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

east bound train who had been sated. 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.

The monetary damage to railroad prop
erty is estimated at $3)0,000. In addition
to this all the baggage on No. 16 was de
stroyed, as well as the mail. One of the
pathetic tragedies of the disaster was the
wiping out of all but two of the family
of Taylor Hewitt of Lebo, Kan. Father,
mother, daughter, grandchild and the wives
of the sons are missing. The two sons,
E. A. Hewitt and W. L. Hewitt, are among
the Injured In the hospital here, each'of

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.

depot to the penitentiary, where they will
be kept for the present.
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.

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.
