SIX ARE KILLED
AT KALAMAZOO
FAST FREIGHT TRAIN CRASHES
INTO A TROLLEY CAR, CAus-
ING TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
FREIGHT CARS ON SIDING AND
SLIGHT CURVE oBSTRucTs
VIEW OF CONDUCTOR.
Lives Of Five Snuffed Out Instanta
neously; One Dies in Hospi-
tai; Others Injured.

Six persons were killed and twelve
others Injured when a fast freight
train crashed into street car at the
Michigan Central crossing on Main
street, Kalamazoo.
The train was going at terrific
speed, and came upon the car with
out warning, its approach being hid
den by string OF box cars. The
conductor OF the car had gone ahead
and after looking up and down the
track, had signaled his motorman to
60 ahead
He had 10 more than done so than
the train came around slight curve
and crashed into the troll ey car,
which had just started across the
track
The front end of the car was
smashed to kindling wood. and Mo-
torman Abbott's life snuffed out in
an instant. So were the lives of four
passengers.
Sounded No Warning.
The train, it is alleged. sounded no
warning whistle, although the cross
ing is known as very dangerous one
on account of slight curve just east
OF 1t. At the time of the wreck some
box cars were standing on a siding,
and an engine on another track, max
ing the view from the street, always
meager, still more so.
The story of how the wreck hap
pened is best told in the words OF the
conductor, Vern Van Horn. and L. ID.
Barker. a passenger who got off the
car with Van Horn when he started
ahead just before the crash to see if
all was clear.
Van Horn is a nervous wreck since
the accident, but before he collapsed
he told this story of the circum-
stances:
I'VE waited for a switch engine TO
pass over the crossing. Our car stood
about so feet from the crossing
When the switch engine and the cars
which were running east had passed
! jumped out of the vestibule and
ran ahead on the track.
Van Horn Almost Struck.
There were a number of cars
standing on a siding near the cross
ing. An engine headed west also
stood at tie water tank down the
track, snort distance from the cross
Ing. / looked twice to make sure that
the engine was not moving Then
motioned my car ahead. Just as
stepped to one side to let my car
pass, out from behind the box cars
came the train at terrific speed. |
was almost directly between the
street car and the train and how es-
capped do not know. Then came the
crash.
my God, will never forget it. Oh,
ii was awful
"Motorman Abbott was a personal
friend OF mine. ! know he was killed.
oh, | know It, Since Abbott and
have been running together we have
tried to get along without a single
accident and this was our first"
Van Horn is married and has two
children. He is 25 years old.
