Show cab could not see It around the front of his engine. He whistled four times for the clear signal and got tho board. The agent in the station house (.bowed a clear track, so he hummed right along and did not put on the air till he hit the switch and knew be was n the wrong track with the freight waiting foT him head on. "The passenger brakeman was stand ing on the front steps of the smoker with his lantern looking out ahead to see If the signal waji O. K. It was, and ho was Just coming back up the step when tho car hit the switch. The jerk threw his light and cap twenty twen-ty feet out from the car and tossed him up on the platform How it happened hap-pened ho did not know, as he was knocked senseless for a moment Looks like naturally he would have gone the same way the lantern and his hut did. "The people in the Pullmans were awakened, of course, but not shaken ip much, as they had plenty of spaco to stop in, because the three cars ( ahead of the smoker 6ort of doubled up crosways of the track, but off to I one side. The second car was lifted bodily over the parallel tracks. The ' were of steel, while tbp smoker was of wood, and If those three cars had not gone out of our way those Pullmans Pull-mans behind us would have telescoped telescop-ed the wooden smoker and killed every ev-ery man In it. "All paid and done, it was a pretty lucky accident. The wav we hit was enough to have wrecked the whole train and killed a lot more than it did. Yc got out fortunately with only four dead. It looked for a moment as if it were thirty. And the man farthest farth-est from the wreck, way off there half a mile at the end of the freight train, 1 was hurl the most, while one of the men on the passenger engine escaped alive. II seems just a matter of luck who got hurt and who didn't." EXPERIENCES IN THE WRECK "I was asleep in the smoker, the fourth car back from the engine, when the crash came," said W. R. Dennis, a prominent sheepman of Heber, Utah, on Monday night. "Was curled up In a seat when the air brakes went on and tho Jerk threw mo forward to thi floor. I picked myself up and was Just getting Into the seat again when the engines hit. It seemed to be about len seconds. Tho jolt threw me to the floor again, and when I tried to gain my feet again tho bouncing up and down of the smoker on Its springs threw me down again. Finally Final-ly I got to my feet and left the car to see what was up. "The smoker had not left the rails, and all the cars behind us were also all rl?hL The three cars ahead were all over on their sides, off to one side of the track the baggage and two mall cars. The trucks of the engine and all the wrecked passenger car trucks were plied In a heap on the other aide of the track. The passenger engine was knocked nearly to pieces, while the freight engine was standing on Its nose with the cab about twenty-five twenty-five 'eet up In the air, the engine boii er being at about an angle of 45 decrees. de-crees. "Out of the cab window hung the body of the dead engineer. His neck, we found later, was broken, probably because Ihe shock threw him back against the cab so that the edge of the window hit him just under the ear. A pathetic, thing was that his own son was one of the brakemen on the passenger train that caused his death. The son found his father hanging there. ' The tender of the freight engin' had been knocked entirely over the first coal car of the freight train and was on top of the second car. The trucks of both freight engine and tender ten-der were jammed back under the tilt ed up boiler. "The fireman of the freight (Brid-cnbecker) (Brid-cnbecker) would have leen all right probably if he had staed In his cab, the very place where the engineer was killed Instantly.' The fireman Jumped through that window twenty-five feet up in the air and landed on the frozen ground. The impact broke his ankle and threw him forward so thai his head hil a rail and tore the skin from one tide of his face. He may be injured in-jured internally; It is too soon to tell ceitninly one way or the other. "The freight brakeman (Kroll) was down between two steel coal cars way at the rear of the train, fixing something, some-thing, apparently. The freight was fully hall a mile long.' and so far as I could see every draw head was stove in, jamming each steel car flat enn to-end tight against the one behind IL The brakeman was enly one car from the caboose, and his bodv was smashed flat between the two cars. He was not over an Inch thick, crushed crush-ed to a pvip, and probably never knew what hit him. "The fireman hurt on the passenger passen-ger (Bixler) was scalded We found him over near that pile of trucks 1 j spoke of.where he had rolled and wrlg j gled in 1i!h pain. He was oiit of his head part of the time and died about five minutes after we got him fixed up. 1 have had some experience helping the doctor in Heber, so helped take care of him. We had to cut his clothing cloth-ing off of him, and all the head and breast was cooked by the hot water or steam. Part of his hair came off, and there were scalds In rings around his legs like bands. After we had bis wounds dressed the doctor whispered lo me that he was dying, so I walked away. "The railroad men did everything thev could, both those In the wreck and those who came on the relief train. They parsed blanks through the train on the way to Ozden and a-sked each of us to write out our account ac-count of the wreck, if we were hurt in any way, and If not to say so on the blank. 1 was not hurt at all and said so. They did everything there was to be doiv-, and so did the passengers. passen-gers. Everybody did, but most of us could not do much. We picked up the wounded, fixed their hurts, attended at-tended to the dead, put them on the train and came on to Ogden.
