In the meantime the castbound train had received its orders and expected to meet the Westbound train at Heaver. Both trains were running at the usual speed, the deep Snow and high wind ma king It necessnry to exercise exceptional care. Suddenly both headlights flashed out from the darkness and It was realised for the Arst time that something was wrong. According to the story of Fireman J. H. Smith of the westbound train Engineer Walter Coslett opened the emergency brake and the train was checked for an Instant, but the slippery rails and the momentum of the heavy train carried It on. From the stories told by several of the trainmen who survived and who were In the forward part of the train the Impact was scarcely noticeable, , but 'the crushing, grinding noise that followed warned them that something had been struck. The helper engine on No. t evidently acted aa a sort of cushion, minimizing the force and weight of the heavy mountain engines that haul the trains where the grade does not require assistance. This helper was crushed together like so much paper and tbe mon ster machines ran through it, locking themselves together as if In a death strug gle. . Fireman Smith was the only one of the engine crews to escape. . The baggage car of No, S broke In two and the three coaches squeesed together. The baggage and mall cars and coach of No. IS buckled, but none of thn cars were telescoped, as was first reported. . Debris Takes Fire "Hardly hud the trainmen and passengers maclied a realization that all was not right when to their horror a sheet of fire ran through the cars on both sides of the en gines, and In a twinkling the crackling sound of breaking timbers started them to action. In the forward coach of the west bound train every seat was occupied by the passenger, most of whom were home seeaers n their way tQ the northwest. A number of ferelgners were among them and In their terror they gave up life with out making any attempt to reach safety outside the burning car. Paralyzed with fear and with prayers upon their lips they sank to the floor 'of the car and were roasted alive. The cooler ones In the car, seeing their danger, rushed for the win dows and doors, and with the aid of the passengers In the rear of the train and those members of the train crew who were unhurt managed to, reach the open air. Many of them were injured more or less seriously by the rough handling they re ceived or from flying glass and limbers. Although many were willing to under take the risk efforts to rescue those who remained In the burning cars would hare been suicidal, as the heat was unbearable. When the occupants of the two standard and two tourist sleepers ft the westbound train saw that nothing could be done to check the flames they aided the trainmen in pushing back the sleepers and those cars were not damaged in the least. The sleep ers on the eastbo'und train wt-ra also pushed back and soon after they were placed out of reach of the leaping flames. The wrecked cars were soon reduced to a mass of smouldering ruins. . . Communication was opened with the Pueblo office of the railroad from Portland, 0) BUe or so away, and a relief train with txryalclans was dispatched to the wreck at once. As quickly aa possible the Injured were placed In the sleepers and the engine of the relief train started back to Pueblo with them and also the passengers of the Girls' and Misses' Spring Suits KOBBY, NOVEL Btrklej and St.mfori Reefers ml Wnerlj Ceil Solts They're the newest of ths new and just the sort of gar ments that are admired every where.

An other relief train came from Florence and the engine was coupled to the sleepers of No. 16 and as many 6f the bodies of the dead as could be removed from the wreck at that time placed aboard. This done, the searchers began picking up bones, pieces of burnt clothing and personal property of victims of the disaster, until several boxes had heen filled. Those remains were placed aboard the undamaged sleepers of No. 16 and taken to Portland and subsequently brought to Pueblo. ( Many Bodies Inrlnerated. It Is reliably reported that but one body Is sufficiently Intact to make recognition possible, all the others baying been burned to ashes or Incinerated. Identification of the victims who succumbed to the merciless flames Is only possible. It Is believed, through a comparison of lists of rescued and missing. No accurate estimate of the number of dead was possible by reason of the fact that so many of the bodies were practically destroyed. Work of clearing away the debris of the wreck began at daylight, with the aid of two wreckers, one on each side of the wreckase. It Is announced that the track will be entirely clear and trains running by tomorrow noon. One of the first things the wreckers were called upon to do was to lift the tender of one of the engines from oft the Santa Fe track, which runs close by the Rio Grande, where It had been tossed by the cars crowding against It. The peculiar feature of the wreck was the fac that none of the .sleepers loft the rallo and the cars and engines which were burned were standing on the tlea If not on the track.

In tho front end of the ruins of the smoker of No. i were found the charred hands of a man, crossed and held together by a pair of handcuffs.

Ralrd of Denver, who was also killed. His prisoner was an actor known as Archibald Whitney, who had been sentenced to the penitentiary on a conviction of forgery.

