En gineer Hlnman was found with his watch still running, a few feet further down the stream: And since tho sun rose over the drenched land, stretchers with sund-cov-ered, dripping burdens were carried every few minutes to the railroad tracks where the death train .awaited them.' While It wns st'H dark axes had been used on tho half burled cars at the junction of the creek with the fountain, and at daylight this work was resumed on the smoking cor, which lay out In the fountain, where men were compelled to wade almost to their walHts to reach it.

A second party further down the river found several- persons entangled In a mass of debris", ' thought to have been part of the baggage car, , which was literally torn to plcea. In a short time a large number of bodies were dug out of the sand here. One woman was completely burled, save one foot, which stuck above the water. Several .bodies were found lodged In the shrubbery along the banks, others. In the wreckage In mid stream and many half burled with only an arm or a bit of cloth, lng to reveal their whereabouts. It required eight strong men to lift the water-soaked body of one woman to the shore, and a skirt and hat found on the bank could scarcely be lifted with the fingers of one hand. Many of the bodies were almost naked, the clothing having been torn completely off. Many of them were slightly bruised, probably from the first shock of the wreck, but there was little blood visible when they were removed from the stream. The hands and faces were blue and translucent. . An almost general thing with all the bodies was that the hands were raised when they were laid on thier backs, but all appeared In good condition. Without doubt tho great majority were drowned like rats in a trap when the cars plunged without a moment's warning Into tho whirling water thirty feet, deep, 100 feet wide and with a current strong enough to carry thousands of pounds of weight nearly a mile before subsiding. Had a Remarkable Escape. The most remarkable escape from death that tho railroad officials have yet learned In connection with tho wreck was that of J. M. Klllln, a well-known hardware Wer-t chant, who was one of three ocoupanta of tho chair car who came out of tho wreck alive. Mr. Klllln was badly cut about tho head, arms and body but no bones were broken and ho wl'.l bo entirety recovers! within a. few days If no serious complica tions ensue. His escape was due entirely, he believes, to his ability aa a swimmer, his groat strength and his presence of mind which led him to hold his breath while ho waa submerged with the other passengers In the water. "When the first crash cams we were riding along, as smooth as one could go," said Mr. Klllln, "It was just as though the train had struck against a stone wall. Tho lights went out, tho fixtures and everything fell down, all the passengers were thrown forward and there were the most awful cries for help and the grinding of timbers. I saw the man next me waa down and I helped htm up, but Just then another crash came and then tho train seemed to sink about five feet. I lost eight of everybody and could hot think ot anything but to save myself.' "I remember well the sensations that I had at that time. I knew I was In ter rible danger and my first thought was that I must get from the car. - At tho second crash 1 was about up to my waist in water. All the' time the grinding and crushing of timbers was going on. In an other crash I was thrown about a third of the length of the car right up against the front door. I grabbed the top ot the door and tho car wont over in the water three times. Held Ilia Breath. "My first Instinct when the water went up over my head waa to fiold my breath. I think I was under water for a ful minute. The car naturally righted and when It came up the water was just about to my lips. I could breathe all right and saw that the transom was just above me. With my right hand I smashed out tho glass, hoping I could get out In that way, "At that moment another crash came and I was struck In the forehead by some floating object and daaed, but managed to keep my head above tho water, and after a terrltlo struggle reached the shore." Fireman Tells Ills ktorr. Fireman Mayfleld upon his arrival here waa the first person to give any details of the awful wreck. Ho Is dazed and almost Insune because of the awful ordeal ho passed through, yet each little Incident is fixed so firmly In his mind that lie will remember them until his dying day. "It all happened so quickly and my God, It Is so terrible," he txclulmed. Con tinuing he said: It had been raining all evening and we hail hard time 10 keep tne alism uu In oruer to run on acheuule lime.

