Probably at no place save only this city
was there more anxiety on Saturday Anight
to learn the oxnct extent of the catastrophe
"rind * More s'orfnw yesterday when the hames
of the dead and wounded were learned than
nt the little town of Missouri Valley. The
town Is essentially n railroad center , the
shops of the Klkhorn system belnR located
thprn , and the Rlkhorn , the Sioux City &
Pacific and the Northwestern roads running
through there. A large proportion of the
main population are engaged In railroading
or In shop work , and It is not surprising ,
therefore , that a number of these attended
the annual reunion of the Union Pacific
pioneers.
Many went over to Logan on the excur
sion train , and many inoro drove over or
rode their bicycles to the picnic grounds.
The death list In Missouri Valley might have
been much larger hud not BO many gone to
the picnic by other routes than the railroad.
On Saturday night when It first became ru
mored throughout the town that the oxcur-
alon train had collided with a freight train
nnd that more than a scorn of persons had
been killed the excitement became Intense ,
fivcry available team In the place , and many
that would not bn considered available under
ordinary circumstances , were pressed Into
service. TliPie was tremendous anxiety not
only among the townsfolk , but as wull among
the many farmers llvlnr In tbo vicinity of
Missouri Valley , for th.ro wan scarcely n
farm house that had not Its representative
at the pioneers' picnic.
Many , perhaps the majority , managed by
Komi1 means or other to get over to the scene
of the wreck. Such at once tllreolcd their
energies to Mudlng their friends and after
ward to lending a band wherever aid was
nreeded. Those who wore compelled to re
main In Missouri Valley gathered ut the
Northwestern ptntlon and earnestly Implored
Borne nnws concerning the seriousness of
the disaster , and that such names of the
dead and wounded MS had been received bo
Klvi'n out. Hut their entreaties fell on deaf
cars , the Northwestern offlclals carrying out
their policy of strictest alienee to the letter.
For several hours many wore kept In need
less suspense concerning the HUfcty of their
friends , and during that time some things
that would not look well in print were said
Infests flio blood of humanity. It
appears in variiul forms , hut is'forectl
to yield to Mood's Surauparilln , which

ALL-AHSOUDINQ TOPIC.
Yesterday Missouri Valley appeared as n
city of the dead. There had not been many
of the town's citizens killed and Injured by
the wreck , but the loss of a few , especially
when they are popular among their fellow-
townsmen , means n good deal In n small
city. The churches were sllmly attended
and llttlo groups of men stood outside the
postodlco nnd the principal news stand all
day lon discussing the calamity. There
wcro m ny visitors in town. In the main at
tracted by a morbid curiosity , nnd on their
way to the scene of the wreck. Dut oven
the visit of the NYbrtiaka free sllvrr dele
gation with Its llryan badges nnd banners
could not draw the attention of the popu-
Inro away from the all absorbing thcrno of
the hour.
Among the people of Missouri Vallpy who
attended the picnic was \Valtpr Albert Jen
nings. He was killed nlmoat Instantly. He
was employed In the railroad holler shops.
Ho was 30 years old and leaves n wife and
n little girl of 3 years.
Charles Hlpinan , who was nlso killed ,
was one of the most popular boys of the
town. Ho was liked by everyone nnd his
death wns lamented by n large clrclo of
friends , especially among the younger folks.
He was 17 years old nnd had been employed
In the leading grocery store of the town.
It Is said that his mother had urged him
not to go to the picnic , feeling that some
harm might happen to him In such n great
crowd. Hlemnn's was the first body ex
amined by Dr. White nnd It was at once
declared that life was pxtlnct. His body
was ypsterdny afternoon removed to Doono.
There wns n rumor throughout the little
city yesterday nfternoon that n boy aged S
years had run nway from homo on Saturday
nnd had not been heard of wince. Many
supposed that he had gone to the picnic
and been killed on the leturn trip. Neither
his name nor nny confirmation of the re
port could bo secured.
William J. Summit , who sustained n frac
ture of the leg , was employed In the IxJIler
works on the Klkhorn road. He Is single
nnd la 32 years old. He boards nt the Ox
ford hotel , Missouri Valley , and la well
spoken of by his fellow townsmen.
James J. Fltzglbbon , who wua also In
jured , lives on liln father's' farm , about
four and one-half miles out of Missouri
Valley. Iio Is 28 years old and Is n fruit
tree ngent. His father's name Is Dennis
Fltzglbbon. A brother of the Injured man
was also on the trnln , but ns ho was fur
ther back In the train sustained no Injuries.