REMOVED FROM DISTRICT PRESIDENCY Action of Kiecatlte Board Approved Qaestton of Kmpalslon from Orcaalsatlon Deferred. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. March lS.-The epeeial national convention of the I'nlted Mine Workers of America this afternoon endorsed the action of the executive board in sustaining the -findings of President John Mitchell in the matter of ousting Patrick Dolan and t'rlah Belllngham from the pres idency and -vice presidency of District No. 6, West Pennsylvania. As far as the na tional organisation is concerned this is the end of Dnlan's case. Only the pleas of President Mitchell and Secretary W. B. Wilson prevented the ex pulsion of . Dolan from the organization. Dolan and his supporters claim something of a victory in defeat for the fact that he wss seated a deligate In the convention, as wart nlso Vice President Belllngham. The two actions followed Immediately opon the partial report of the credentials commit tee, which had Included the names of Bel llngham and Dolan as delegates. President H. C. Perry of Illinois district Jumped to his feat as he secretary of the credentials committee ceased reading. "Do I understand that that report seats Patrick Dolan as a delegate In this conven tion." he asked. "That is the effect of the committee's re port." President Mitchell replied. "Then I move to accept the report ex cept Inso far as Mr. Dolan and Mr. fielllng hani's names are concerned, and that they be stricken out," said Mr. Perry. Secretary Wilson asked If, under this motion. If carried, Dolan's case wou!d como up for separate consideration by the con vention and wns told that it Would. A motion to accept the report ns read pre vailed. Wilson and Mitchell Protest. , Delegate James J. Hlskell then moved that Dolan be declared not seated by the convention. Secretary Wilson earnestly op posed this motion. "You are establishing a false precedent If you take thin action," said Secretary Wilson. "You are placing him In the position of a martyr, and he could go before tha people and clnlm you have violated tho laws of this organiza tion. You can no more afford to violate the lnws than he can. Seat him as n dic tate and deal with him afterward for Ills previous action." President Mitchell said: "No one man In this convention has greater cause, for resentment against Patrick Dolan than I. No one man In this convention has been grossly more wronged by him than I have. But I hope I am big enough to forget per sonal wrongs when the laws of the Vnltod Mine Workers of America are called into question." President Mitchell then recited the pro vision of the constitution for the election of delegates. "I sar with Secretary Wilson," he went on, "that you will make a mistake If you refuse to seat Mr. Dolan. I have no de sire to sustain his action in the conven tion, but whether he does Justice to me or not, I will do Justice to him. I want to appeal to you In the name of your laws to vote down this motion." " Delegate Walker of Illinois Inquired whether It would be violation of; the laws of the organization to hang Dolan. After tho laughter had subsided President Mitch ell suggested that this statement might be differently construed when read In cold type. Walker replied: "I don't caro how It Is construed." "The organisation cares," replied Presi dent Mitchell, earnestly, at thn same time bringing his gavel to the table with re sounding blow. Vice President Lewis also made an em phatic protest against Delegate Walker's I language. On a vote the motion was lost and by a subsequent action the language of Walker was stricken out. President Mitchell announced the resolu tions committee. . The report of the scale committee was then read by Secretary John P. White of the committee. The report of the committee was adopted. Dolan Removed from OfTtce. Secretary Wilson then read the proceed ings before the national executive board of Thursday afternoon and evening In the matter of the appeal of Patrick Dolan from the decision of president Mitchell sustain ing the right of the district convention to oust him from the presidency uf district No. S for refusing to cast the vote of the district according to his Instructions and In voting to accept trfe proposition of the operators In the January joint conference. The finding of the board sustained the at titude of President Mitchell and the power of ths convention to declare Dolan's office vacant. The report 'was unanimously adopted amid vigorous cheering. National Executive Board Member Thomas Burke of Illinois then moved the expulsion of President Dolan and Vice President Belllngham of district No. S from the I'nlted Mine Workers of America. President Mitchell asked permission to make a suggestion and said: "Let me ask you to defer vot'ng on this measure, in your Interest, until some other time. Let us settle our difficulties . with the operators first and then our Internal dissensions." Delegate John Walker of Illinois moved that a vote on this motion be deferred until after the conference with the oper ators. President Perry of tha Illinois dis trict asked whether, if no such conference should be held, the matter would ever come up again and suggested postponement to a fixed date. The motion to defer was car ried on a standing division of the conven tion. President Mitchell said: "Fears have been expressed that Pat rick Dolan will Interfere with the work of the scale committee. I wish to state that If there is any such Interference, I shall at once convene this convention and this, motion will at once be taken up for action." The convention adjourned until tomorrow.

