It Is thought that all will rocover. Tho wreck occurred during tho height of one of the worst blizzards thnt vi. swept over Nebraska and was duo to the met that tho block signal had be como so clogged with snow and Ico that It would not work. Hy reason 0f this fact Englnocr Weinberger of No. 13, although he knew thnt he was runtilni close to No. 4, supposed that he had a clear track and kept on, only stopping when tho crash camo. Omaha Physician TelU of Accident, Tho story of the wrecl; Is told by Dr. D, A. Foojs of Omaha, who was on No. II. and whllo considerably shakon up, worked from the time of the wreck un til long afternoon administering to tho Injured. Dr. Foote had been at North Platte and went down to tho depot, Intending to leave for Omaha on No. 4. Finding (ha sleeper on that train filled, ho d&clded to wait and come In on No. It. Had he been able to have secured a berth on No. 4 ho would probably have been killed or Injured. As It was. for a tlmo he was reported dead. The doctor Is ( well known by the rail road men, and those of both trains know he was a passenger on No. 12. Soon after the collision, and whllo the train men wero assisting in digging the dead from tho wreckage, a body was found and Identified as that of the Omaha doc tor. Ho was found at the hotel caring for the Injured. Dr. Foote. in speaking: of the wreck, said: "I went down to tho North Platte depon Intending to tako No. 4 Into Omaha, but when It urrlve. somo two hours late, t found that every borth was occupied and concluded to wait for No. 12. When thi.i train camo along I bought my ticket and berth and soon after getting aboard went to bed and in a short time was. sound asleep. Tho next thing I knew I was violently thrown from my berth and Into tho aisle. Quickly slipping on my clothcss und finding everything In confusion. I hurried out of tho car nnd up to tho front of tho train. Looking at my watch. 1 round that It wus 3:13 o'clock and that we had been on the road ubout un hour and a quarter, covering the thlrty-flva miles between North Plntto and Qothen burg. "Getting up to tho front of the train, I found that tho cnslne of No. 13 had plowed entirely through tho last sleeper on the rear of No. 4, reducing It to kin dling wood. Its pilot resting on the plat form of tho chair car In front. Sleeper SnJIt Into Klndllnir. "There was practically nothing left of the sleeper, the engine having gone right up tho center, splitting tho car In two and scattering the wreckage to either side. "By this time the trainmen and the un Injured passengers hud turned their at tention to the dead and Injured. The dead were dug from the wreukuge and 1 think 'the dead wero all on the north side of the car. Strange as It may seem, none of tho bodies were mangled or dis figured, apparently they wero killed by
