They were riding the blind of the
mail car, and their fearfully mangled
bodies were identified this morning.
Both were young fellows. Bailey
lives with hlB parents over the Camp
bell & Fellman store.
The accident occurred shortly after
i o'clock, just after the local had
pullt-d out of Irving at a .r
.somewhere between thirtv and tortv
miles an hour. The track is on a
s.ight curve, and Engineer Nichols
could nut see the bull until his en
gine was almost on top of It. Accord
ing to his story, which he told in his
! first few moments of consciousness,
the animal was lying between the
! rails sleeping. From the position of
the cars after the accident the engine
was evidently raised off the track
by the animal's body, and then plung
ed down the right side of the road
bed. instead of twisting the coup
lings off at once, the tender went
over the engine, followed by the mail
cur. and shot to the left side of the
roadbed two car lengths beyond the
engine. The mall car went over the
top of the tender, and was projected
furthest along the. light of way of
any of the curs or the tender. The
engine evidently turned a complete
; somersault. Its front being pointed
! toward Portland. The back end of
' the baggage car rested on it, and the
! front end of the smoker also was on
! top of the machine,
