Indeed, after discovering that the other train, was a stock train. 1 paid little attention to it I saw that medical assistance waa the first thing needed. There were two young women la my car, who offered their services and they worked unhesitatingly with the Injured. I really did not do much, but Ihcee other people did wonder. AU the people lu the sleepers worn bundled out to make room for the Injured from the wreck. We did not have much la the way of medical appliance but tore up sheets for bandages, stopped wound as well aa wa could and made tho Injured aa comfortable as possible. With one exception the people In the sleeper devoted themselves to the care ut tho wounded. That exception waa a man who would not give up hla berth. 1 told some men to Jerk him out.

Jle had. a big gun atrap ped on him and was apparently bound oa a hunting trip. Jle rescued a woman and a little girl, whom ho got out safely and then went back and climbed Into the wreck after nwre Injured, helping to get out a lot of people who were fastened down." This young man of whom Mr. Boll apok waa Harvey O. Parsons, a writer for tbe Topeka State Journal. He was bound for Oklahoma for a week's hunting, but turned back with the relief crew and with the Instinct of a dutiful reporter turned la a story of tha wreck aa he aaw 11. lie omitted, however, any reference to the heroic work done among the Injured by himself.
