ITazlkion, Til., Sept. 11. The strike
oltuntlon reached a terrible crisis on
the outskirts of La timer yesterday
afternoon, when a hand of deputy
nheriflY. fired into a mob of Hungarian
miners. Tho men fell Mice sheep and
the excitement has since been so in
tense tliut no accurate figures of dead
und wounded can he obtained, Re
ports run from 15 to 'JO odd killed and
40 or more wounded. One man who
reached the scene lust night counted
III corpses. Knur other bodies lie in
4,ho mountains between Latimer iiuil
llarleigh. Those who were not injured
earned their dead and wounded friends
into the woods, and "Uiiuute is bullied.
The strikers left Ilaleton about il.KO
o'clock tlih afternoon, and it was their
Intention to go to Latimer. As soon as
(Ills became known, a band of deputies
was loaded on a trolley ear and went
whirling across the mountain to tho
ceno where the bloody conflict fol
lowed. After reaching Latimer, they
left the ear and formed into three com
panies. Shcriir .Martin was in entire
command, ami stood In the front of tho
line until the strikers approached.
They were seen coming across the
ridge, and Martin went out to meet
them. Tho men drew up suddenly,
mid listened in silence until he had
once more read the riot act. This fin
ished, a low muttering arose among
tho foreigners, and there was a slight
movement forward. Perceiving this,
tho Hhcrlll' stepped toward them and,
in a determined tone, forbade ad
vance. Some one struck the shoritr,
and tho next moment there was nun m
.inainl to the deputies to tire.
tl'he guns of the deputies instantly
bolchod forth a terrible volley. Tho
report seemed to shako the very moun
tains, and a cry of dismay went up
.from tho people. The strikers were
taken entirely by surprise, and as the
men toppled and fell over each other,
those who remained unhurt stampeded.
Tho mon wont down before the storm
of bullets like tenpins and tho groans
of tho dying and wounded filled tho
.air. Tho excitement that followed
was simply indescribable. The depu
ties seemed to bo terror-stricken at tho
deadly execution of their guns and,
seeing tho living strikers Jleeing like
wild, and others dropping to the earth,
they went to the aid of the unfor
.ittuuilcs whom they had brought down.

Nkwcabii.k, Col., Sept. l.'i. Krank
Hurbimk, conductor, and Engineer
Ostrander, deceased, of the Colorado
Midland railway, aro charged by tho
coroner's jury with being responsible
for the frightful wreck which occurred
hero Thurs'' y night. Tho jury de
cided from tho evidence that tho con
ductor and engineer attempted to ar
rive at Newcastle siding upon tho
time allotted by order of train dis
patcher to the llio Grande passenger
westbound. Conductor Iturbank was
released upon his own recognizance.
The death of Rev. Alexander llartman,
of Ilerseher, 111., and the finding of
tho body of Engineer Ostrander in
creases the number of known dead to
11. The coroner's researches among
this ruins have convinced him that
from six to ten more met death in tho
awful accident. This materially re
duces the original estimates.

KxiPoitiA, Ium., ScpL 0. Ten nre
dead and 17 aro injured, some of them
fatally, as tho result of a head-end col
lision of two of tho fastest trains in
the .Santa Ke service at 7:30 last night.
Tho fast mall train, castbound, and
tho California and Mexico express,
westbound, crashed together on a
curve three miles east of Emporia.
The engines exploded, tearing an im
mense hole in the earth into which
the baggage and mail cars plunged
and weru consumed by fire. The list
of tho dead are:

Ilmv tho Wreck Occurred.
The wreck was caused by the mis
carriage of orders from tho trainmas
ter. The conductor of the castbound
train was ordered at Emporia to meet
and pass the California flyer at Lang,
seven miles cast. An order sent to
Lang to the conductor of the westbound
train for him to wait there was not
delivered and he supposed ho was to
pass at Emporia. Each train was hur
rying onu to Emporia, the other to
Lang and mot at full speed on the
main line. The westbound train was
making not less than 40 miles an hour
when tho wreck occurred. The express
train was drawn by two locomotives
and when thoy struck the fust mail all
three of the engines exploded and tore a
hole in the track so deep that tho smok
ing car of tho westbound train went
on top of tho wreck of the three en
gines and two mail cars, and balanced
there without turning over. Those in
this car who escaped through the win
dows came very near turning the car
over, In which event the fatality would
have been much greater, as this car
soon caught flro from tho exploded en
gines underneath it and burned to
asheh in no time. In jumping out of
the windows one or two aro known to
have fallen into the burning debris
underneath and their fate is unknown.
There were not more than a dozen
passengers in the fast mail, all in ono
conch, and while none of thorn were
seriously injured, the slinking up was
terrible. Every seat was torn from its
lloor fastenings with such force that
many of them pulled planks from tho
lloor with them.
lirjnn One of the I'lisHcnirers.
On the west bound train was W. J.
Hryan and T. M. Potter. l!oth mon
did splendid work in the work of res
cue. Mr. ltryan assisted in carrying
out of the wreckage two postal clerks,
lie was by the side of Engineer Kris
bee and helped attend him until tho
doctors and relief train arrived from
Emporia.
rlrv Addx to the Horror.
The dead and mangled bodies of four
victims wore dragged to the grass be
side the tracks. The women passen
gers huddled in terror and watched
the Humes grow higher and higher.
As the lire roared and crackled like sv
furnace, men with blanched faces
fought with the bravery of he
roes to subdue it, but thoy were
working under the most ad
verse circumstances, and it seemed
that thoy would be unable to
stay the course of the lire fiend.
Tho flames at oitu time rose to such a
height that they could be seen in Em
poria, tli ree miles uway. After her
culean work, they were subdued.
Trains over the Santa Ke will be run
by way of Ottawa for a few days. Tho
cost of the wreck to the railway is esti
mated at $100,0(M.

AN APPALLING RECORD.

Kansas Citv, Mo., Sept. 10. The
deaths in railway wrecks among tho
postal clerks slnco .January in the ter
ritory tributary to Kansas City has ex
ceeded the record for any year in tho
history of tho department. The list of
dead and Injured clerks hns reached
an appalling number and has demon
strated to the clerks the very great
danger to which they are con
stantly exposed. Tho first serious
wreck and fatality of tho year
In this district was March fi on
tho Missouri Pacific, east of Jeltersor:
City, in which Clerk W. A. Kosonbergcr
was cremated and Clerks E. S. Vance
and C. II. Nouek were injured. Tho
next one was the awful wreck on tho
Wabash, dune 5J0, in which the whole
postal crow lost their lives. K. W.
llrink, G. A. Smith, Jr., .1. W. Sal
wenter and W. S. Mills were killed.
August !i the Union Pacific trt'iu was
wrecked near Denver and J. E. Held
and W. II. Rankin were both
seriously injured. Their escape
from Instant death was almost mirac
ulous. August 0, G. II. Edgeworth, a
clerk, was seriously hurt at llur
lingnme, Kan., and now the wreck at
Emporia, with two clerks dead and
three badly hurt, completes tho list to
date. Tho records of tho department
show no equal to the awful mortality
of tho present year. The danger to
the clerks is from wreck and fire. The
fear of cremation is their one great
dread.

Empokia, Kan. Sept. 10. The charred
remains of five human beings were
discovered by the wrecking crow which
is clearing away tho debris of tho ter
rible wreck on tho Santa Ke Wednes
day night. It is impossible to identify
any of them, but thoy are supposed to
he the two firemen, Ed Gunsuully and
lien Walters; J. K. Suiter, tho express
messenger; Harvey Kowler, of Empo
ria, and a tramp. Six bodies were re
covered last night, and Hrakeman Van
Clove died this morning while en route
to tho hospital, so that the list of dead
now number 12.
Two unknown, one of whom is un
doubtedly Harvey Kowler, a farmer, of
Emporia, who is missing. The other
is thought to be a tramp. It is barely
possible that tho burned and blackened
remains taken from the wreck may be
of only four persons, in which event
the death list would number but 11,
and there would be but ono "unknown"
to account for.

