New Mexico express No. 16, eastbound from Lead vi lie and Grand Junction. They met on a sharp Ctire and were less than 00 yards apart when the engineer discovered that a collision was imminent. . rwtlts ataTsrti It is known that the ennineer of the west-bound tram put forth HfORJ possible effort to bring his train to a stop, tut his efforts were fruitless, and although he succeeded in checking the speed of his train, the crasn that followed was beyond his powi r to prevent, and he went to his death vital his hand on the throttle, faithful to his charge. This much is vom .; for by his fireman, who, seeing the uselessness of remaining in the face of sure death, jumped and saved hiruelf. Of the conduct of the. entire crew of the ftftt bound train it can only be said that they died at their post, for no one uvea to tell the story of their heroism Mrr nrpl Ihr rrrk. The dlsasjer was made more horrible by the manner of the death of many of the passengers, variously estimated from n to 3.1.