Among the many rumors circulated Thursday evening regarding the where abouts of some of Sheriff McDonald's prisoners. It was reported he sent some to the New York Life building, while an other rumor, given out by one of the city detectives, was that no one of tho prison ers was removed from the county Jail and that the "committee" was Just bluffed when it went through the county Jail in search of. persona to hang on tho upper end of a rope. The last edition of thn series of rumors as to where the prisoners spent Thursday night states they were tn .the criminal court room of the courthouse. "This Is straight," remarked one ot the members of the local detective force. If that is so the culprits' must have spent a highly delectable evening, listening to the reverberating hoots and howls of the mob, which, for all the prisoners could tell, really might have been there for business. So far as the noise went It was demoniac enough to have scared the life out of an army of prisoners. FREMONT. Neb., March lrt.-(8peclal Telegram.) Clarence Gathrlght, one of the negroes implicated In the Flury murder, was brought to this city last night by Offi cer Henry Elsfelder of the Omaha force and lodged In the county jail for safekeep ing. The fact of his confinement here did not become known until this afternoon. During a talk with the Fremont officers he gave substantially the same account of the murder as was given In The Bee. He says thnt when he left the Jail at Omaha last evening the other two men were still there. IQIKT TO.PR HELD OS MOMItY Hitch Between Coroner and Dr. Condon Over Antopay. The inquest over the remains of Edward Flury will not txi held until Monday after noon. Some change In the plans as origi nally formed by Coroner Bralley were brought about after a clash between Dr. A. P. Condon, who attended the dead con ductor during his illness. Immediately after the death of Flury, Dr. Condon held nn autopsy over the remains at St. Jo seph's hospital. This was done without official consent or notification. The autopsy of Dr. Condon is unofficial, and, It appears, is not sufficient, but it is now Impossible after the mutilation which has been done, to hold another. Mr. Bralley was rather vexed with the action of Dr. Condon and said in regard to the matter last night: "Dr. Condon should have notified mo he. was to hold an autopsy. It. was a very unusual ijrocedure, indeed, for 'him to do anything without official direction or per mission, which can only be given by the coroner, or, perhaps, by the prosecuting attorney. I aaked him this afternoon to open the body where he had already had It open, and go over the. autopsy, but lie re fused." Dr. Condon was asked regarding the con troversy last night and said: "I was asked by the family to hold the autopsy, as I had attended the man for a week. 1 went ahead and did so Immediately after death had ensued, but I did not know there was anything wrong about my doing so. I ex pect to testify before the coroner's Jury Monday as' to .lhe result of my post-mortem."? : .-- . . Coroner Bralley empaneled a Jury late yesterday afternoon and, Jt was taken to view the remains of Edward Flury, to meet again at 2 o'clock Monday Ifternoon. -CAP" MOSTYS ACTS A" CAPPER Get. In Crorrd and la First to Aceept f Sheriff's Terms. After it was all over there was no dis puting the fact that the alleged lynching bee was hut an opera boufe affair. One official remarked, "If someone had snapped his finger the crowd would have posed for a photograph." When the plank which broke through the door of the Jail was received by those wait ing Inside a bulky individual with more In toxicants than sense came with the plank. The whole thing was so sudden for him that he was at a loss as to what to say when he got inside with the battering ram. Several of the Jail attaches grasped the situation and ushered the corpulent dele gate down the stairway which led to the cellar. The man is knwn as a rounder at Twenty-first and Cuming streets, but for his folks' sake his name la withheld. At any rate, the self-appointed leader was kept in the cellar dim of the county Jail until daybreak, when he said he would go home and be a good boy forever more. Actinar Chief of Police Mostyn showed his fine hand during the critical moment. If there waa any real critical moment. "Cap" Mostyn has had sundry experiences with mobs. He can size up a mob and feel its puis better than any physician. Sheriff McDonald went over to the south wall of the county jnll and said: "Fellow citizens! You are organised, and the best thing for you to do Is to appoint a committee to go through the jail." Acting Chief Mostyn, who hsd in tho meantime worked his way into the crowd, assumed the role of Vox Popull and shouted, "That's fair!" At first a number of citizens, soldiers and sailors looked at Captain Mostyn as though he might have been a capper, but they took up his suggestion and seemed pacified. Sheriff McDonald attempted to hit a lyncher and only hit his hand In the at tempt. Patrolman Shields was struck over the head with a chunk of congealed snow. He will live.

Captain de Cresplgny, indicates that the British expedition against the Nandl tribe, northern Nigeria. Is encountering unexpected resistance. The captain says 1,000 natives were killed during the recent "driving operations." The Nandls occupy the territory In the vicinity of Victoria Nyanza, the terminus of the Mombasa nnllroad, and have been menacing the railroad and raiding farms. The British attacked and defeated the Nandls and subsequently decided to ap portion them to a reserve some distance from the railroad. The Nandls objected and tho process of driving them toward the reserve led to sanguinary guerrlla fighting. A dispatch from the British high commissioner of northern Nigeria confirms the defeat of the Sokoto rebels. REPORT OF THE STEEL TRUST Net F.arnlnKs Iat Year ,early One Hundred and Tweaty Millions.
