The train was due at Byron at 6:55 o’clock, | but a defective oil feeder caused | numerous delays and finally | brought the laboring engine to a complete standstill about one hundred yards this side of the| Byron station, ten minutes be- hind time. Conductor William Dolan knew that the Stockton flyer was due to pass there in another ten minutes and he ex- erted frantic efforts to have his| disabled train pulled out of the| way by the engine of a freight train that was standing on a sidetrack. Some difficulty was | experienced in uncoupling, how- | ever, and seven precious min-| utes were wasted before he real- | ized that the attempt ‘was futile. | Then he sent Brakeman G.| B. Cole in hot haste down the| track with a lantern to signal| the approaching train, whose rumble could be heard in the far distance. Cole had barely run two hundred yards| when the headlight of the flyer| burst into view, coming toward him at a speed of nearly sixty-| five miles an hour. Cole swung | his lantern with the vigor-of de- spair, and two sharp toots of the | whistle told him the signal had | been seen. Engineer J. M. Mc- Guire of the flyepinstantly re- versed his engine and applied the air brakes, but the momen- tum of such high speed was too great to be checked in so short a distance and the heavy train| fairly slid over the slippery rail like a-monster catapult. Brake man Duncan afterward told! John M. Halbruge that thd fiyer could not have been| stopped in less than half a mile | at the speed they were running. | With a crash like the fall of a moun- | tain and a shock that shook the walls of | houses a thousand yards away the huge locomotive of the fiyer struck the rear end of the Fresno coach and ploughed its | way through shattered timbers, writhing | iron and mangled men to within four feet | of the farther end, leaving roof and walls to hang above the roaring engine like a | shell. The tremendous impact also drove | the far end of the gutted coach agklnsll the dining-car ahead, crushing its tjm-| bers like so much paper for a dozen feet or more and serfously injuring four cooks and two waliters of the diner's crew. The passengers in the rear end of the | Fresno coach were thrown from thelr| seats and pinned against the hanging side | walls by the hot boilers of the locomotive | before they had time to fall, while those farther forward were ground and jammed | into a grewsome heap of mangled fiesh and | splintered bones. A great hole was also | stove into the forward end of the engine, | from which great clouds of scalding| steam roared and fumed and added new horrors to the anguish of the wounded.

Above the bellowing of the dying loco- motive could be heard the shrill shrieks of human woe,which took on a new note of terror when a little flock of winged vul- tures of flame began to flutter ‘up the sides of the car and lift their eager beaks toward,the still living victims imprisoned there. But ready hands were there to save and this new horror was socn elim- inated. 2 The crash of the collision had brought the entire population of the village from their homes and as quickly as human feet could carry them a large force of men was at work with axes and crowbars, breaking open windows and ripping away timbers to release the hapless victims within. The threatening flames were quickly subdued and onme by one the woupded were lifted out and laid along- side’ the track upon mattresses taken from the Pullman cars of the Owl train. -HERCIC SERVICE OF WOMEN. Here sympathetic women from near-by houses rendered herofc service, binding up thé gaping wounds of the mangled and applying thing oils and lotions to the scalded. Three of these angels of mercy were the Misses Emily and Clara Hoff- man and Miss Clara Banfil. As soon as they realized what had happened they rushed to the scene of the wreck with armfuls of sheets for bandages and bot- tles of witchhazel and oil. They labored unceasingly until after 8 a. m. and many a sufferer blessed their tender hands and gentle words of hope and encouragment. Tre chill night air was the cause of 50 much distress to the injured that great bonfires were built along the track where they lay, lending a weird aspect to the scene of agony and death. Telephonic messages were promptly responded to by physicians of the vicinity, who quickly brought order out of the confusion and did their utmost to save both life and limb. Among these were Dr. J. W. Hammond and Dr. Burke of Byron and Drs. Bower- man and Gardner of