Nearly Every One In the Dining Car Was Instantly Killed—Scores Scald ed by Steam From Disconnected Pipes—Mrs. John W. Cutler of Bing hamton Was Killed In the Baggage Car Where She Was Rearranging Contents of Her Trunk —Mrs. Grum mond Was With Her but Was Saved Under an Arch of Trunks Party From Reading, Pa., Bore the Brunt of the Disaster. Santa Barbara, May 13. Twenty nine dead and a score injured com prise the casualties due to the wreck at Honda Saturday of the Ismailia spe cial train of New York and Pennsyl vania Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, who Were returning home from the an nual meeting of the Imperial council of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine at Los Angeles. The train carrying 145 Shriners and friends from Ismailia temple, Buffalo, Rajah temple, Reading, Pa., and neighboring cities, was running north at 50 miles ail hour on the Southern Pacific Coast line when the locomo tive struck a defective switch at the sand swept siding at Honda near the Pacific ocean, along which the railroad runs for a 100 miles north of Santa Barbara. Coaches Crushed and Burnt. The locomotive turned a somersault Into the sands. The cars landed on the wrecked locomotive and the coaches were crushed and took fire. The flames were soon extinguished by uninjured persons from the two rear coaches. As Honda is isolated, it was not till late Sunday that definite information of the wreck could be obtained. The bodies of 25 victims are now at Santa Barbara and four more are at San Luis Obispo The injured, many of whom are terribly hurt and some of whom may die, are in two sanitariums at San Luis Obispo. The wreck occurred at 2:35 o'clock, an hour and 40 minutes after the con clave's visitors, forming a merry party, left Santa Barbara. They had spent all the morning there sightseeing. That the train was making terrific speed when it struck the defective track is borne out by the fact that it covered the 01 miles of crooked track from Santa Barbara to Honda in 100 minutes. The locomotive in leaving the rails tore up the track, badly twist ing the steel rails. The baggage car half burled itself in the sand beside the locomotive. It was smashed al most to kindling wood. All In Dining Car Killed. The dining car, in which were 32 persons eating luncheon, bounded into the air and fell directly on the de molished locomotive. Nearly every person in the dining car was immedi ately killed. Scores were scalded by steam escaping from disconnected pipes. The rear coaches were hurled into the wreckage, killing or injuring those who might otherwise have escaped. Several persons pinioned in the de bris were roasted alive. Engineer Frank Champlain was pitched with the cab 25 feet beyond the engine. He got up and ran a mile, seeking help before he discovered that his arm was broken and that he was severely scalded. Only two of the nine men compos ing the dining car crew are dead. The remainder, though cooped up in the narrow kitchen and pantry, suffered only cuts and bruises. The last call for luncheon had been called but a few minutes before the disaster. Rajah temple of Reading, Pa., had the last car on the train and its mem bers were the last ones to go forward to the dining car. Thus the car was filled almost entirely with Reading people when the wreck occurred. An Instant later after the disaster those who were not incapacitated jumped from the train to render aid, but they were unable to do much be side extinguish the fire, and they had to wait long hours before relief ar rived. Frightened women, peering through the windows of the undamaged sleep ing cars, fainted when they saw the bodies of their friends strewn along the roadside, blood from the wounds staining the sand drifts all about. Men who tolled hard at the task ot' rescue colbpsed. Mrs. John W Cutler of Blnghamton, N. Y.. was in the baggage car at the time of the accident, rearranging Hie contents of her trunk. Iter body was driven through the floor and the wrecked car had to he jacked up be- CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1907. .'ore her body could be released. Mrs. Fred flrummond of Bingham ton was with Mrs. Cutler and also went under the tons of baggage and broken wood and iron, but an arch of trunks saved her from death. When rescuers burrowed their way to where the two women lay, Mrs. Grummond grasped the foot of one of the men and shouted: "I'll not let go until you get me out." The steam enveloped her and she "was terribly scalded. She was res cued, however, and was among those taken to San Luis Obispo. When Miss Cora Young of Cleveland was taken from the shattered