other trinket of any kind was found to identify the bones of those who perished in a collision and wreck, closely followed by tire, near Linwood, 27 miles west of Kansas City on the Union Pacific, at 5:30 Tuesday morning. One man is known certainly to have perished in the wreck, J. H. Atwood, conductor of one of the trains, who met his death while trying to warn his. passengers of their danger. Two other men, stockmen, are missing and are believed to have perished, but this will not be definitely known until the Union Pacific surgeon has made a thorough examination of the few bones recovered from the ashes of the burnt car. The list of probable dead is as
follows:
Jay H. Alwood, ^conductor Union Pacific train, Kansas City, Mo: VV. B. Martin, stockman. of Wakefield, Kan.; Herman Smize, stockman, of Clay Center, Kan. To this list, before many hours, will j surely be added two others, for of the ; twelve injured three are fatally hurt. Both trains wore running to 'Kansas City and were in motion when the accident occurred. They were a few min- ^ utes late and the Rock Island train was running fast to make up time. | The Union Pacific train was j near a water tank west of Linwood and was slowing up when 1 the other train crashed into it j Ahead of the two trains was another Union Pacific freight. It is said this ! train threw out a burning signal as warning for the train back of it to run 1 cautiously, it is claimed the second train failed to throw out a similar sig- | nal and this is given as the cause of tiia
disaster.
The Union Pacific train was No. 12. a stock train, due.in Kansas City at 7 o’clock. There were about twenty-five passengers on board riding on tlie combination passenger and baggage car, just in front of the caboose and between it and a stock car. The passengers, or most of them, were stockmen from stations in Kansas who were coming to Kansas City with cattle ami hogs. Nearly all of them were sleeping when the accident occurred. Conductor J. 11. Atwood saw that a collision could not be avoided and started from the caboose to the coach to warn tlie passengers, but lie was caught between the cars and crushed. His rear brakeraan and a young man who were on tlie cabooso saved their lives by jumping. Conductor Atwood’s bravery is spoken of by every
survivor.
Trainmen and passengers who were not seriously injured began at once to save those who were more seriously hurt Four men were dragged from the wreck, more dead than alive. Fire caught from the stoves, and before the dead could be removed the four ears were enveloped in flames. The flames spread so rapidly that the men under the debris of the caboose and passenger coach could not be readied. Faint and piteous calls for help were heard, but the men who had been saved were powerless to aid the poor fellows, and soon their cries ceased. The fire burned with great fierceness and destroyed everything but the iron work of tlie

from which the city has been taking stone for several years under contract, j -i' Tuesday morning several holes had been bored preparatory to receiving the blasting powder, and Thomas BJack was sent to the street, some 20 feet below, to procure the explosive. As he was reascending the hill with a keg of forcite on his shoulder he slipped on the icy surface, the keg falling and exploding with terrific force. Foreman Hardeman and others were standing at the bored holes. Some distance behind Black stood Leary. The concussion tore up the ledge, filling the air with flying pieces of rock, earth, boards and
tools.
Hardeman and Black were instantly killed. The former's body was thrown several hundred feet against the jagged walls, breaking every bone in it. Black was terribly mangled, and Huse, who was standing near the foreman, was thrown several yards in the air, his injuries resulting in death in a few minutes. Leary is at the city hospital so badly hurt that the physicians do not expect his recovery, (lately and McDonald are at the hospital and will probably recover. The noise of the explosion was heard 3 miles and window glass for a long distance was shattered. Missouri's state treasury shows a balance of $447,302, according to the report, just filed.