Dniwessl, superintendent of the din ing car service of the . tenver St Rio Grande, one of the survivors, had narrow escape. "I waa sitting In the front end of the forward sleeper, Wyuta," he said, "near Ihe door. The train had slowed up on ac count of tho bad condition of the tracks, and I think we were going about fifteen miles an hour, when all at once I felt a heavy jolt, then a terrific crash and our car turned almost on 1U front end. I runhed to the platform and saw before me nothing but a black.- rnglng torrent, with three coaches whirling down the stream. It was horrible, horrible. I have never experienced anything like the. awful sensation that came over me when I law the cars, packed with human brings, float ing down the raging flood. The, water was rushing .against the banks with terri ble velocity and no tinman being, It seemed to me, could ever withstand that awful current.. ,. , "Btrangel'y enough, there was hardly any screaming. I listened , to ' hear the cries, but It was all over In a moment, and the coaches whirled away down tho stream with their loads of human beings. AppaH ently the people were swallowed up In the flood, the water surging Into the coaches and drowning them instantly. There was not a sound. I heard no calls for help. "I reached tha bank and Joined with those -who were trying to rescue the lost. I worked as best I could, but hope I shall never e anything like this again. It was terrible; It waa terrible!" ' Idenrtflcatlon la Slow. When brought ashore the bodies were placed on the ground and covered, but persona who wished to look at them were allowed to do so for tho purpose of Identifi cation. A baggage car was kept running between the city and tho wreck, bringing In those who were found. A number of wagons were finally pressed into the serv ice to haurthe bodies to tho tracks, leav ing tho searchers free to continue tho hunt for others. Some searchers worked all night and all day and never once thought ofeatlng or resting. Persons we're constantly arriving and anxiously Inquiring for lost ones known to have been on the train. By 9 o'clock this morning the plains were dotted with ve hicles, each with Its load of anxious or tho morbidly curious. More than a thou sand persons were on tho scene two hours before noon and the roads in every direc tion were filled with streams of others coming away. Bodies recovered were Identified very slowly, because many of them were those of strangers here, who had been to tho fair at St. Louts and other eastern points. Major F. H. Whitman of Kansas was Identified by a watch presentej to him by the members of the Twentieth Kansas volunteers In 1 which his name was en graved. Tha wrecking crews were under tho di rection' of Superintendent R. II. Bowren and Assistant Superintendent W. E. Miller of the Denver & Rio Grande, and Superin tendent R, II. Dyer of the Missouri Pa cific, who made every effort to recover the bodies of all the victims. They were as sisted by Chief of Police H. M. Shoup and a force of officers from tho city. . .The Fountain river still, rushes with tho Impetus of the flood. The Arroyo has a clear, tiny stream trickling along where the fatal mass of water rushed a-few hours before. The earth on either side, Is swept clean by the flood. ' Train Was Late. Tho walla of tho so-called Dry creek are rugged, irregular, caving and widened, but 9tHl so narrow that it Is almost imposjilblo to .understand how the great -coaches, the baggage car and tender could have been swept so far without becoming lodged against the sides. Most of the bed of tho craek Is now visible, with little streams weaving about the strips of sand, form ing islands of mud and sand, which are being aearched for bodies that may lie burled In them. E. M. Jones, the station agent at Eden, who was tho first to go to the aid of tho stricken people, gives the following version of the accident: "I was sitting In my offlco, a distance of a mile from tho scene of tho wrack, when suddenly a loud noise, followed by a series of smaller reports, startled me. I had heard of No. 11 passing; Plnon from the operator there, and at this time it was overdue more than six minutes, an un usual thing, for tho train Is a flyer. Be coming thoroughly alarmed I seized my lantern and ran up the track to tho place where tho bridge should have been. "The faint rays of my lantern threw Just enough light for me to distinguish three cars, but between myself and them there was a chasm fully fifty feet wide through which dashed a river almost level with the ground upon which I stood. Op posite me I could make out tho outlines of three cars, but tho other four that usually make up No. 11 were nowhere in sight.' Swims to Wrecked Car. "I started across the Mesa in the direc tion of the river, which waa high and making much noise. After walking about half a mile I saw near tho bank a dark object. It was almost stationary in mid stream, with one end swinging toward tho left bank. I alipped off my clethes and plunged In, swimming In the direction In which I come, as I knew the strung cur rent would carry me down stream. By proceeding In this course I managed to get to the object, which proved to- bo a chair car. half on its side and held In position by an arm of land extending Into the stream probably fifteen, feet. Tho roof of. the car was gone and InsUle there waa not a soul to bo found. Qulded -by the light of my lantern on shore, I struck out for tho bank and being a strong swimmer . I reached It In a few moments. This car, or what waa left of it, broke loose and was completely demolished. It was then after midnight. "There were two survivors of the wreck thit I knew of, the fireman and a passen ger In a chair car. Ills story he