Western Newspaper Union News Service - Grand Junction. - Three persons were killed and fourteen others seriously injured when a twenty-ton boulder crashed 100 feet into the day coach and smoker of westbound passenger train No. 3, eighteen miles east of this city. The heavy missile is believed to have been loosened from the cliff by frost. It was preceded by a smaller boulder which struck the coupling between the tender and smoker, parting the train. Automatic air brakes brought the separated section to a stop. A moment later the massive rock was catapulted upon the smoker and day coach. The two cars, despite their all-steel construction, were crushed to bits. The dead: H. R. Hollingsbery, Pueblo, traveling salesman; Thomas C. Linkens, Grand Junction, branch manager Ridenour Baker Grocery Company; Harry Braddock, Chicago. The seriously injured: Ralph Arthur Cox, marine recruit, Boulder, en route to San Francisco, head gashed, left leg crushed, rib fractured, hands bruised; Adna Bratingham, Alliance, Ohio, badly bruised and nervous shock; Emmett Abbott, Sacramento, left ear torn off, severe bruises; Mrs. Stella Maynard, Fruita, Colo., forehead gashed; Audrey Harrington, her daughter, scalp lacerated; W.

Despite the destruction of the two cars, at least twenty men, women and children escaped practically unhurt. At the point where the wreck occurred, the tracks closely parallel the Grand River and cliffs, from which the huge boulder fell, rise sheer hundreds of feet above the river bank. Much of the wreckage of the two cars was plunged into the swift mountain stream.

Holly, Hiram S.
Captain Hiram S. Holly - Pueblo Chieftain - May 28, 1895 - Captain Hiram S. Holly of Otero County, who died in this city early yesterday morning as announced in yesterday's Chieftain was one of the most prominent stockmen in Colorado in the paling day of the cattle business. His great "SS" ranch at Holly in Bent County brought him $875,000 when he sold it, and at the time of his death he was still largely interested in cattle, being one of the heaviest owners in the Columbia Company. He was born in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, July 13, 1843, where he attended school and worked on a farm until he was 15 years of age. In the 28th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry he was discharged and went to New York City where he remained a short time. At the end of which he was employed in the quartermasters department for one year. After a short visit home, he came to Colorado. He left the cars at St. Joseph, Missouri, then the terminus of railroads in the west and came by boat to Nebraska City and then with the ox teams up the Platte River Valley. He found employment in Colorado at North Empire as engineer in a quartz mill. For six months he took charge of it for others and then ran it for himself. During this time he had men out prospecting. In 1868, he started for Arizona with the intention of mining, but remained only a brief time as the Indians were very troublesome. He then went to Gilpin County and was mining in Nevada Gulch until 1870 when he went to Black Hawk to continue mining and milling which he did until the spring of 1871. He then abandoned this business and sought other fields of employment. Unable to find in Colorado such a herd as he wanted, he went to Texas and bought a bunch of 1300 head of mixed cattle and drove them to his "SS" Ranch which had a frontage of 30 miles on the Arkansas and the same of Sand Creek. In 1881 his herd numbered not far from 15,000. After selling his "SS" Ranch Capt. Holly removed to that part of Bent County that is now Otero and located some 6 miles east of Rocky Ford, where his home continued to be until his death. He came to Pueblo a short time since for medical waters and treatment for stomach troubles which caused his death. The funeral will occur at 3 o'clock this afternoon from the First Methodist Church under the auspices of the Masons, of which body he was a member. His family consisting of Mrs. Holly, 3 sons and 3 daughters will all be present. One of his sons was attending the state university at Boulder and the others were at his home near La Junta. Quite a large number are expected from La Junta to attend the funeral. Charles A. Reynolds, treasurer of Otero County, was in the city yesterday making the arrangements for the funeral.
