TELLS STORY OF THE WRECK
Dal I■«■*■»«*, a well known
<'iti/.4*n of t'niion City, win* was
a passenger on the ill-fated Rio
Grande No. .■», tells the following
story of tin* wreck:
1 was in the sleeper when (lie
crash came. it was only a slight
shock and for a moment I thought
that perhaps it was simply a delay.
When tin* train stopped I knew some
thing had happened and i jumped
from my seat in the sleeper to the
ground.
As 1 ran hack to the tourist car,
which was a mass of ruins, a woman
called to me:
"My baby, my baby—where is she?
1 had her in my arms a minute ago
and the jar knocked her out. She
can’t he far away.”
With that I started to help the
crying mother out of* her misery. I
hunted along tin* track just a min
ute. when I found the infant lying in
tiie snowbank, just waking from a
nap. I picked up the child and start
ed hack with her, but the woman
had disappeared. I do not believe
she was injured, however, and so I
carried tin* baby into the sleeper. I
didn’t find the mother again, hut 1
am certain she is safe. The baby is
in the .sanitarium at Glenwood. It is
only 2 '/fc years old.
After that I did all I could in com
pany with a dozen others of t lie un
injured in saving people in flu*
wreck. We first paid attention to
the women. It was a horrible scene..
Men and women were crying piteous
ly. Those who were not killed out
right were pinioned beneath th«*
wreckage. We broke into the glass
♦•uses in the coaches, and with the
axes and picks removed the debris
so that flic loss seriously injured
could extricate themselves.
One woman was in had shape. She
was caught under a seat, and I pick
ed her up and carried her to the
diner. Later she was taken to the
Pullman when the relief train was
made up. She died just as we were
passing t lirough the tunnel on the
way to Glenwood. 1 did not got her
name. The body is now in the
morgue at Glenwood.
I succeeded in helping seven peo
ple from under the wreckage. All
of the dead and injured were in the
chair car. The wreck took fire at
one time, hut the passengers, with
the help of the train crew, succeeded
1n putting out the blaze. Otherwise
the loss of life would be even greater
