Dug Men From Wreck. When the police-and the ambulance men arrived on the scene they were aided by the railroad men and lost no time In digging into the ruins. Golden, the stoker, was burled beneath his engine, whirled there by the force of the collision, his fire door cn the locomotive still open. His body' was not found until hours after the wreck had occurred.

Engineer Murphy was burled In a pile of coal, but was soon found. He was unconscious, but breathing. The engineer was scalded and frightfully bruised. Conductor Frank Stadtlander was next found pinioned In the baggage car, crusncd horribly by timbers and scalded by eacap- John Stlckel, the mall clerk, burned over the entire He was taken to tat City Hospital In the police automobile ambulance.

In the presence of hia wife the dying man showed, remarkable fortitude and courage despite the torture cf hid burns. At 1:30 he died, and the wife who tried to keep up her courage he was alive broke down and gave vent to her grief In heart! roken sobs. The hospital physicians say Stlckel was one of the most courageous men In the face of agonizing death ever seen in that institution. The next unconscious man carried out was "Jlmmie" wis, -the. brakeman.

He had been caught In the baggage car with his conductor. The men were washing t.p preparatory to reaching the end of the run at Cincinnati. While the rescue of the railroad men was going on others were busy helping the passengers through windows and other exits. Many of then) were scratched and bruised, but 'none seemed to 'be seriously injured. They quickly made their wsy to the ee-uamsville car line a block away- and continued to town In that manner.

Passengers Had Arisen. AH of the Pullman passengers had ailsen from their berths and were dressed witn the exception of one woman who tied to the snow-covered street opposite tne tracks in a dressing gown. Some one finally crawied through the cars and recovered her clothing fur her. When uie work of rescuing the Injured was over, the wreck presented a strange spectacle. Tne day cuach iay crushed on its side on Bridge street, a tew feet from the track.

The mail car was s.nasned, while the combination baggase and day coach was stove In. The locomotive, weighing many tons, lis 'wneeis sitli whin.ns, had crushed the combination car. The Pullman cars did not suffer much, coupled as they were on the rear end s-ud away from the locomotive. General YardmasKr Kel.ly summoned the wrecking crewa of botb Uie ilg Four and the B. and O.

Railroads. The four main tracks ot the two roads were blocked with debris, and traffic was held up for some hours. Finally the B. and O. track was cleared, allowing the West-bound 2 o'clock train to pass through, and late in the afternoon the West-bound track of the Big Four was cleaned up.

A crew of 30 section men were put to work after the wreckage was taken away. The rails "for the distance of DO feet had been twisted into the shape of the letter by the turning of the locomotive against the oaches. Engin Completely Demolished. The locomotive itself was entirely and will go to the scrap heap. An engineer In the Big Four roundhouse was oiling up his locomotive when the telephone message came that Murphy had died.

The engine driver dropped his can and climbed up to his cab sobbing as soon as he heard the tidings. He seemed to be ashamed ot his tears. Later he came down again, wiping his eyes. "I can'J help this. Poor 'Murph' and I went on the road together.

He has six kids up at Indianapolis waiting for him to come back," and the old engineer broke down araln. On the way to the Seton Hospital "Jlmmie" Lewis, the brakeman. who died later, saw his friend. J. E.

Pntter. with whom he used to board in Sedamsvtlle, standing near htm. He was being loaded Into an ambulance. "Tell the girl to come at once: I'm In bad shape, I think." he said. Than the brakeman sank again Into unconsciousness.

The "girl" lives in Brook villa, ind. One of Pfltxer's relatives knew her name and sent her a telegram. She wired back that she would be In Cincinnati In the evening. Lewis was well known in Sedamsvtlle. His father was mall carrier In that suburb for years.

STOEIXS OF PASSENGERS Agree as To Terrific Speed of Train None Badly Hurt.

If any passenger was Injured to any serious extent he was able to get away from the scene unassisted without being noticed. It Is not believed, however, that athe passengers were harmed other than being bruised up and possibly slightly cut In several instances. The passengers as quickly as possible hurried to the street car. line and went to their homes or hotels. Some or them stopped In private houses or saloons, where they could telephone to anxious relatives assuring them of their safety.

