Show Thursday, July 1907 THE c great explosion of curred. Passengers on the train, who did not know the cause of the delay, were when the was report heard, and the rush of air currents broke every- - pane of glass on the train. Women screamed and one girl jumped through an open window to the ground. She was not injured beyond a few slight bruises. Afitier the Lagoon train had been stopped, Conductor Frank Bailey rushed across the tracks to flag an Oregon Short Line train that was due. Jle badr just placed the warning torpedoes on the track and was climbing a fence near his own train when the explosion occurred. He was thrown from ithe fence and rolled down the hill, being severely cut by stones and pebbles as wrell as badly shaken by the shock. The Ore-go- n Short Line was brought to a stop in plenty of timfe to avoid danger. After the explosion the Lagoon train backed into Salt Lake City. Those at the Lagoon were taken to the scene of the and then transferred to another train and brought back home. It will be a day or two before the roadbed is repaired, ac cording to Superintendent Pierson of the Short Line.

A hole nearly 100 yards long and twenty feet deep was torn1 into the earth, completely burying the remnants of two of the care, even to the trucks. The other two cars were hurled off the tracks and burned up. Debris from the explosion in the shape of stones, splinters and bits of iron were hurled half a mile in either direction.

The powder that exploded was the property of the Strevell-Pat-erso- n company, 124 South "West Temple street, and was on the Oregon ShortLine siding preparatory to being stored in the magazine a short distance away. There were three cars of giant powder and one ob black on the track, which, is between the regular passenger line of the Ofegon Shoit Line and the lines of the Lagoon road and the Rio Grande. A number, of men were working along the tracks and did not notice the start of the fire in the brush along the track until it had spread to the powder cars.

This was a slight one, hut but it aroused Mrs. Olson, whe hurried to the scene in tim to warn ithe Lagoon train. The first explosion occurred about 3:30 oclock in the afternoon.

Bingham, July 2. A runaway train of 15 loaded cars of ore was responsible for two deaths and four men injured on the main line of the Denver & Rio GrandO between Bingham and Bingham Junction at an early hour this morning. An unknown man was killed instanitly and Pat Cahill of Park City, is dying hlowly, while Engineer Irvine is badly hurt. Just how the accident occurred has not been satisfactorily yet, but the opinion of the train crew it that the air had been tampered with and when it became necessary to set tthe brakes the shoes failed to grip the wheels. With increasing momentum the big train plunged down the canyon while the crew valiantly raced along the top of the cars and did their best to screw down the hand brakes. As soon as it was evident that the train was out of control and could not be checked the crew started to jump and as each man struck Rhe grade he was more or less injured. The engineer, fireman, conductor and brakemen left the bouncing train at intervals. Owing to the fact that there is no telephone within two miles of the scene of the wreck details received here so far are meager and until the wrecking crew returns no definite information will be forthcoming. At the Revere switch, a point about nine miles from Bingham, the runaway smashed into a light engine ithat was coming into the grade. With terrific impact all the cars left the tracks and piled up in a heap. Cahill was one of the men in search of work; He, with others, had applied at the mines for employment and npon being told the various forces were complete the men jumped on the train, intending to ride down to town. Cahill has a wife and two children livin ing in Park City. That death his case was not instantaneous is a surprise to those on ithe scene of the wreck as one of his arms was broken; his ribs were crushed in and he sustained exceedingly severe internal injuries. lie was under the pile of care when found and some difficulty was encountered in removing him. The second man was still under the wreckage when the last message was received from the scene and the res cuers were having no end of trouble in lifting the mass of twisted iron, steel and splintered wood from the lifeless mody to permit it being brought out. The dead man beneath the train was unidentified up until a late hour this afternoon. Two of the injured were tak en to the Murray general hospital in surreys reaching there shortly before 2' oclock.