told me In a dased manner, for the man waa really bordering on lunacy. It seems he was sit ting In the third chair from the rear of tho car when the train turned upward and the suddenness precipitated him through the window, und after turning a complete circle landed htm on the bank." Bridge Considered Safe. Trains Nob. I and S3, preceding No. 11, passed over the brldgo and reached Pueblo safely. The rains had been severe, but officials did not apprehend any danger at Dry creek, aa a recent inspection showed that the bridge was in flrst-cluss condition. No reports of trouble on the line were re ceived until the message was received at Pueblo at o'clock that train No. U had been wrecked. Just prior to (hat time there were reports that a heavy rainfall waa In progress In the vicinity of Kdeu, but there waa no Intimation of a cloud burst. Bo far aa the officials of the road can determine tha engineer evidently did not see the trouble until It was too lute to stop the train, which was going at a high rata of speed, - Whether the engine and the torrent of water from tho cloudbir.-et struck the bridge simultaneously, or the torrent had already undermined the structure Is not known, but the reports say that the air waa turned on and that this saved the diner and sleepers from bring precipitated Into the creek. When the baggage car, smoker and chair car left the track and, plunged Into the stream they were swept down by the cur- , V., . W .. .. w , ned them and the volume of water can be understood when It was reported by Super intendent Bowren that Uiey were carried four miles before they rsn ashore. The three cars were, found near each other. It Is reported that there were ICO passen gers In the three cnr That went down. Chief plspstchef Butler states that Is about a correct estimate of the number. It Is probable that a complete-Mat of the dead will never" be made known. The conduc tor's reports were on his person and have not been recovered. rorter'e Thrilling; Esperleoee. EDEN, Colo., Aug. I.-W. Vance, porter on the forward sleeping car Wutya, was one of the heroes ot the disaster. To him and Ms nftva and bravery the persons or. that car owe their lives.

The forward oars ' broke from the sleeper and fe.il Into the water, while tho car which Vance had held with the brake slipped one-thTrd of th way on tho brink of the thasm'overhanglng the gulch below. The forward; trunks had left the track and gone down, but. the remainder of tho coach stayed -dn the track and the lives of the passengers were saved. It required two engines anS nearly a half hour's work to pull this 'sleeper baoJc from the brink of the chasm. "Nothing but Vance's cool and brave work at the brakes kept the car from plunging Into the atream. DENVER, Colo,, Aug. 8. General Pas senger Agent 8. K.

The union teamsters are to be the principal weapon upon which tho labor leaders propose to use to win the stock yards strike. Orders were Issued today to drivers of Ice wagons to deliver no more Ice to butchors who buy of the big packers or to any of the branch houses of the packing plants where the men are now on strike. A list of more than 200 retail dealers who have been buying moat from the so-called trust packers and haul ing it away with their own wagons has been compiled, and according to the claims of the strike leaders the Ice supply will be cut off from every one of theso places to morrow morning. Arrangements have been made to have pickets stationed at all the retail markets which have been placed under the ban of the union, to seo that the boyoott Is forced to the limit Today's order prohibiting ice deliveries to the retailers is a duplication of the one issued last week, but which was never en forced, because It had not been sanctioned by the International officers of the Team sters' union. At Cincinnati, where the International Brotherhood of Teamsters was In session today, the necessary Indorse ment of the proposed boycott was given and the belated order will be put In force tomorrow morning. few More Workmen. All the packing plants began operations here today with slightly Increased forces of workmen, nearly additional employes having been secured over Sunday. Nearly all the new men who left the yards Satur day night to spend Sunday at their, homes returned to work this morning. Among those who reported for duty today were a considerable number of tho strikers. The live stock receipts, consisting of 19,000 cattle, 36,000 hogs and 20,000 sheep, were nearly all bought up by the packers today. Additional police were ordered to report to the stock yards station tomorrow morn ing to aid in protecting a Lake Shore Ik Michigan Southern train, which Is ex pected to arrive with 700 strike breakers, said to include between 200 and 300 skilled workmen. Strike an Aid to Socialism. President Donnelly of tho National Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen's union said today: "The packing house strike Is the greatest educator of socialism the west has ever experienced. From being unconscious so cialists, the workers are realizing that they are in reality a part ot tha great socialist movement. Tha harsh treatment meted out to,. the strikers by the, packers and the in human .conditions under which tliey' are willing to have men and women live and work 'in their,' slaughter houses have brought organised labqr to the conclusion that the propertied class has no hesitation in consigning the masses to a fate worse than that of slaves. Mr. Edward Ttlden's advocacy of child labor in the yards also has added fuel to the flames of socialism." .."Such a man aa Mr. Tllden," continued Mr. Donnelly, "with bis view ot the good of enslaving children, has no business on tho Board of Education.
