented additional loss of life as
the sleeping tourists were hurled
forward by the force of the impact.
Men, women and children, stunned
and drowning, we're dragged out
through windows to safety
Coroner Kinney. who plans to
hold an inquest today, said he be-
lieved the following persons lost
their lives:
Mrs. Ben Lewis, Mephis. Tenn
Harry Lewis, H. Memphis, Tenn.
Miss Mary Mcdonald, Florida.
Mrs. Jennie Fcltz, Memphis, Tenn
G.. S. Garlic, New York City.
Miss Julia Garlic. New York City.
T. B. johnson, Birmingham, Ala.
Brooks Cline Negro porter.
Unidentified Negro porter.
Search of the wreckage was be-
ing continued. The submerged
Pullman coach was half full of
sand, rocks and debris and progress
was slow, due to the fact that
wrecking apparatus could not come
close to either side of the wreck
because of the torn-up condition of
| the tracks.
Morris GeSt. famous New York
theatrical producer was a pass
enger on the train and was one
| of the first TO report the disaster
and narrate the details. He was not
! injured.
