Not a tow passengers engaged In this
ghoulish business and a large number
of valuables and much money which
was scattered about the wrecked train
was taken
Sir Curtis who was on his way to
High Point N C on a business mis
sion was tho hero of the hour It was
claimed by some of his fellow passen
gers that to his worJ and generalship
belongs the credit of tho rescue of a
dozen persons Several persons not
seriously wounded were taken out from
the two cars that were burned and six
negro passengers were taken from
tho combination coach of tho forward
trnln They were badly hurt most ot
them having broken legs and ono or
two with fractured skulls It Is be
llcvcd all will recover with the possible
exception of an aged woman
As roon us the news of the wreck
was received hero doctors were taken
to the scene on n special train and
one of tho fire engines of tho Lynch
burg derailment was loaded on u Hat
car and hurried to the wreck to extin
guish tho lames among tho wreckage
The engine and firemen could not
bo spared form the early morning lire
on Main street hence they did not go
to Lawyers until 830 oclock On ac
count of the train with tho Injured pas I
fengcrs having the track between Hon
goon and tho scene of tho accident It
was after 10 oclock before tho special
reached Lawyers
CAUSE OF WRECK UNKNOWN
Tho cause of tho wreck cannot be
learned now but It Is Halo that the
operator In charge of the block oillce
nt Rangoon four miles north of tho
scene allowed the Atlanta train to en
ter tho block before ho had been given
n clear track from tho next block sta I
tion at Lawyers depot llvo miles be
low Why the operator allowed the
train to pass his clock Is not known
and will hardly be known by the rail
way company before an olUclal Inves
tigation can bo had
No 33 tho Jacksonville train camo
to a stop at the crest of ono of the
heaviest grades on tho road between
Lynchburg and Danville 1C tho trains
had come together 11 mile further south
It believed that hardly a person on
cither train would have come out of
tho wreck alive Doth trains were run
ning late On account of tho Heavy
equipment of tho rear train It was not
making groat speed some of tho pas
scngeru thinking that tho speed could
not have been more than 30 or 10 miles
an hour Ten minutes later the speed
would have been upwards of CO miles an
hour
Train No 33 which was struck was
composed of u mall car combination
baggage and passenger coach two Pull
mans and President Spencers car
Tho rear sleeper to which tho private
coach was attached wall wrecked but
It was not burned The regular day
coach mud tho forward Pullman cars
wore practically uninjured but tho
combination coach second from the en
gine wan crushed
It was hero that nil tho ncgro
among tho wounded were hurt Thoyi
wero unable to extricate themselves
from tho baggage hurled upon them and
many would havo died but for tho res
cue work led by Mr Curtis
An effort was made shortly after
noon to learn tho name of tho operator
In charge of tho block station nt Ran
goon but he had been relieved ami
no one has been found who knows the
rume of the man who lives U Is said
In tho Immediate vicinity of the little
block office
The seriously Injured Include
Willis J Winston New York leg
badly broken
J W Shaw Spencer N Ci badly
crushed and both legs broken
Garland Thomas Greensboro N C
leg broken and badly bruised
P n Vauls Walnsboro Va
Cora Logan Shelby N C both legs
broken
Iollock New York city badly
ccaldcd leg broken both arms broken

Sam Cox Washington D C leg

All of theao nro negroes
A UGSCUKIVS STORY
Mr Curtis tin Jamestown N Y
man who led the rescue work In tnlk
Ing to the representative of tho Asso
ciated Press paid
It npjenrd to me that tho pm
v ngcrH who wero uninjured were
dazed and they did not appear to
rrallzn that something must bt done
1 talked to them and they began to
work You never saw men work
harder In your life
hIn the rear of the Pullman which
was omnshad timers was a mother
with a 6monthiold babe They wro
In a drawing room which had hem
smashed but strange to say they were
not hurt In tho slightest They were
gotten out and taken tn safety I
think there voro at least five bodies
Including Mr Spencer that were cre
mated AH far as I know tho train
attaches aid not aid In the first relief
because they hud gone both ways to
protect the two trains from other and
mom serious trouble
Mr Curtis has In his position a
valuable case of Jewel which Val
handed to him by a lady Ho dos not
know to whom It belongs and why It
was handed him It evidently II > tho
property of some ono of mennn M It
contains a heavy net diamond ring and
other Jewels if value Irom the re
ports It appears that tho passengers
killed outright were Kctun sK men
and a womanthe latter believed to
bo a ncgicsi Those killed were Prc

football day and the whistle blows at
3 oclock for the kickoff with Just the
right quality of crisp air frozen ground