Fltzglbbon Is very popular among the Mis
souri Valley people.
L. Mack , whose name appears on the list
of the dead , Is n young man between 16
nnd 17 years of ago. He Is n son of Charles
Mack , who Is well known nmong railway
men of this city. The father wns for a long
term of years n passenger conductor on
the Union 1'aclllc and Is nt present em
ployed as a flagman nt n South Omaha
crossing.
John Perkins , who wns seriously Injured ,
Is n son of Harry 13. 1'crklns , clerk In the
Union Pacific headquarters. He resides with
his parents at 1442 North Nineteenth street.

The streets of Omaha presented n busy
scene all day yesterday and the usual Sun
day quietness wns conspicuous by Its ab
sence. Immense crowds gathered about the
undertaking establishments , where the bodies
ies of those killed In the wreck had been
taken , nnd It w.is necessary to call for po
licemen to keep the crowds from taking pos
session of these establishments. These
crowds were composed of the friends and
acquaintances of those who had been killed
and they ( nslsted upon belug allowed to view
the remains. As the bodies were badly
mingled in nearly every case and In such
condition that It required a large amount
of work to get them In condition to be even
presentable , the demands of those who
wished to sco them were almost Invariably
refused. This was particularly the case at
Heafpy & lleafey's , -where j Joven of the
bodies had been taken. An Immense crowd
collected about this establishment early in
the morning and remained there all day , the
crowd changing constantly In its composi
tion , but remaining about the same size.
All requests to view the remains wcro re
fused , on the ground that the work of pre
paring the bodies had' not been completed
anJ they wcro not In condition to be seen.
A largo number of those applying were
merely curiosjty seekers , while others were
friends. Wherever relatives asked permis
sion to see the remains of loved ones the re
quest was granted , but such requests were
very scarce , those most Interested having
seen the bodies when they arrived hi the
city.
city.At
At Coroner IJurkrt's n large crowd con
gregated and a policeman was called Into
service to keep the crowd from taking en
tire possession.
These who had been on the Ill-fated ex
cursion were tha centers of llttlo groups
gathered about on the streets and the by-
standards listened eagerly while they re
counted their oxpcrlonces. Every detail was
gone over nnd over again , and the curious
feasted upon the heartrending details , while
the eyes of many dimmed with tears as they
heard how n dear friend had mot death or
had been seriously Injured.
In every group the conversation turned
upon the heartless action of the Northwest
ern railway odlelals In attempting to sup
press all news of the wreck and In denying ,
up until the lust moment that a wreck had
occurred. If curses had power to kill , these
ofllclals would been "dead as a mackerel"
very early In the day. Their inexcusable
action was condemned In the severest terms
and some of the more excitable ones advo
cated giving them nn excursion on n rail ,
while others advised that n boycott bo in-
ntltuted against the road. Ono man wns
heard to exclaim , with more force than
rlegnnce , "I would never let nny of my
family go over that Infernal road , because
they might get killed and I wouldn't hear
of It. " Many other expressions , some of
them of a very violent character , were heard
on every side and the subject was turned
over nnd over , ns each new addition to the
groups added his ml to to the general con
demnation. This matter formed the subject
of t-onvcnmtlon on the street cars. In the
hotels and. In fnct , In every place whcro
n few wcro gathered nnd In every Instance
the railway olllclnls were censured In the
most severe manner.

The KUddeiinesa with which the awful

COSTS MANY LIVES
( Continued from First Parjc. )
slnco the news of the disaster was first
received , learned the true condition of their
friends. Scarcely n Bound was heard , ex
cept the sobbing of women , and an occa
sional groan from some of the wounded ,
EFFECT OF AWFUL TENSION.
There was no such boisterous demonstra
tions of grltf as are frequently seen nt such
limes and places. The Btraln had been too
Intt-nso and long continued for that. All
the night long they had paced the platform
olid sat silently with their sorrow. Physical
nature was too weak for any violent demon
stration and the fcrllngs found vent In a
deep sigh or n sob that seemed to come
from the depths anil tell of a life that the
possessor scarce thought worth the living.
The lounger , brought to the scene by Idle
curiosity , was touched and with bowed
head stood ullcutly. The pushing throng ,
which but a moment before had been eager
for n sight of the poor unfortunates , ceased
Its struggling nnd passively watched the
procession of maimed humanity carried
from the train to the ambulances.
