How Accident Occurred.
The electric car was coming into the
city and the train was just starting out
for Olympia They met nearly head
on at the intersection of the two
tracks. The passengers of the electric
car were thrown into the bay
where the water was nearly fifteen feet
deep. It is a wonder that no one was
drowned during the panic that fol-
lowed the collision. So far as known
every one is accounted for.
When Motorman Sharpe of the cleo
trio car saw the train approaching he
applied the brakes with all his power.
but the track was slippery and his car
crashed into the locomotive. The pas
sengers made frantic efforts to get off
the platform, but an instant later the
engine on the train crashed into the
streetcar, and about all the people
were thrown into the water below. in
Guiding the man who was fatally in
jured Although he succeeded in ge--
ting off the car he could not succeed
in getting out of its way and when the
engine hit the car he was struck by il