So far the sun has not been able to
go down on Utah victories for thn
final hurrah was shouted to leaden
skies or Into bunks of drifting snow
The Held has been sloppy and wet and
haddocks fighting machine has been
able to form with only a promise of Its
power on a dry field
Today the field Is diy An Inspec
tion of It at 2 oclock by the News
shows that the mornings wind Ins
been Just cold enough to prevent an

LOGAN IX GOOD SHAPU
Logan comes to play tho game In
the finer fettle of tho two teams Utah
looks to Logan like Boulder looked
to Utah before tho final tfst ot
utrensth a big foe worthy of the best
mettle In tho team Logan looks to
Utah like Utah looked to Boulder a
few yeuri Ilon poor rival hardly
worth the battle and to be beaten BO
easily as to occasion slight cause for a
hurrah Tho easiest team In tho
world to beat Is ono that has just won
n big victory Witness the defeat or
the worlds champions at baseball the
very week after tho perlos this year
The university has prepared for thH
game without superlative Interest
while Logan has mado It tho fight
of tho season Thcio are no Utah
rooters paradinG the street today
There IB no band out to cheer the men
and there wore only slight demon
strations before tho game The Utah
students are not going to see n foot
ball battle They lira going to see
their team win again In a struggle
MN MNW
that Isnt a tlrugglo fiom their view
point and will simply be a gathering
In of tin candy
With Logan however there wan de
termination written on the features of
every player ns the men talked over
things this morning at the Ken > on
PREPARED TO TIGHT
Conch Campbell spent the morning
keeping his men quiet and resting up
for tho Kiiine When asked for nn > > x
pressloii of opinion on the outcome he
said You can ny for me that wo me
here to play a hard game mutt to tight
evety inch of the way to the goal
whether It Is our own on the defensive
01 our opponent when wo have tho
ball With one exception tho men are
In good shape and have worked haul
for the game
Capt Nelson the biggest man who
vcr put on a football uniform In
Utah hud to be looked up whllo tho
reporter asked for his version of the
Iame
You sec he said looking down
Horn nn expansive front of blue sweat
er with a white A on It we have a
few new mon with us this year but
they aro old students who simply hove
not played the game before McGowm
Is new and so ure Waaniguard Uvnns
Peterson and Brosard We are going
to win because wo certainly camo
down here to put up the hardest fight
that Is In us
COMPARISON OF TEAMS
A comparison ot the two teams shows
a weight advantage favor of Logan
Utah plays d few now men too Ex
Capt Peterson Is out of the game and
Del Bennlon trees Into his lot lineup
uj u varsity moil Light little Xnder

I other and Pitt at quarter to share tine
placo with Sutherland as the game pro
I gresses Brown Is back In the jmmo at
I half back and this may keep McKenna
out Tho Utah hack field trio Is there
fore complete
ADVANTAGE TO AGGIES
For the Assies there Is a terrific ad
vantage hi Nelson Coach Maddock Is
an advocate of consolidation for he
lays that with Frew and Nelson und
a few more of the best Aggie men add
ed to his lineup there would be only
one team In the west and Utahs su
premacy would be n long time being
questioned Nelson plays against Bry
ant or pos sllly Snow both new men
and light Under the old rules Logan
would almost have n certainty of keep
Ing the ball by driving Nelson through
tackle with a speedy back like Frew
coming In from behind with the oval
The new rules help Utah and her
speedy back field may be the deciding
quality of excellence that decide the
I day Doth teams play the rapid fire