As each form was lifted from the car It
was lecognlzi'd by iiome of the watchers as
that of a brother , sister , father , mother or
friend and an exclamation marked the hpart
that was touched. To the onlooker it was
n scene which will never be forgotten , and
which none will ever wish to see the like
nznln.
To some the coming of the wounded was
not the end of their sorrow. There was
still another train , which would bring In
the dead , and as they followed the living
but maimed members of the family they
looked back to the sadder bomcromlng that
awaited them. They were unable to secure
any Information as to when these would nr-
tivo and followed the living to do what they
could to minister to their wants and cheer
them by their presence.
SUNSHINE FOR TRACY.
Like the first arrival , this train also
brought Joy ns well ns sorrow. There
were these who had thought their dear
ones were fatally Injured , who now learned
it was not so bad as they had anticipated.
One of these was Edward Tracy , 1107 North
Eighteenth street. He hail been told his
wife was fatally Injured. Silently he had
kept up his vigil all night , waiting for the
arrival of the train. Tears streamed down
Ills face at the thought of her who had become -
como n part of his life. When the body
was removed from the car nnd the doctors
told him she would live , his tears gave
place to a smile , and ho forgot for n mo
ment the Ills which actually beset his house
hold In the thought of the greater one which
It had escaped.
Those who wpro not seriously hurt and
these who had stayed to care for friends
heaved n sigh of relict to bo released from
the constant sight of the mangled and the
maimed. "It was tprrlble , " sold one of
these , "especially on top of the scenes at
the wreck to be compelled to sit In the train
for hours with those whom we were power
less to nld , and whoso sufferings wo could
do nothing to assuage. "
The news of the arrival of the train spread
quickly , and In n few minutes the crowd
which had haunted the platforms all night
was augmented by those who had passed
the time at some place near by. Not until
the last person had been removed from the
train did the crowd show any sign of
diminution , and those who departed were
largely made up for by th6 late comers.
For over an hour after there was nothing
more to see or hear people continued to
come , and , learning the situation , quickly
departed.

Dr. AVIilfr iniil Family \VUiicxM Hie
Ci'iisli from ( InIliiiKlNlilf. .
In these days when railroad companies are
disposing of their old rolling stock by pre
arranged smash-ups , a person who has
actually seen n collision between two great
trains that Is not according to a fixed pro
gram , but Is in reality a frightful calamnlty ,
is looked upon as a rare person. Ir. White ,
one of the oldest residents of Missouri Val-
lep nnd one of the leading physicians of that
little town , together with his wife and two
daughters , saw the two trains approach each
other , In suspense waited for the awful crash
that must follow , nnd witnessed the colli
sion , the lighter locomotive In front of the
freight train raising high in the air and
plunging Into the coaches of the excursion
train that were nearest to the front.
Dr. Whlto , his wife and two daughters
were driving homeward from the picnic at
the time. They had left Logan before the
excursion train and were driving rapidly
along the road parallel to the railroad In
order to reach a turn In the road before the
excursion train should draw up oven with
them.
To a Dee reporter Mrs. AVhlto said : "I
thought the excursion was getting ready
to leave when wo drove past It , yet I knew
that It was earlier than the time set for
departure. Soon I heard It coming and we
drove faster. Then wo were right opposite
the sharp curve In the track. I think that the
men In the freight engine saw the passen
ger , but am confident , from the relative
positions of the trains , that the men on the
passenger cngtni ; did not sco the freight
train. There were two short , shrill whlstleB ;
they wcro sounded almost simultaneously.
Iut ) they came too late. No power save
from heaven could hove then checked those
trains in their mad march to destruction. "
"Tho suspense from the time that wo first
saw the approaching trains until the awful
crash came was something that no words
can fitly describe and that no ono who did
not live through It could fully appreciate.
Wo were all dumbfounded ; we had lost our
tongues. At last I found my voice and
screamed , 'My God ! these trains will meet. '
"Thopo few sfcondo rf suspense were yeais.
It seemed as though the man who had fash
ioned our time must have blundered. In
our silent excitement my daughters and my
self Jumped to the ground. Would that wo
could have done something to stay the Im
minent catastrophe , but had wo been right
on the truck Instead of alongside It wo
should all have been powerless.
"Then ramo the crash. It was a mighty
roar , bu * not so great ns I fancied such a
collision would cause. Perhaps the effects
of that ncrvo-Btralning suspense had ren
dered mo Incapable of appreciating sound.
I don't know as to that. Hut the crash
was followed by a silence that was Intense.
For minutes certainly , for months appar
ently , them was not a sound to bo heard.
