The w reck was caused by a head-end collision between a Denver A Rio

track torn up for roils iu both üirec tious. To add to the horror of the scene the wreck ace at Mice caught fire from au

explosion of a Pint. seh gas tank on the passenger traiu. and burned so rapidly that many passengers, pinned beneath the debris, were burned to death bc-

' fore help could reach them. The most generally accepted theory ! as to the cause of the wreck seems to b 1 that Conductor Burbank, of the Midj laud special, anticipating the time of j the passenger traiu, undertook to 'steal a statiou" and leat the passe uger into New Castle.

The men fell like so many teu-pins. au.l the excitement since has Ik-cu so intense that no accurate figures of the .lead end wounded can be obtained.

The striker left Hazlctou at Ml o'clock this afternoon, announcing their intention to go to Latimer. A soon as this became known a baud of deputies wa loaded ou a trolley car

and went w hirling across the mountain to the scene, where the bloody assault followed. i After reaching Latimer they left the car and formed into three coiupanie. . under Thomas Hull, E. A.

Sheriff Martin was iu entire comnuind and stood iu front of the line uu- , til the strikers approached. They were seen coming across the ridge, aud Martin went out to meet them. The meu drew up sullenly and listened in silence until he had once : more read the riot act. This finished,

a low muttering arose among the foreigners, and there wa a slight movement forward. Perceiving this, tho sheriff stepped toward them and in a determined toue forbade them to advance. Some one struck the sheriff, and the next moment there was a command to the deputies to lire. The gun of the deputies instantly belched forth a terrible volley. The report seemed to shake the very mouu-in.-, and a cry of dismay went up from the people. The strikers were taken entirely by surprise, and a the men toppled and fell over each other those who remained unhurt stampeded. The men went dowu be1 fore the storm of bullets like ten pins, and the groans of the dyiug and wounded filled the air. The excitement that followed was j imply indescribable.
