Twenty-tw- o dead and twenty-tw- o injured is the very best estimate of the casual-tie- . in the wreck of the two Denver A Rio Grande passenger traina which collided on a curve at a point twenty-fiv- e mllea west of this ally early Friday morning. Only seven of. the dead' can be identified, and only one of these corpse retains sufficient outline of the features to be readily recognisable. The remainder are known from the fact that the location where the charred hones were found were the places where they would naturally have been when the collision happened. Two telegraph operators are held in the public mind to be responsible for the awful disaster, although no formal indictment haa gone out against them. Both have been ordered discharged corofrom the service of the road. ners jury has been empt nailed and will begin Investigating the cause of the accident on Monday seat, at Canon City. For an Inveetigatlen. v In addition to this, the railroad company haa directed lla olfirl.li to locate the blame through an examination of trainmen and operators, who will be asked to come together In the near future sad (ell what they know of the deplorable affair. It develops that R. G. Whitney, who was being escorted to the penitentiary by Deputy Sheriff Ed. B, Baird, had been chained to bis aeat and when the fire broke out In the wreckage, he had no chance whatever to escape. By the hand of fate his . guard perished with him. The laws of Colorado have a provision making K a crime to fasten prisoner in transportation to car saela. - As time goes incidents, thrilling and pathetic come to light The experience of O. C. Clark, a passenger on the west-bountrain la enough to excite the Interest of the most phlegmatic. Mr. Clark was standing upon the pisiform of one of the care that was destroyed by fire. He was talking with the negro porter when the crash came. The explosion of the gas tanka followed the collision closely and the force of the .blast picked up Clark and hurled him through the roof. The men sailed through the air clear of n the wreckage and landed on the from which he picked himself up practloally unhurt, .having sustained only a few bruises and concualona. The porter fell down into the wreckage and has not been seen since. Many Pathetic Stories. - A heart-rendinstory of mother love Is told by Conductor and Kroeger, who had charge of the Pulld train. mans on the "I saw one mother," he said, "with a little babe in' her arms.' She knew that it was almost an Impossibility 'to be saved herself, but her only thought was of her child. One hand was pinioned beneath the debris, but her head and the other arm was free. "8he was trying to keep her head from the flames, and with her free hand was holding the Infant ns high in the air as she could. Just as we were about to reach her she gave a gasp and fell back into the flames lth the babe." Late this afternoon word was received from the scene of the wreck that the head and upper portion of a human body had been found under a pile of coal dumped out of the tender of the engine of No. 16, hauling the d train. The lower part of the body htd been burned away. Both of the englnemra of No. 16 were killed and enough of their bodies had been found, it was thought, to Identify them. Just who could have been the victim who was crushed under the coal pile and perhaps lnstantly'lilled, Some believe th.t one 1. a puzzle. of tile passengers must have been thrown to the spot Indicated by the impact of the collision or breaking up of the cars and s miracle of escape was swiftly changed to certain death by the overturning of the engine tender. piling the coal on the prostrate form. g west-boun- . east-boun- TRUSTEES . agitation.
