SWALLOWED BY UICK8AND. Mioy Bodies ef Victim of Wreck Will Never be Recovered. Developments indicate that the bodies of the missing victims of the wreck near Kdenr Colo., have boea suckod Into the quicksand and will novor bo recovered. It waa showa by the hoisting of tho wrecked engine that an Immense deposit of quicksand lay under the piers of the wrecked bridge, and it Is also believed there Is an underflow which has undoubtedly undoubted-ly carrlod bodies deep down in the sand, entirely out of sight where thev can never be recovered. Further Investigation reveale the fact that quicksand exists everywhere every-where along the river and this Is taken tak-en to explain the failure to tlnd a number num-ber of bodies. Careful rrlslon of the lists of dead and missing confirms the original estimate es-timate that not less than 100 lives were loot In the flood which wrecked tho Missouri Paclllc fast train on the Denver & Rio Grando railroad near Eden Sunday night Snveaty-nlns bodies have been recovered.
