SORROW IN ALBA
GLOOM PERvADEs TOWN WHEN
VICTIMS OF WRECK ARE
BROUGHT IN.
Citizens Shocked Over Tragic Death
of Mrs. w. e. Mitchen and Little
Daughter - None of the Injured
People Thought to be Badly Hurt.

Sorrow prevailed in Abba Sunday
when shortly after the wrecking
crews were enabled to remove the
dead bodies of Mrs. w. e. Mitchen
and her little daughter Mildred and
Thomas e. Beatty from the burning
cars, the three victims of the fright
full catastrophe were brought to that
city. Mr.. Mitchen, the bereaved hus-
band and father took charge of the re-
mains of his loved ones, whom he had
parted with such a short time before,
and the bodies were Immediately TAX
en- to the Downs undertaking estab-
lishment, where they were viewed by
hundreds of the sorrowing friends of
the wife and mother who lay cold in
death in the very prime Of life. The
body of Mrs. Mitchen was badly burn.
ed but not enough to make it unrecog-
nizable but little Mildred. whose sweet
baby manners had endeared her to the
hearts of all who knew her, was lit
orally burned to a crisp, her charred
remains bearing no resemblance to a
human form. 1t "a a sight that
brought tears to the eyes of the be.
holders and 1t was rendered doubly
sad when the thoughts turned to the
sorrow stricken husband and father,
who had been robbed of his wife and
only child.
The blackened and charred remains
of Thomas Beatty were taken to the
Zook undertaking establishment
where they remained totally beyond
Identification with only the positive
statements of the fellow employees Of
the victim of the tragic death that he
had been cen on the train at the very
moment of the wreck, to prove his
identity.
Two Seriously Injured.
The Monroe hotel was also shroud.
ed in gloom as two of the men who re.
ceived the most serious injuries were
removed there after being brought
down on the same train with the three
dead bodies. The injured men were
e. r. Browning an emigration agent
for the Missouri Pacific railroad re
siding at Yates Center, Kansas, who
was injured severely about the hips
and received internal injuries and q
T. Scott a prominent contractor Of
Osceola, who had three ribs broker
and was severely bruised. How seri
ously the men were injured was moi
known and. it was thought that two
more names might be added to the list
of victims. Physicians lent ready
hands. however, and it was soon learn
ed that although the mems injuries
were serious, there was every reason
to believe that their lives sould bt
saved. Mr.. Browning was removed tt
Mount Pleasant later in the evening
where he has relatives and Mr.. Scot
remained at Abba where with the besi
of medical attendance he is being
nursed back again to health ant
strength.

No better story of the tragedy was
than that told by Mr.. Browning. as
