DISASTER TO NOS 1 AND 14
flet in the Well Known Cut Two fliles West
of Akron Colorado
AND FATAL RESULTS FOLLOW
Mail Weigher Sherwood Killed Engineer Hardy and Fireman King
Scalded Mail Clerks All Slightly Injured Engines Badly
Wrecked Together with Parts of the Two
Trains Wrecking Trains Bitched
Sunday evening between five and six oclock passenger
trains Nos 1 and 14 were in a most disastrous head on col
lision about two miles west of Akron Colorado in a deep
well known cut between Akron and Xenia
George H Sherwood of Oxford Nebraska mail weigher on
train No 14 was instantly killed his body being badly mashed
Fireman Bud King of No I4s engine was so badly scald
ed that he died about midnight in Akron whether he was
moved as soon as possible after the wreck
Engineer Fred Hardy of No 14 was also badly scalded in
his cab by the bursting of a steam pipe He has been re
moved to St Lukes hospital Denver and is getting on nice
ly toward recovery
The mail clerks on No 1 were all slightly injured
None of the passengers on either train were injured all
escaping with a severe shaking up and some of them being
thrown from their seats
The engineer and fireman of No 1 jumped in time to es
cape serious injury being but slightly hurt in the act
Both engines were badly damaged the baggage car of 14
was smashed up the mail car on No 1 was considerably
wrecked and the cream car on No 14 suffered in the impact
Every car on No is train but the two rear sleepers was
thrown from the track
The engineer of train 1 noticed the approach of train 14
from the engines smoke and consequently had his train well
under control although going down a steep grade else the re
sult would have been different in the matter of both loss of
life and damages
A snowstorm was prevailing at the time of the accident
The accident is said to have been the result of failure on
the part of Agent J W Overstreet of Brush to deliver the
dispatchers order to train No 14 making Xenia a meeting
point for the two trains Overstreet was doing the work of
the regular operator who had been laid off for some reason
Engineer Hardy is said to have been given a release in
stead of the regular order which is supposed to hang on the
hook in the telegraph office The release gave No 14
the right-of-way to Akron when the regular order which was
not delivered named Xenia as a meeting point No 1 was
late and an effort was being made by the dispatchers office
to help her along
The wrecking car and train was at once dispatched from
McCook to the scene but it met disaster near Haigler by
running onto a broken rail ditching all the train but the en
gine and the big new wrecker and delaying the work of pick
ing up the wreck many hours Another train had to be eq
uipped here and sent up to Haigler to assist in picking up the
wreck
This fact and the snow and cold weather were additional
facts in making slow the labor of clearing the mass of wreck
age from the main line and opening for traffic again It was
not until about five oclock Tuesday morning that any pas
senger trains arrived in McCook from the west Trains from
the east were sent on as far as Akron however on about
schedule time
Passenger train No 6 Sunday night was sent around by
way of
A stub No 2 was made up at McCook Monday morning
and sent east on regular No 2s time
Other trains from the west Monday night were combined
arriving in McCook Tuesday morning at an early hour
running as sections of No 14 Regular No 2 was about
five hours late in arriving here Tuesday morning but there
after the regular schedules were made
Under all the circumstances it was fortunate for the com
pany that the results were not more serious
Two facts are measurably to be credited with the fortunate
outcome of the wreck The fact that No is speed had been
greatly reduced at the time the trains met and second the ex
ceptionally strong character of the equipment of these superb
passenger trains
Conductor A P Bonnot and Conductor J W Line both
of McCook were in charge of Nos 1 and 14 respectively
Engineer Hamilton was pulling No 1
The mail car on No 1 was badly mashed up and the escape
of the crew is one of the marvels of the remarkably fortunate
wreck All the clerks were slightly injured but none severe
ly or seriously C L Wright mail weigher lip cut E B
Holt postal clerk face cut and foot cut and bruised J H
Greene postal clerk thigh bruised E D Lamont bruised
Amos B Bower bruised Bower is a son of W E Bower
who lives a few miles south of McCook