A good many who were thrown from their berths before they were completely dressed clambered from the coaches ar.d stood about shivering until their nerves were quieted sufficiently to re-enter the coaches and put en the rest of their attire. Three women and a man stopped In front of the Pfltxer boarding bouse, near the scene of the wreck. The women were bleeding from slight cuts on their faces made by glass and the man was holding his arm, but they recused to be treated by the physicians, who had quickly arrived cn the scene, and would not give their names. Tney boarded a street ear after Inquiring about the hotels. Several men who shopped In the Pfltxer place and In JCruse's boarding house said they were bruised, but not enough to require' the services of a physician.

Drs. Tischbeln. Green and Bartley dressed slight cuts for half, a dozen passengers, they say, but none of them' gave his name. Many of the passengers lost their trunks or other baggage, which were reduced to wreckage. Several passengers who were interviewed say the tram was going at great speed around the curve near the Fleischmann distillery- I.

M. Raymond. of Lincoln. and his mother, Mrs. M.

Raymond, had occupied berths in the rear Pullman. Neither Pullman car left the tracks. Mr. Raymond said: The first we knew of anything being wrong was when we were thrown from our seats by the sudden stopping of the train. There was a grinding and crushing sound, and then we beard the shouts of the people In the forward coaches.

We got out and hurried to a street car ni came right downtown. From what I could learn none of the passengers was hurt much." N. E. Sanders, of Grinelle.

One man had his head cut try being thrown against the edge of a seat. The train must have been arolnar at the rate of 60 miles an hour, at least." Frank Spencer, -of Council.

Bluffs, lows, was a passenger In the second sleeper of the fated train and was- in the washroom at the time of the accident. He says that the sleeper was running at a terr'flc rate of speed and did not traverse over llfty feet after the shock came. "I was thrown against the wall of the said "and knocked nearly senseless. I tried to get out, but found the door Jammed. I finally forced it and made my way of the ear.

Chief of Police MlUlkln was unsparing In his criticism of railroad official people In general yesterday afternoon as the result of some experiences he had with them relative to the Big Four wreck at Rivers.de. "I got flash of Information about the wreck from some one that was down there," he said, "and then I began to make Inquiries, calling up 14 different persons connected ruu.

ine nrst was the ticket office, and they tartly reminded me that I was talking to the Big Four ticket office, which was not supposed to know anything atxait wrecks. got 'don't know from everybody from the top to the bottom, I suggested to one of the officials that, he might send a train down to Riverside for the Injured, If there was any. but he seemed to think it impossible. A train eould have taken them to the station in quick time and our wagons and automobile would be waiting there for them. This idea of keeping a thing like that In the dark Is a foolish oi.e.

Finally, i sent the automobile to th wreck witbout having the least Idea, that any one had been Injured at all." i WITNESSES OF ACCIDENT Summoned By Coroner, Who Is Inves-tilting the Couse -wte'e wes: reported' to Conner Coi shortly before, aoon, when the first rlotim died. With Deputy Coroner Bange, 'Coroner's Clerk Von Hoene and. Constable Stagnaro he hurried to the scene In an automobile. The Coroner was busy all after noon viewing bodies and making hia pre liminary Investigation. Two witnesses who saw the train leave the tracks were located by Coroner Coe.

Both had been slightly Injured. Joseph Underwood, of 5-M Delta avenue, a weigher for the Chamber of Commerce, stationed at the Fleischmann plant, was walking down the tracks when he noticed the oncoming train. "They were traveling at a frlg.itful rate of speed." said Vnderwood. "Suddenly. from no apparent reason except Its own momentum, 'the engine left the rails when reached the' curve.

It seemed to turn a somersault and crasd into the cars It had been pulling. I was forced to run for my life, as the air was filled with flying deb-is and the (racks was torn up for yards around." Underwood was cut about the legs and face while working in the wreckage: trying to release some passengers who were pinioned In the debris. Raymond Smith, aged 18, of Soathslde avenue, Sedamsvtlle, told a s'milar story. He was crossing the tracks In front of the train. He was struck by several pieces of debris and severely bruised.

Both men will be subpoenaed to appear at the Coroner's inquest. -Coroner's Constable Stagnaro was notified that considerable Jewelr was ound near the scene, and it( is said that many pasvenger lost valuables In the confusion. A man. who saia nis name was Kdward Snyder, told Constable Stagnaro that he had found a valuable watch, but that some mm, whose name he did not know, had taken it away from him. A man named Brennen found a valuable diamond ring and turned It over to some man.