Then came the hisses of escaping steam , the
croaU of grinding timber , but far more aw
ful the shrieks of the Injured and the moans
of the dying.
"It seemed as though every one must be
stupllled. No one moved. It must have
been five minutes before the flrat attempt
at relief was made. Dr. White was the 11 rat
man to begin this work and ho was at once
Joined by a physician named Weiss , who was
aboard the train , and 111 less tlmu than It
takes to tell It was assisted by u thousand
willing hands. "
Mlsn Mattle White said that fiho at first
thought there.must surely be a Billing where
the trains were to pass. She could not con-
celvo that the two trains would rush on to
ward each other unless there were a siding.
It was awful , but the most awful period of
the wholn time was the half minute Just be
fore the iTQuli. Then the trains rushed to
gether like two mighty giants of Iron. The
little engine of the freight train mounted
the pnsxrnger train and seemed to go up n
strep hill. I shuddered at the thought of
the poor people In that first car. I thought
nomof them could bo alive. Just ns the
trains luime together my attention was
drawn to an object In the air. It was a
brnki man Jumping from the top of a freight
car. Ho landed on a barbwlru fencu and
esiaped with a few bruises. The next per-
I BOH I saw was an engineer , I think the one
who had charge of the excursion train. Ho
was noting like a demoniac. He Jumped up
find down and was utterly beside himself
With frenzy.
"Then 1 saw a net-man run back from the
freight train with a rod Hag. Ho was the
first railroad man who could speak a word ,
ml In response to a question ho ssld : 'The
loss ct life can't but be terrible. ' In a little
while the hastily organized relief corps be-
Kt'.n to lift the bodies up out of the wrecked
car. This was tedious work , and the work
of letting trcm clown first to the trestle and
then to the ground , about twelve foot below ,
was even more provoklngly slow. I saw
EPVPU bodies handled in this manner in
quirk mie-'esilJn. With my mother and sis
ter I did what I could to aid thn women and
children , "
John F Smedloy , a farmer residing three
miles north of MUaourl Valley , was ono
of the eyewitnesses to the collision. He
had been jji attendance nt the Union Pa
cific Pioneers'picnic during the afternoon
and startedTor homo Just n few minutes
prior to the departure of the excursion
train from Logan. Ho was driving In his
buggy alongiitho road that runs close to
the Northwestern track. Just before reach
ing the point where the collision occurred
he looked tiu and saw the freight coming
tu from tn'd Vest at a rate of speed that
he estimates' nt1 thirty miles an hour. Know.
Ing that Uio < Excursion train was duo to
leave Ix > gan n ( about this time , he cast a
hurried glance toward the rear and was
horrified to see the heavily loaded train
coming up , the track at a slow rate of
speed. ' "
HlSAUSten' ' WHAT WAS COMINO.
In describing what occurred , Mr. Smedlcy
yesterday afternoon said to n reporter :
"When 1 saw the two trains they must have
been fully twenty rods apart. 1 realized
nt once that there was nothing that could
prevent a collision. I stood up In my
buggy , swung my hat and cried out In
an effort to signal the engineers of the two
trains. That my signals were unobserved
Is apparent to my mind for the reason
that thpro was no effort made to stop cither
of the trains , or , at least , no efforts were
mode so far as I could see. I screamed
nt the top of my voice , but still the two
trains moved toward each other. Then I
walled , nnd It seemed like hours. The cold
sweat streamed from my face nsj stood
there waiting for the crnoli , which must
have come but a few seconds later. I was
n few rods ahead of the excursion train
and not to exceed BOO feet from the track
when the two engines came together.
"Tho moinptit when the two Iron mon-
sfprs struck was the mo&t trying of my
life. I served during the war of the re
bellion , was In twenty battles , but never
did I experience such a feeling ns I did
when I stood there upon the Iowa prairie ,
knowing that In a very short time scores
and perhaps hundreds of bravemen. . dcll-
cato women and Innocent children would
be kllletl and that no power on earth eouid
prevent the catastrophe. At last the end
came and that strange feeling passed away.
"As the two trains continued on toward
each other there was a dull , heavy shook
that seemed like the rumbling of distant
thunder. This was followed by a hissing
sound and In an Instant the two engines
and the front cars of each train became
enveloped In clouds of steam , completely
obscuring them from view. Soon the clouds
cleared awny and as they did I saw the
engine of the excursion train climbing on
ton of the one attached to the freight. He-
hind the cnglno of the excursion train
the cars seemed to bo crowding and pushIng -
Ing together. The roof of the baggage cur
seemed to settle down and almost at the
ramo Instant It struck the body of the
coach Immediately behind. As this roof
struck It plowed Into the coach , Just above
the windows , and continued on Its course
until It reached within a few feet of the
rear end , when It seemed to waver , topple
and settle down upon the coach , crushing
It Into what seemed to mo to be nothing
but a mass of kindling wood. As the noise
of crashing timbers subsided there ares ?
upon the air the cries of men , women and
children , mingled with the groans of the
maimed and dying.