Brentwood. Under their direction several wagons were pressed Into service. and as fast es their wounds could be temporarily dressed the injured and dying were re- moved to places of shelter. Some were taken to the little Methodist church, where a warm fire was burning in antici- pation of a merry festival. Others were carried to the Congregational Church, where every comfort possible was pro- vided for the survivors. BRIDAL PARTY MEETS DEATH. Beveral were also cared for at the B; ron Hotel, where the proprieicr's wife, Mrs. N. J. Gray. placed everything the house contained at their disposal, includ- ing her own services as nurse. One of the sufferers brought here was Miss Amelia Mayer, whose eyes had been shriveled and body frightfully burnea by the scalding steam. She could not be- lieve that she was blind, and Kept con- tinually calling for some one to turn on the light s0 she could see for herself how badly she was injured. She died on he train yesterday morning whiie being removed to this city, mercifully uncon- scious of the fact that her mother, two sisters and baby brother lay severely in- cured in the car ahead. There were many pathetic incidents, but none more so than the story of the unheeded party of Chinese who were ground to death in the forward end of the car. It was a bridal party bound for Fresno, two of them having been married that very afternoon in Chinatown. The groom was Kkilled outright and his body yet remains unidentified at the Martinez Morgue. The bride was rescued alive, but she died yesterday at the Railroad Hospital and was later |Idenfified as Quong Ching. The mother,6f the Japan- ese baby was also dangerously injured, but she gave no heed to her own shat- tered frame and cried only for her baby, of whose death she was kept in ignor- ance, sMany criticisms of the railroad com- pany were voiced yesterday by Byron folk, who say that no relief train was sent from the city until after 4 o'clock. A number of the less seriously injured, however, were brought on here by the undamaged cars of the Owl train shortly after midnight, while the remainder who still Hved were removed about 6 a. m. yesterday by the relief train. Two had already died, and these with the other bodies were taken to the county Morgue at Martinez. Coroner H. J. Currie will impanel a jury this morning, but the in- quest will not be held until further evi- dence is collected. DIES ON THE RELIEF TRAIN. During the trip of the last relief train to the city Miss Mabel Vezey of Mo- desto. was chatting as pleasantly as she could in her armor of bandages with her sister, Mrs. Hill of Stockton, who had been summoned t6 the scene of the wreck by telegraph. “I feel pretty comfortable now,” sald the injured girl, “but I wouldn't caresto see myself in a mirror,” she added, with a touch of humor. Then with a little sharp moan she sank back on her pil- low and expired.” Mids Vezey had been at- tending the Berkeley High School and was on her way to spend the holidays with her sister when the accident occur- red. Sitting beside her at the time was Clarence Olufs, another Berkeley stu- dent, who lives in Fresno. He was killed outright. The young people had been often together and mutual friends gos- siped of a budding romance. But lilies will replace the roses now. Other deaths ‘are feared, as many of the victims are shockingly rutilated and can scarcely survive the only resource of op- erations. Walter Vernon of Fresno had the skin completely stripped from both hands, not a vestige remaining below the wrists. Amputation will be necessary above the elbows. In fact, many of those who have died since the collision were al- most cooked and stripped of skin by es- caping steam. There were at least three narrow es- capes which lend strength to the theory of destiny. Frank Short, the well-known Fresno attorney, left his seat in the Fres- no coach barely a moment before the crash to take dinner in the dining-car ahead with Senator Chester H. Bowell, editor of the Fresno Republican. Both escaped without injury. MIRACULOUS ESCAPES. Bert Einstein_son of the Fresno banker, was also one ‘of the lucky ones. He was standing on the rear platform of the Owl train when he saw the fiyer approach and jumped off just in time to save himself. The most miraculous\adventure of all, however, was that of 8. 