Both trains were ruaninjr tt high speed when the collision occurred, but toe force of the collision was apparently appar-ently felt more hj the heavy westbound west-bound train, the Colorado limited, which was made up of a bag-raga ead express ear, day coach, diner, two tourist tour-ist sleepers, a Pullman alee'per and aa observation ear. The day coach was reduced to splinters, and in this coach most of the casualties occurred. One of the tourist sleepers, containing members of the Denver Western league baseball team, waa thrown on its side and n number of th occupants, including includ-ing President James McOill, were injured, in-jured, but none seriously. The baggage car was also overturned. . Both engines were redueed to a mass of twisted steel, in which were man- gled bodies of the engineers and firemen. fire-men. As soon at newt of the wreck reached McCook two relief trains, carrying sur- feont aad nurses, were made up and urried to the scene of the wreck. The dead and injured wil be brought here. It will be several hours before the track can be cleared. The cause of the aceldent hag not been learned, but it it reported that a misunderstanding of orders occurred. |