"I never knew what became of the train
men , only as I heard that they had
Jumped nnd ran away from the scene of
the terrible accident.
"Hitching myi team to a post , I hurrlod to
the wreck.just as those from the rear
coaches were hurrying up to the front. And
as I looked at , those wrecked cars I wit
nessed some of the saddest scenes that could
bo imagined scenes that made me sick at
heart. There was ono lovely little child ,
not more tjian 6 years of age , whoso little
head and body , was crushed almost to n
pulp. She jvas ilcad and her little body was
hanging out of a car window. Not far from
her was another little girl of about the same
age , a beautiful child. She , too , was cut ,
bruised and mangled in a frightful manner
and dead. Clasped in her tiny arms was a
rag doll , eyldcutly made by some fond
mother orloving sister. This doll was tin-
scratched . 'and. Jintorn and fondly reclined
upon the bftaast of Its little dead mistress.
Looking Intq .the car , it had the appearance
of a humau slaughter house. There wcro
men and wmnen beheaded as completely as
they would have been had the guillotine been
used. Others were lying upon seats and
upon the floor , .dead or writhing In agony
that was painful to witness. All over the
floor of the car were great pools of human
blood , while near them were persons who
were suffering untold tortures.
CRUSHED DY THE CAR ROOF.
"To my mind it was apparent that thereof
roof of the baggage car must have struck
many of these people before they knew what
had happened , as they were Injured about
the head and shoulders. It seemed that thereof
roof of the car must have struck them as
they wcro sitting In their scats. Others
who were dead or injured were lying In the
seats or on the lloor , which seemed to be
conclusive evidence that they heard the
crash and dodged down , thus hoping to
escape. "
John Enrlght of Missouri Valley was slt-
tlnu In the baggage car at the time when the
crash came. In detailing his experience he
said : "I was ono of those who happened
to bo fortunate enough to escape. Wo had
left Logan and must have been moving
along ut a rate of six ; to ten miles an hour.
Suddenly and without warning there was a
crash as of falling timbers , nnd an Instant
later the car seemed to bo standing upon its
end , the end nearest the engine being ele
vated nt an anglo of about forty-five degrees.
I was thrown out of the chair In which I
was sitting and was rolled about the lloor
among the chairs , boxes , palls , baskets and
other articles that are taken along on a pic
nic. Men soemcd to be walking and rolling
over mo for nearly an hour , but of course
It was for but a moment. Then the car
stopped and as It did so the roof passed off
and 1 at once made an inventory of my In
juries , which consisted of a few minor
scratches and bruises. Immediately getting
upon my feet I looked out and saw that thereof
roof of the baggage car had passed on and
had cut the coach Immediately In the rear
almost In two.
"Tho baggage car seemed to be filled with
men lying upon the lloor , all of whom
seemed to bo dead or dying. Those who
wore alive were screaming and moaning.
How many were In the car I can't say , but
I should think at least twenty. After this
I don't know Just what I did next , for I
can't remember. I know , however , that
soon after this I found that I was upon
the ground and was looking into the couch
that was behind the baggage car , which
was completely shattered. Almost every per
son seemed to bo dead or dying. Children
were screaming and fathers and mothers
were calling for their children. The farmers
came In from the surrounding country ,
bringing wagons , In which the dead and
injured were hauled back to Logan , where
they wcro cared for by the residents of
that little tgwn , "
Edward F anan of Missouri Vnlloy said
that hovis jading In the rear coach of
the train. Asked to give his experience , ho
said : "Tho .train loft Logan and moved out
at a very slqw , rate of speed , not to exceed
six inlles 8p ( . hour , I should say. After
going perhapsthreequarters of a mlle It
suddenly stofipod , not with a Jar that was
notlceablo tu thpsa In our car , but just all
of n sudden. I thought that perhaps there
wore cattle pn Jho track. Just about this
tlmii Homo jW uoii ' tha outsldo of the train
shouted , Vc ha'vo been struck by another
train and srvpr l people have been hurt. '
I got out of JLuVpoach nnd walked up toward
the front of UiV train , there to learn that
that there hair been a terrible accident.