8. Crites of Ba- kersfield. He occupled -one of the rear seats and when the crash came the im- pact threw him through an open window to the ground with no further damage than a sprained wrist. He didn’t notice this at the time and worked with the res- cuing party until he fainted from the pain and shock. burned. The father's leg was broken.” In discussing the cause of the accident, Mr. Short said he understood that the trains @ad each left Brentwood at the losing proper time, but the Owl was time. He did not think the period be- tween the stopping of the Owl end the crash was more than three minutes. The man who went back to give the signal, RN INJURED ENGINEER OF THE STOCKTON FLYER WHICH CRASHED INTO THE OWL LIMITED NEAR BYRON SATURDAY NIGHT, KILLING A SCORE OF PASSENGERS AND FATALLY INJURING MANY OTHERS, AND THE ENGINE AS IT APPEARED AFTER THE TERRIBLE COLLISION. THE WRECKED LOCOMOTIVE | AKLAND, Dec. 21.—J. Milton McGuire, the engineer of the Stockton flyer, does not assume responsibility for the wreck, nor does he especially shift the blame upon any one. Although too badiy injured to make an official statement to the company's officers brcther-in-law, William Guening, resid- ing at 1765 Chase street, while being car- ried from the Oakland mole this morn- ing to the Southern Pacific Hospital in San Francieco. In an nterview the en- sireer's brother-in-law sald: ‘“According to my brother-in-law's ver- sion of the affair the statements that after seeing the warning signal light he certinued full speed is incorrect. At the iime of the collision the air was on and the train slowing down, but not very much. The signal light was not taken far enough back to bring the train to a sto} Every effort was mad 0 stop the speed and the shortness 0! it was impossible. ““My brother-in-law was thrown ninety feet by the force of the collision. An en- gineer sits on the right side of the cab. Iie was picked up on the left side of the track, ninety feet from where the trains met. He stayed with ris engine, as did also the fireman. EXPECTS A COLLISION. “For some time he has felt that some- thing just like what happened would oc- cur. Almost every time he goes home after a run he Calls at my house. The right before he went out on this last run he remarked that a collision would cer- tainly occur before long if the system of flagging and running of trains were not chunged. He remarked that it was not the proper thing for a brakeman to go bach two or three telegraph poles and flag a train, as the time would come when the oncoming train could not be brought to a stop in time. “He also remarked that the closeness with which the Stockton fiyer followed tne Owl did not give ample time to prop- erly place signals. Well, last night the expected happened and the wreck came. TRAINS HARD TO STOP. “I do not believe my brother-in-law was excited or that he did not see the signal. From what he told me going to and at the hospital I believe he did everything pos- sible under the circumstances and was not guilty of carelessness. He does not place the blame upon any one, but does not think he was at fault.” McGuire resides at 972 Center street. He is_married. George V: Cole, the brakeman on the Owl, whose duty it was to flag the Stock- ton train, when seen at his home, 2139 ‘Ward street, Berkeley, positively de- clined to answer any questions until he had made an official report to the officers of the company. He declined to either deny or corrobo- rate the story of Kugene McGuire rela- tive to the signal lights being placed back a “few telegraph poles.” He would not say how far back he went or when he left the Owl train to place the signal lights, stating that he had absolutely nothing to give out to the public until the Southern Pacific officials had made an investi- gation. He also flatly refused to state how much time there was between the two trains. TWO VICTIMS' WHOM FRESNO HOL]?S HIGHLY FRESNO, Dec. 21.—Clarence Olufs, who was killed in the wreck at Byron Satur- day night, was one of the best known young men in Fresno. He was born in the distance 1 he told the story of the collision to his| e train, but owing to the tf{flc rate of | Davisville, Cal.,, and would have been 23 years old on Christmas day. Most of his life had been gpent in Fresno, where he attended school for many years, gradu- ating here from the Fresno High School n 1899, Shortly afterward he entered the { First National Bank and worked up to | & responsible position during his three | years there. A colleglate education had always been his ambition and the money he earned in the bank was saved to /pay for his uni- versity course. He resigned his position