In reply he received not only permis

Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 5 . — One person
killed outright, one so badly injured
that he died soon after the accident,
another severely injured, and many
slighlty hurt, is the result of a wreck
on the Denver & Rio Grande, at Colo-
paxi, seven miles west of Pueblo, at 2
o’clock this morning, caused by the
breaking of a journal on one of the
coaches. The train, the first section
narrow-gauge, from over Marshall pass,
was slowing down to take the siding at
Colopaxi.
While running at 10 miles
an hour, a journal on the rear trucks
of the first day coach broke. The car
pitched over on its side and dragged
with it all tho cars behind, another
coach, two sleepers and the company’s
paycar. Three tourist cars, the bag-
gage-car and the engine, all ahead of
the first coach, remained on the track.
The cars were all crowded with ex
cursionists bound to the Festival of
Mountain and Plain at Denver. There
was little excitement and not much
wreckage, as the train was running
very slowly.
Mrs. McIntyre was in a lower berth
in the forward sleeper, and was found
after the wreck lying dead on the
ground near her berth window. She
was badly crushed.
Mr. Seyler was standing on the plat
form between the two coaches when
the wreck occurred. He was badly
crushed. He was conscious and dictat
ed several telegrams to relatives.
Of the injured, Mrs. Robinson alone
is seriously hurt, and her death is
feared. She is at tho railroad hospital
at Salida.
The list of those hurt is complete
from her case to those who received
only a scratch.
Immediately after tho accident a re
lief train was sent out from Salida,
and all were promptly given attention.
Railroad officials have been overwhelm
ed with inquiries all day, and have
freely given all the information at their:
disposal.
Wrecking crews were sent
from Pueblo, and the track was clear
at 5 a. m.