The scene was1 the saddest that I have ever
witnessed. lilcnS were hunting the wreck
for their 1'jveUi ones , while women wcro
wringing their handa and crying as they
asked for Information concerning some hus
band or n darling child. The dead were re
moved from the cars as rapidly as pos
sible , laid upon the grass , to at once bo
placed in wagons nnd taken back to Lo
gan.
gan."While the dead were being removed from
the cars hundreds of willing hands were
tenderly caring for the Injured and doing
everything possible to soothe their aches
and pains. Local doctors were Immediately
upon the ground to volunteer their serv
ices and render assistance. "
FIRST IN THE WRECKED CAR.
Jerry Fltzmorrls , a Union Pacific fireman ,
who was the ilrtt to enter the telcocoped
car after the collision , gives a thrilling
account of his experience , which almost cost
him his life. He waa In the flfih car when
the crash came. Instantly divining the
cause of the Jar he called to the occu
pants of the car all of whom were rushing
for the doors to krep quiet that the danger
was ovei Two stout women became su
nrmly wedged In the door that the strength
of three men was necessary to separate
them. Mr. Fltzmorrls hurried to the front
of the train nnd set to work to extricate
the victims.
"I grasped n detached beam of the broken
car , " IIP said , "nnd crawled In among the
dead and wounded. It was nn awful sight.
The floor of the baggage car swept the
seats and their occupants on one side and
Jammed them Into the further nnd. On
the other side the floor passed about a foot
above the row of Beats. Had any of the
people on that side ducked their heads , they
would have escaped. Engineer Skully and
his wife were In one. of the rear sputs and
were pinned In the wreck , the former killed
outright , the latter dangerously Injured.
We managed , after hard work , to extricate
Mrs. Skully nnd remove her from the car
through n window. Then the floor of the
baggage car was propped up nnd the body
of Mr. Skully removed. The second time I
entered the car , and while groping In the
lower side , the propped-up floor gave way
and pinned mo to the lloor. I tell you my
breath was mighty short when I was pulled
out. "
Mr. Fltzmorrls was so exhausted that ho
had to bo removed to town nnd was uncon
scious for over nn hour.
Mr. Fltzmorrls saya the belief was general
among the excursionists that the telegraph
wires were cut to prevent news of the
affair getting out. Ho refutes the rumor
that Engineer Montgomery was under thu
Inlluonce of liquor ns ho talked with him
ten minutes before thp train startpil. Ho
says his observation was continued by the
fact that the engineer worked for two bourn
among the victims , though suffering from n
fractured arm , and then fell exhausted.
WHAT KENNEY KNOWS.
Daniel Kenney of CIS North Fourteenth
street , was seated with his child In the mid.
die portion of the train when the collision
occurred. He describes the scenes In and
around the train as follows : "Wo pulled
slowly out of the side track nt Ix > gan , and
the train was Just beginning to gather head
way when the crash cnmu. While the Jar
was quite severe In the coach where 1 was
seated , 1 had no Idea that anything very
serious had happened. The trnhi moved but
a very short distance after the collision , nnd
I nt once left the coach. The scene was
truly appalling. Our engine nnd that of the
freight train had collided , and almost com
pletely telescoped each other. Both huge
machines wcro perched on a small bridge
and the baggage car of our train was shot
through nnd partly on top of the first coach.
"Tho cries nnd groans that proceeded from
the mass of timbers nnd iron was sickening ,
nnd our Inability to got the sufferers out
at once made us work with desperate en
ergy. The people from Logan seemed to ar
rive on the ground as If by magic , and they
worked most heroically In relieving the In
jured. Axes wcro procured from the train
and n number from the town , nnd the wood
work which held the passengers captives
was cut out In sections nnd removed. One
woman was kept pinioned In her seat forever
over mi hour and a half , but when she was
flnaly relieved It was found that her In
juries were not of a serious nature.
"As fast as the disabled were taken out
other people took them In charge and they
were removed to Logan In wagons and
carryalls. The dead were laid on blankets
In a nearby field , and later on taken to
Logan , where they were laid side by side
In the Odd Fellows hall. It seemed almost
nn endless Job to cut away the wreckage ,
but upon the arrival of the wrecking train
the work was much facilitated , and at
length It was announced that all persons
had been taken from the wreck. I do not
think the excursion train was moving to ex
ceed three miles nn hour when the collision
occurred. The other train. Judging from the
destruction It accomplished , must have been
running at a considerable higher rate of
speed than Is usual with freight trains. "
YOUNG JAYNES WAS COOL.