in the bank last August and entered the agricultural department of the University of California. Among all his acquaint- ances Clarence Olufs was regarded as an exemplary young man. He was ambitious, £tudious, temperate—a man in whom everybody had great confidence and for | wbhom a bright future had been pre- dicted. His father is a grain buyer in this eity. ) Mrs. Lillian Smith was the wife of G. H. Smith of, the firm of Smith Bros., well- known drufgists. She made her home in San Francisco, Mr. Smith being in that city almost as much as he is here. She was on her way to spend Christmas with him. All Saturday night and until the Owl arrived this morning Mr. Smith was half crazed with anxiety. As he could receive no definite word as to whether of not his wife had been injured, he left for Byron on the first train this morning. Mrs. Smith was a native of England, aged about 35 years. FRANK SHORT GIVES VERSION OF THE WRECK e FRESNO, Dec. 21.—“It was Indescrib- ably awful,” said Frank H. Short to-day in discussing the wreck. "I was at dinner with Mr. Rowell when the accident oc- curred. A young girl who was sitting op- posite us with.a young man was hurlcd against me, her head striking on my nose and nearly breaking it. She immediately became hysterical, and Mr. Rowell and myeelf had to carry her out of the car, where everything was confusion. Several successive jars occurred, the lighis went out, glass was crashing all about us, the chandeliers toppled down and the crowd was almost panic-stricken. As soon as we got her out we carried her forward and put her into a car, where she was taken care of. “We then ran back to the Fresno car, and there was a scene of the most terri- ble description. There were groans and shrieks of awful agony,-and the evidences of suffering were heart-breaking. Men were begging, appealing, swearing and groaning. And everything was in utter darkness. A fence was torn down and fires started to give light. Men were seen sticking out of windows with their limbs caught in’the mass of wreckage. Some had doubtless met instantaneous death, while others were horribly scalded and impaled in the debris. On one side of the car the people seemed to be mostly scald- ed, while on the other side they were crushed. Among those perfned up there were no slight injuries; all were either killed outright or seriously hurt. “We immediately began the work of res- culng. With axes and saws we made our way into the car and worked back along the seats, carrying out the poor unfortu- | nates. I think every person I carried out had a broken limb. The people in the train worked ‘heroically and everything possible was done to allay the sufferings of the injured. The special from Byron Srrings, bringing Dr. Davidson and Dr. Bird, arrived promptly and soon the in- jured that could be extricated from the dle‘:rls were made as comfortable as pos- sible. “In going around the car my attention he said, could hardly have had time to stop the Flyer before it was on the Owl. However, Mr. Short explained that he did not have a very distinct idea of time. The Fiyer, he sald, must have come onto the Fresno coach at nearly full speed. The brakes, possibly, had just been set. How the engineer and fireman were not | kiiled crashing through the train is a mystery; they both must have lain down. It was a complete telescoping. The trucks of the Fresno coach were forced forward under the diner and the wheels of the engine remained on the track sup- porting the coach. The engine was com- pletely covered by the shell of the coach, and that anybody escaped alive from the | trap is a mystery. The fender of the en- gine tore into the rear of the dining car, injuring those in the kitchen. ELLA SULLIVAN IS IDENTIFIED AFTER DEATH OAKLAND, Dec. 21.—The body of a young woman who died from her injuries while being taken to the rallroad hospi- tal in San Francisco was identified to- night at the Morgue in Oakland as that of Miss Ella Sullivan, 25 years old, a do- mestic in the employ of H. T. Brown, at 130 Ninth street, Oakland. Brown and Jo- seph Pickford, a livery stable proprietor of Fresno, her brother-in-law, recognized the badly scalded remains. Miss Suilivan left the Brown residence Saturday afternoon to take the Owl train for Fresno. She intended to go to the Pickfords’ home to act as godmother at the christening to-day of her brother-in- law’s child. Pickford became worried at the failure of his relative to np;:ar and after learning of the coliision Byron left home in search of his missing rela- tive, fearing she had been hurt. His quest ended at the Oakland Morgue, where the body had lain unidentified since morning. ——————— e Fault. , AKLAND, Dec. 21.