Saves Life BY Jumping.

Upton, Ind. Especially .--Disobedi-
ence to orders by the crew of a
freight car is said to have been the
cause of the second interurban trac-
tion wreck within three days in Indi-
ana. This disaster cost the lives of
six persons, the serious injury of six
more and severe hurts to a score.
A southbound freight car crashed
head-on into a northbound passenger
car on the Indianapolis and Peru di-
vision of the Indiana Union Traction
Company shortly after noon, two
miles north of this city. The freight
car was in charge of Motorman Lacy
and Conductor Sebree.
The freight car, it is said, had or
ders to stop at the first switch north
of Ressler's Crossing, but tried to
make the first switch south. A
clump of trees hid the limited and
the crew of the freight barely had
time to jump to save their lives. The
front end of the limited was shat
tered and all passengers in the smok-
ing compartment were killed.
Farmers living in the vicinity of
Ressler's Crossing heard the crash,
and after telephoning into Upton for
physicians, went to the aid of the in
jured. Nearby homes were thrown
open and the seriously injured were
made as comfortable as possible until
the arrival OF the physicians in auto
mobiles. The traction company sent
out special cars from Upton, equip
ped with cots, and the dead and in
jured were brought to this city as
soon as possible.
One of the sad features of the
wreck is that Dr.. w. c. Holthouser,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, who with his
brother, Walter II. Eolthouser, was
killed, was on his way to Kohomo,
Ind, to be married to Miss Nellie
Coxen. The brother was to have
been best man at the wedding. Miss
Coxen was prostrated when she heard
of the death of her fiancee.
II guess we overran our orde s."
said Motorman Lacy, of the freight
car, who, with Conductor Sebree,
jumped when he saw the limited
bearing down upon them.
Just three days ago, almost to the
hour, occurred the fatal wreck near
kingsland, Ind, on the Bluffton
division of the Wabash Valley Trac-
tion Company, which caused the
death of Al persons, with 3 more
still in the hospitals of Fort Wayne
with barely a chance for recovery.
