At least thirty-two men were killed and parts ot their bodies strewn for blocks around when a big passenger cugino in tho Southern Pacific shops blew up here this morning. The engine stood in a square formed by the coppor-house, coppor-house, blacksmith shop and roundhouse, round-house, all of which wero wrecked. A part of the locomotive crashed into a house several blocks away and seriously seri-ously hurt a woman. Twenty of the bodies have been identified, but what is believed to be t,welc more, is little more than a tangled mass of fragmonts of human flesh and bones that probably never will be separated. i neso iragmuiub uiu iuuuu Jammed into crevices nbout the building build-ing wrecked, In the street and on-tanglod on-tanglod In machinery of the shops. Tho shops have been manned for several weeks by strikebreakers imported im-ported when shopmen of tho Harri-inan Harri-inan lines went out. It is believed most of the killed are from the north and ca&t. Caused by Carelessness. It is believed the explosion was caused by carelessness of some one of the men killed, in allowing cold water to flow Into tho hot boiler of the locomothc. The engine wns No. 701 and was practicallj new. It was in the shop for inspection It ' was of the large Mogul type. Besides the thirty-two believed to have been killed, flft persons woro injured. These for tho most part woro in remote sections of the buildings wrecked, for those close lo the on- ' ginc or in the main parts ot tho building build-ing cither we.re killed by tho blatt or crushed by falling material when the ' buildings crumbled. The monetary loss will be about $200,000. Freaks of the terrific Impact were many but one of the most strange is that the driving wheels of the engine wero not disturbed while parts of tho huge locomotive wero driven blocks. Tho large wheels apparently did not budge no In 1S83 and they Jived together until about a car ago.
