IF Gary is "visibiy'' alarmed over
the report, as the South Chicago paper
states no one here is aware of the fact.
The people of Gary Nave put too much
trust in the capabilities of the engf-

the matter a particle of credence.

South Bend Man at Scene.

W. H F. Parry, of the Hydraulic
Brick company, Tenth and Broadway.
was one of the first men to the scene
of the wreck. Mr.. Parry spent Satur-
day at South Bend, and was on his way
home when the accident occurred. He
heard the news of the wreck when he
arrived at Michigan City and he lost
no time in getting to the scene of the
disaster.
When I arrived at the wreck I got
out of the car and the first thing
stepped on was a mans arm Looking
about me I realized the awfulness of
the catastrophe.
Laid along the bank, with handker-
chiefs and cloths covering their faces
were the bloody remains of a dozen hui
man beings. I saw that there was no.
thing to do for these poor people so
turned my attention to the wounded
Among the people I assisted were two
South Chicago girls, Stella Menditch,
S649 Manistee avenue and Helen Pion-
PEEK, 1921 Houston avenue. They were
not seriously hurt but were totally IN
nerved.
Then I came to another blod spatter-
ed young man, Lyle Kelly of Michigan
City. I didn't recognize him, but he
knew me After I assisted him he said
that his brother-in-law, Mr.. Merriam
from South Bend was with him but
that he was done for. They had NOV
ed the poor fellow inside but I could
not find him. He was right, Merriam
was done for. He died this morning
II knew both Kelly and Merriam.
Young Merriam was we'll liked in South
Bend. He was just married a few
months ago and held fine position
as treasurer of the oliver and Audi
torium theaters. Kelley is now in the
hospital at Michigan City"
A sad scene was witnessed in Gary
yesterday when Merriams young wife,
bride of three months, and her IA
Their, A. B. Kelly of Michigan City, ar
rived in Gary. After registering at the
Gary hotel they went at once to Mercy
hospital, arriving there just before the
dying man expired. AS he was uncon-
scious he was spared the pain of a
last parting.
Eye Witness Tells Story.
David Crawford. a chauffeur of South
Bend. related story of the accident.
There were about so on our car"