Ono of the most remarkable examples
of presence of mind In n time of excite
ment was. that displayed by Arthur Jaynes ,
a 14-year-old boy , son of II. S. Jaynes , su
perintendent of the Chicago , St. Paul , Min
neapolis & Omaha road. As soon as the
train had como to a stop young Jnynes ,
noting at a glance the terrible havoc
wrought , started for Logan at the top of
his speed , lie secured the use of the near
est telephone and was probably the first
who sent word of the disaster to this city.
Ho told his father that a terrlblo wreck
had Just occurred and conluded with
"I'm all right , pa ; don't worry ; I must
get back to the wreck at onco. "
A. L. Spencer , John Casey and Joe Flynn ,
three boys , started home In the baggage car.
The evening was warm , so they dangled
their feet out of the car door and sat chat
ting together. Spencer chanced to look
ahead just ns the freight came Into sight
nnd clutching his nearest neighbor by the
shoulder , shouted "Collision , boys ! Jump
for your life ! " and suiting the action to the
word , hurled himself to the bottom of n
deep ditch alongside the road. The other
two boys did not stop to question tholr
comrade , but jumped at the same time , and
were saved , for the car In which they rode
was reduced to klndllngwood a moment
later.
John Qulstgard , one of the youthful mem
bers of the Seventh Ward band , had
a. miraculous escape from Instant death In
the smash-up. Ho and a companion , who
was killed , went Into the forward coach ,
whcro the musical Instruments had been
loft , to get a violin. Ho had barely got
Insldo the door when the car was tele
scoped. Strdngo to relate , none of the fly
ing splinters struck him and ho easily bur
rowed his way through the bottom of the
car and down through the bridge upon
which It happened to stand to the ravine
below. John Shlndler , another of the band ,
did not escape so easily , he being badly
cut about the head nnd breast.

Ralph C. Richards , general claim agent
of the Northwestern road , accompanied by
several other olllelals from headquarters ,
came Into Omaha yesterday afternoon. General -
oral Superintendent Hallenbcclc of the Iowa
division came as far west as Council Dluffs ,
but did not venture lute Omaha. The ofll-
clals from Chicago were borne westward
by a special train , consisting of a private
cur and a coach , at a fast rate of speed ,
the special being given the right of way
over all other trains on the road.
General Claim Agent Richards nnd tha
other olilcials went directly to the Paxton
hotel , but it Is significant that neither
iio nor any of the other olllelals registered
tholr names on the volume provided for
that purpose. To a lice reporter Mr. Rich
ards stated that there was nothing to bu
staled concerning the wreck save that it was
a terrible accident and was much to bo re
gretted. He said that It was directly trace
able to disobedience of positive orders.
Asked concerning the question of claims
arising from the accident and their ad
justment , Mr. Richards looked up from a
mass of letters that ho was writing long
enough to say that the question had not
yet been considered. He added that he
hoped be shouldn't bo In Omaha loug.
Mr. Richards said that ho had heard
the news of the wreck ; at 10:30 : o'clock Sat
urday night. Ho explained the failure to
obtain anything on the accident from the
Chicago headquarters on Saturday night
by saying that thu headquarters were
closed ut noon on Saturday , and all the
officials except the Janitor then guvo up
their posts until Monday morning.

The thousands of people In Omnhn who
spent hours of anguish on Saturday night
In trying to get some tidings of the extent
nnd details of the disaster nt Logan ought
to have no trouble In placing the respon
sibility for the failure to secure the praycd-
for Information.
When the first news of the disaster
reached Omnhn the newspapers employed
every effort to obtain something definite con
cerning the wreck and to ascertain the
truth of HIP reports of great loss of life.
Local cnrrespo'ndents nt Logan , Missouri
Valley nnd other points In the vicinity wen-
wired without response , nnd then came the
question of the quickest way to get a re
porter to Logan. Application was made
to the Northwestern olllelals for information
concerning the sending of wrecking trains to
the scene of the accident , but nothing could
bo learned. Then a tip came that n corps
of Omaha physicians had been sent to Coun
cil Illuffs to tnko n relief train to Logan.
A reporter nt Council 01 lifts was notified
nnd Instructed it possible to go on that
train. An application was made to Assist
ant Superintendent W. 0. Lytton of Donne
for permission to ride with the surgeons to
the scene of the wreck. The reply was an
emphatic and positive refusal. An attempt
was made to urge the fact that the people
wore clamoring for Information and that In
justice to the railroad It was better to have
a reporter on the grounds to prevent the
publication of exaggerated reports. This
appeal fell on deaf ears. Mr. Lytton was too
much engrossed In "company business" to
listen to any request In which the press or
the public were Interested nnd refused to
lliten to any proposition that meant obliging
either the press or the people.