AWFUL IIAVOU.
A Colorado Train Wreck Results in
Terrible Disaster.
Thirty l'coplo Demi mid Nearly JJOO Injured
ninny rnMcnurrn tiro Consumed by
riniiicn Aftor tlin Wreck Con
ductor Under Arrest.
Xi'AVCABi't.K, Col., Sept. 11. Tho
worst wreck in the history of the state
of Colorado occurred tit 12:23 yester
day morning on tho joint track of tho
Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado
Midland railways, XA miles west of
here. After 12 Jiours' incessant work
by the wrecking crows in clearing
away the debris and rescuing tho
bodies of those who perished, it is yet
impossible to secure more than an es
timate of the loss of life, and not even
those known to be dead have been
identified. Many of the unfortunates
will never be known, and it is possible
that tho number killed will always bo
in doubt. Prom thu best information
obtainable now fully :J0 persons are be
lieved to have perished, while 1S3 who
came out of thu wreck alive aro buffer
ing from serious Injuries.
Tho wreck was caused by a head-end
collision between a Denver & Rio
Grande passenger train, running at the
rate of 10 miles tin hour, and a special
Colorado Midland stock train, running
ataspecd of probably t!0 miles an hour.
So terrific was tho concussion that
both engines, baggage and express
cars, smoker and day coaches and two
stock cars were totally demolished and
the trade torn up for rods in each di
rection. To add to the horror of tho
boene, tho wreckage at once caught
lire from an explosion of a Pintsoh gas
tank on the passenger train, and
burned so rapidly that many passen
gers, pinned beneath the debris, were
burned to death before help could
reach them.
Tho most generally accepted theory
as to the cause of the wreck is that
Conductor Hurbank, of tho Midland
special, anticipating the time of tho
passenger, undertook to "steal a sta
tion" and beat the passenger into New
castle. Hurbank escaped uninjured,
and, upon orders from Coroner Clark,
has been placed under arrest by the
sheriff. Midland Engineer Ostrander
is missing, and a thorough search all
about his engine fails to reveal any
vestige of his remains. It is thought
that when he saw tho threatened dan
ger he jumped from his engine, and,
realizing his negligence, took to the
hills.
Mr. and Mrs. E. II. Strouse, who live
one-fourth of a mile from the scene of
the accident, report that when tho
two trains met tho shock was so great
tis to literally hurl them out of bed.
Some say tho noise was heard and tho
shock felt in Newcastle. Charred
fragments of limbs and bodies of a
number of persons have been taken
out of tho ruins, but it is not likely
that any more bodies will be positively
identified, and it seems certain that
the number killed will remain in
doubt.
DEATH LIST GROWING.
Three More Victims of tho S.mti I'o
Wreck, SIiikIiik 15 In All.
Empoima, Kan, Sept. 11. Three more
victims of Wednesday night's awful
Santa Ke disaster were found in the
debris by tho wrecking crew vester
day. The bodies are so badly mutilat
ed that identification has been impos
sible. These, with tho death of En
gineer William Prisbeo at Topeka,
make the total number killed in
tho wreck 13. Conductor Wil
son, who is in charge of tho
wrecking crew, expresses the be
lief that several more bodies will be
found when tho wreckage is cleared
away. One of the charred remains re
covered is that of ti woman. It was
found early in tho afternoon. There
was not enough of the body to identify
except that it was a woman, as shown
by tho bust and corsets. A telegram
was received yesterday from Chicago,
signed Good row, asking if his wife
had escaped the wreck uninjured, and
it is thought the remains maybe those
of tho woman inquired for.