—The break- ing down of englne 1411, which was hauling the Owl train, was the primary cause of last night's catastrophe at Byron. A defective tube blew out just as the train’ reached the edge of the town. Engineer Louls C. Kerr stopped the train and had called a freight engine to take the place of his disabled locomotive. The ergine was just about ta couple on to the | standing train when the crash came. Kerr noticed that the Owl's big engine flues were leaking soon after the Owl passed Brentwood. Before he reached Byron the tube blew out and he had to bring his train to a standstill. Kerr, who is one of the oldest engineers in the Southern Pacific service, summoned Con- ductor Dolan and directed him to send a brakeman back to flag the approaching Stockton fiyer. Kerr declares there was ample time for the brakeman to properly signal the oncoming train. The engineer was seen to-night at his residence, 2312 Fulton stret, Berkeley. He said: STOP IS UNAVOIDABLE. “Just before we passed Brentwood I no- ticed that some of the locomotive flues | were leaking. We were almost on time ! out of Brentwood, running then about two minutes late. “Before we got to Byron a tube blew | out. I stopped the train inside of the west switch at that point. Byron is not a reg- ular stopping place for the Owl, but in this case because of the broken tube, it would have been impossible to have run | | the train 200 feet farther. “As soon as the train came to a stand- still T left the dhgine and notified Con- | ductor Dolan of the disabling of the en- | gine. | “Under the regulations of the company, | it Is the duty of the rear brakeman on | the train to go back and to flag against approaching trains in case of such stop- pages as occurred at Byron. In order that everything should be right, and to take every precaution, I suggested that the front brakeman, Ed Austin, should | accompany Cole, the rear brakeman, | | when he went back to flag the Stockton fiyer. The two brakemen went together, and shortly Austin returned to the train and said that Cole was going back and walking fast. Cole, Austin said, was then a train’s length_say 400 feet, back on the track, and still walking rapidly. NO LACK OF TIME. “It ‘was between seven and eight min- | utes after I stopped the train before the collision occurred. At =the time - the Stockton train hit us I was in the cab | of my engine with my fireman, The shock | was very light. There was only a slight | concussion and my engine was moved about four feet. ! “There was plenty of time after the | moment I stopped the Owl for the brake- | man to properly flag the Stockton train. As 1 said before, fully seven or eight minutes elapsed between the time the Owl stopped and the time the collision occurred. | | “After the collision I talked with pas- | sengers who were on the Stockton train and one man told me that he felt the brakes set just an instant before the shock came of the smash-up.” ‘ That the disaster was not rendered even | more horrible by the burning of the ! coaches from ofl fuel in the locomotive of the Stockton flyer was due to the | | bursting of the oil tank in the tender. It contained 1500 gallons of ofls but the force of the collision smashed the tank and the inflammable fluid ran out without be- | ing ignited. | L o e e N e 2 Y ) Miss Sullivan was caught in the Fresno car and her body was scalded from head tc feet. She had been swathed in band- | ages and placed on the rellef train to be moved to San Francisco, but before Oakland was reached death ensued. She was born in San Francisco. e i Killed on His Wedding Eve. | FRESNO, Dec. 21.—The death of Rob- ert Renwick was a peculiarly sad one, as he was to have been married to-morrow | night and the Invitations had been issued ! and all his family and friends looked for- | ward to the wedding. The bride was to | be Miss Grace Boyer and the ceremony was to take place at the home of her sis- ter, Mrs. G. E. Schatze. He was the son | of William Renwick, a well-known citizen | of Fowler, and there are three brothers, two of whom are employed in this city | and one near here. | Rl S S Berkeley Man Is Badly Scalded. BERKELEY, Dec. 21.—J. T. Donahue, who was among the injured taken to the | railroad hospital in San Francisco, resides | at 2017 Lincoln street.
