ington, was killed and four other prom
inent young members Of the Newport
summer colony were injured in an
automobile accident here this after
noon. The injured include Mrs. James
Kernochan of Hampstead, L. L.; Harry
oelrichs and Herbert Pell jr., of New
York, and Miss Evelyn Walsh, sister
of the man who was killed. The auto
mobile, which was driven by young
Walsh. struck the railing of bridge
spanning creek near Eastern point,
and plunged into the water.
The accident was witnessed by other
automobilists who succeeded in rescu-
ing the five occupants of the Walsh
machine. not. however. without great
difficulty. due to the fact that all the
members of the party we're lying be-
meath the heavy car. The water in the
creek was not deep and to this cir
cumstance is due in part the rescue.
VIM. Walsh, who was about 10 years
old. was not instantly killed. but died
soon after he was taken from the wa
ter. It was learned, later, that as the
automobile crashed over the bridge his
head came in contact with an iron
beam.
The occupants Of the car were on
their way to attend luncheon given at
the Clambake hotel, near Eastern
Point, by Mrs. Clement C. Moore. The
accident happened when the car, a
forty-horse-power vehicle. was speed
ing rapidly down hill. The injured
were treated temporarily at nearby
cottages. Physicians stated that all
probably would recover.

BAD TRAIN DISASTER
NARROWLY AVERTED
Head-on Collision Near MarysviIIe
Results Only In Damage to
Both Locomotives


BY Associated Press.
MARYSVILLE, Cal, Aug. 1.-TWO
crowded oregon trains were in collision
at Lomo, siding six miles above
Marysville, early this morning and a
serious accident was narrowly averted.
Trainmen on the southbound train
claimed when they arrived here few
minutes after the accident. that they
had orders to meet the northbound
train at Lomo and that the northbound
train had orders to meet the other
train at Live Oaks, several miles be-
yond Lomo.
Owing to the fact that the south
bound train was slowing down to make
the siding and that the track for "a
long distance was straight, allowing
the engineers to see the approaching
headlights, terrible disaster was
averted. The pilots and front ends OF
both engines were badly damaged by
the force of the collision. but the jar
to the coaches on either train was felt
by but few passengers.
The engineers saved the trains by
reversing the engines and had almost
succeeded in stopping when they came
