The train-men made renewed efforts to pusli the train through, and by using several en gines and snow-plows succeeded in getting In this even'ng. The passengers say they fared better than could be expected unsler tbo eircmrlstancest Tho tram which left Durangtf on Sunday evening, bfrand for Denver, after srfece" fully crossing th) divide; stcck In d bank a few miles from Osier, & small statlcri otj the downward slope of tho main ttlvMc. AH efforts to free themselves proved futile, and p'reparationa were made by tbepas engcrs to pass the night on the mountain, as best they could. Next day tb" train men, assisted by the passengers, put fCrtb their tet efforts to cut a way thi ongh the banks of snow, but Ihey were unsuccess fuL Provision on the train were then be coming low. Up to that time the content, if the express car had supplied food for h passengers. Then the fuel gavo out, and ijule nuealnes began to be lelt.

They relate their ex perience as being full ot tbe greatest hard ship add most perilous adventures. They uld not follthr any trail and struck oat iverland toward Oilers At time tbe t-va men were covered over head with snow, and bad it not been for the assistance one was capable of rendering tbe other, both would have perished. As it was, after hours of the greatest fatigue, they reached the snow-bound settlement of Osier, and in formed the citizens of the perilous position ot the passengers of the delayed train. A relief part wa at once organized and men started out on snowshoe for the train, loaded with provisions. These men were followed b7 others, and as the fir.t relief psrtv has returned to 0ier after having landed their load of food to the dlstrcsseo passengers there need be no longer any ap prehension ot their safety, as plenty ol provision car thus be carried In on snow shoes. Osier is near tho famons Toltec Gorge, a romantic place, where Eastern tourists ar wont to linger in summer and drink in uk grandeur ot the finest scenery in the Rocky Monntain. AH tho available engines ic Denver and along the line of the Rio Grandt have been sent out to assist in the relief ol he snow-bound passengers. hi A DESPERATE COrTCOr.