dining car, she was still alive but frightfully Injured. Her entire body had been showered with boiling water. A Model of Unselfish Chivalry. George Hagenman of Reading re fused the aid of his brother nobles aft er they had dragged him, fatally hurt, from the wreck. "I am dying," he said, "go help the women." Sander Deabold of Cleveland worked heroically b'ut unavailing to save the lives of two women pinioned beneath the burning dining car. Burrowing his way down into the smouldering, splintered wreck, Deabold, with a hose which he had wrenched from a coach conned ion. poured water from an ad jacent, tank on the debris and extin guished the flames. Then he cut away the broken timbers that held her fast and took Mrs. William W. Essick of Reading from the ruins. She was begging piteously for relief when he reached her. As he lifted her from the wreckage a stream of boil ing watar spurted over her. Women passengers sought to remove her up per garments "but fainted when the flesh came off with the clothing. Mrs. Rssiek expired a few minutes later. Deabold was unable longer to endure the harrowing sight. Two Women Killed In Baggage Car. Henry J. Fisher of Cleveland went with his wife and her daughter, Miss Cora Young, to the baggage car just before the wreck. The two women were killed and he escaped almost un harmed from the wreck of the baggage car, being hurled through the roof to the yielding sands of the beach. He wandered dazedly about the streets Sunday, asking rhournfully: "How did X escape? Why should they die and I live?" A. D. Wasson of Buffalo was eating at a corner table, within six inches of hot water tanks. When his rescuers neared him he yelled encouragingly. Dragged from the range of the scalding stream, he murmured "Thank God," and died. His wife and baby were with him and they escaped injnry. C. M. Tyson of Buffalo is ill at Pot ter hotel, unnerved by his experiences. He faced death many times while drag ging from the debris the bodies of friends. He finally collapsed under the strain. It was sometime after the wreck oc curred before a word of it reached the outside world. As soon as one of the uninjured trainmen could make his way to the station, word of the wreck was telegraphed to San Luis Obispo. Immediately special trains were ar ranged. Physicians and nurses, gath ered hurriedly, were quickly on the way to the wreck. At 4 o'clock a relief special left Santa Barbara and made the CI miles to Honda in 90 minutes. Simultan eously another special left San Luis Obispo occupied with nurses and doc tors. It arrived shortly before the one that left this city. But what work of rescue was possible had been done by those who had escaped the disaster. Twenty-live bodies lay on the sand besides the track. The injured, many of them unconscious and dying, were scattered about on piles of bedding and plush seats brought from the Pull mans. It was determined at once to re move the injured to San Luis Obispo and to take the dead to Santa Barbara. The work of placing them upon the two trains was quickly accomplished. Before the special bearing the in jured had reached San Luis Obispo four persons more had succumbed to their wounds. Physicians and nurses worked over the survivors incessant ly. Arriving at its destination, the train was met by a score of ambul ances and automobiles and the injured were quickly carried to sanitariums. In the meantime the train return ing to Santa Barbara with its dead was side-tracked at a lonely switch for the passage of other trains. Far out on the sandy desert, miles from any habitation or from any wire com munication with the outside world, the special waited for two hours while train' after train of shriners bound from Los Angeles to their Eastern homes swept by to the north. In tha darkness the occupants of these trains did not know that they were passing the funeral train of their brethren. Many of the dead were so severely burned and mutilated as to be almost unrecognizable. The three undertak ers' rooms were besieged all night by shriners who were still in the city and by daylight all of the dead had been identified. Coroner Ruiz began an inquest yes terday afternoon on the bodies of the victims. Joel 11. Prescott of Buffalo was the first witness. He testified that the train was running at a high rate of speed. In answer to questions of the district, attorney Prescott said that the relief train from Santa Bar bara reached the wreck shortly after 5 o'clock. The accident occurred at 2:35. The train carrying the dead started at 7 o'clock and did not reach Santa Barbara until 1:30 a. in., or six and a half hours after leaving the wreck.
