train Sunday afternoon.
The dead: VIM. Reinhard, aged Al;
Rachael Reinhard, aged 40; VIM. Rein

hard, aged D.
Injured: Clarence Eeinhard, aged IA

The accident occurred at the Wood
ward avenue crossing of the Big -Four
railroad and opposite the southwest
entrance to the state fair grounds Mr.
and Mrs. Reinhard and their Ave chill
dreu, who resided at ESQ Donaldson
street. were out for an afternoon drive
in surrey.
They had just visited the home of a
Mrs. Huffman. whose husband had
been killed in the railroad yards last
Friday. and were on their way TO the
home of a sister of Mr.. Reinhard.
They approached the railroad crossing
from the east, arriving at that point
just as the westbound passenger train,
arriving here at 3:15 p M, was due.
An eye witness of the accident said
he saw the surrey crossing the track
and at the same instant il was struck
by the train. The vehicle was knocked
into splinters and Mr.. and Mrs. Rein
hard and Arthur and Karl were killed
outright. Edward and William were
so badly injured that they died after

The horse which was attached TO the
surrey was literally ground to pieces
1t is not known whether any of the
members Of the unfortunate family
were aware of the approach of the
train, but the circumstances indicate
that they were not. The crossing has
long been regarded as a dangerous
one, view of incoming trains being OBJ
scured by high fence around the fair
grounds. The train was running at a
high speed.