The relief train was run Into the north
yards nt Council Bluffs nnd arrangements
were made for the run to Logan. Dut the
bars wcro up to newspaper men. The West
ern Union Telegraph company In response to
the appeal of the people for news from the
wreck had two operators ready to go with
the relief train nnd handle the business
which had accumulated at Logan nnd which
the Northwestern people professed to bo
uiinbio to handle on account of the press
of their own business , consequent upon the
wreck. The operators were positively re
fused the privilege of accompanying the
train.
There was another hope. Northwestern
officials stated that there would bo no inoro
trains north after the relief train , but It
was learned that there was to bo n fast
fruit freight out of the yards some time
before midnight nnd efforts were made to
secure permission to ride on that train to
the Valley , but there was the same refusal.
In that emergency a reporter for The lice ,
accompanied by Manager Nichols of the
Western Union nt Council Dluffs , hired n
rig and started across the country. The
roads were hilly and dusty nnd the night
was dark. Progress was kllllngly slow and
It was nearly 2 o'clock when the party
reached Missouri Valley. Hero everything
was excitement. Half of the town was In
Logan and the other half had only meager
reports of the wreck , but enough was
learned to glvo the Omaha public the salient
features of the disaster nnd a partial list
of the killed and Injured. The Northwest
ern olilcials nt the Valley iliil not know a
thing about the wreck , nnd could not get
a second's time to wire any Information.
The presence of Manager Nichols enabled
The Dec to furnish the first definite news
of the collision. Operators Cralle , Dnrnhart
and Stoddard managed to get to Missouri
Vnlloy about 1:30 : o'clock and drove to Lo
gan , where they wcro soon joined by The
Dee party. Then the public got the information
mation nnd the people can now know why
their anxiety was not relieved earlier.

An engineer of the Northwestern road
said yesterday afternoon that Engineer
Montgomery and Conductor Reed of the ex
cursion train were all but nervous wrecks ,
the strain on their mltrls since last night
having been so great. Engineer Montgom
ery has a broken hand. Doth are compara
tively young men and both of them have
been recently married nnd their homes are
In Doono. Doth are nlso wull liked among
the men on the road and have enjoyed a
great amount of confidence and respect from
the other employes of the road.
It now appears that Engineer Montgomery
and Conductor Reed of thn excursion train
walked to Missouri Valley Immediately after
the wreck. The threats of the crowd they
feared might bo carried out and they thought
It best to be distant from the frenzied pic
nickers. Doth were later taken to Doone
from Missouri Valley In a car that was
locked nnd sealed , to guard against any pos
sible attack that might bo made on them
in a moment of anger.

The wrecked train was the first section
of n picnic excursion which had been held nt
Schiller park , nboitt twelve miles west from
the city. The picnic wns held under the
auspices of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen nnd fully 3,000 people were lc
attendance. The first section consisted oi
thirteen cars nnd left the park shortly after
S o'clock for the return trip to the city.
All the ears were densely crowded nnd maivy
people were stnndliiK on the platforms.
When the train reached Altcnhotm cemetery ,
ten miles from the city , It ran Into an open
switch In front of the depot. The plonlo
train was not running nt over ton inlles an
hour nnd when It ncnred Altetihclm the
switchman nt the depot opened n switch
to transfer a freight trnln nnd did not close
It in time to prevent the plcnip trnln
from dashing upon n siding , \vhero 9.

Ing for n clear track In order that It might
gi > to the picnic ground. The train did not
strike the empties on the siding with great
force nnd In fact the cnglno of the plcnlo
train wns not damaged beyond n broken
pilot. The force of the collision was sufll-
clent , however , to jam the llrnt coach up
against the baggage car in such a way ns"\o
partially telescope It. The people who wcro
killed were all standing on the platform of
the nrst coach and their lives were crushed
out by the rear of the baggage car All of
the seriously Injured were In the first car
and none of the passengers In the other cars
were badly Injured , although some of them
were bruised by being thrown against seats
and to the doors of the cars.
The olllelals of the railroad did not notify
the city police of the accident for thrco
hours and none of the victims were brought
to this city for over four hours after the
accident.
All the excursionists were Chlrago people
"
After an Investigation the police arrested"
