One Binding Crash.

John r. Boyd, of Marion, Ind, was
probably the only person aboard the
Inflated cars who escaped without
bruises from the wreck.
Il decided to avoid the crush" said
he, Sin the crowded car and got down
on the steps. After we had passed
Kingsland and were rounding a curve,
/ saw the limited bearing down on us
about 200 yards away at a terrific
speed. We were going at about Is
miles an hour. Our car suddenly
gave a lurch forward. Our speed in
creased to fully % miles an hour al
most in a moment. The limited, bear
ing down upon us at 40 miles an hour,
was now not 100 feet away. l saw
what was coming and jumped off.
There as a s~plintering crash and
a dull grinding. The big local car
seemed to climb on the trailer and
heavier loaded car and, from it's pilot
to within six feet of the rear, swept
over the coach, taking it almost clean.
That anything alive could have sur
vived that terrible sweep of splintered
and twisted steel is a miracle.
Following the crash there was a
period of appalling stiffness and then
arose the shriecks and groans of the
wounded. We who survived and had
got out of the wreckage, set about to
do what we could for the wounded.
The dead were taken from the wreck
and cared for or the ground, which
was the best that could be done under
the circumstances.
The big car had completely tele
scoped the smaller. Blood drlpped
from the cars and formed pools be
meath the debris. The conductors
open safety box had become wrench
ed and it was filled with human blood
that had dripped into it. The corpses
taken from the wreckage were terri
bly, mangled.
Il watched n young nan who had
been brought to the scene by news of
the disaster to loved ones. He was
taken to where lay the body of a young
woman. 1t was hat of his sister. He
looked on with dry, fixed eyes. They
told him that his mother was yet to
be found, and forthwith he began to
dig into the charnel heap to find her
body"

Button, Indiana. - Forty-two per

one seems to know. At 1850 a. m,

Wayne. Some n made a mistake.
At Ki%ngsland, Is miles south of Fort
Wayne, the cars met.
Those who were in the accident can
tell little of what actually occurred.
In the extra car were no passengers.
In the regular local were probably 50

death or injury.

Time Is in Doubt.

Even the time of the accident is in
doubt. Probably it was about a half
hour after noon. Out of the ends of
this short curve near K~ingsland, IS
miles south or Fort Wayne, came the
two cars. 1t vas only a flash; a
breath. The cars were together. The
southbound a seemed to take the
right of way. Like a giant missile it
ploughed its way through the traffic
packed coach, coming in the opposite
direction. Its heavier frame cut like
a keen knife a pathway half the length
of the opposing vehicle. 1t cut off
seats an inch above the floor and
smashed and packed in one CHASTITY
mass the whole interior of the cars,

lures, luggage and the bodies of two
score passengers.
In the north bound car there were
only a few capable of giving aid to
the dying. They did what they could
and from fields came the farmers who
either had witnessed the accident or
who had been summoned by neigh
bors. Word was flashed by telephone
to Bluffton and a special car was load
ed with all the physicians available
and SEN to the scene. At nightfall
all the dead and injured had been
removed and the wrecked cars were
lying beside the right of way. a bon

American Aviator Fails.

Chavez was pinned under the motor.
He had tainted on striking the ground
and was bleeding profusely when re-
leased from the w~reckage. The ma
chine was ruined.
Chavez's injuries proved to be more
serious than was at first thought.
Physicians found that both his legs
were broken and that the left thigh
was fractured. His condition is grave.
The American aviator. Waymann,
also attempted the flight, leaving the
table land at Brig at 1:1O p. m, Later
word was received here that he had
descended after being In the air four
minutes. He started on another at
tempt at 3.43 o'clock.
Chavez crossed the Simplon at 1:48
and thus accomplished what has been
regarded as n of the most daring
feats attempted by air nGvigators. He
had waited patiently for favorable
weather for the route where strong
winds are the rule.

Most Reckless Flight.

winds are the rule.
Most Reckless Flight.
The weather for the competition was
excellent. The haze that had gath
cred on the mountain tops, was early
blown away and the wind died out.
Chavez believed the favorable op-
portunity he had awaited since Mon
day morning had come and he decided
to make the start. He got away at
1929 o'clock. He reached here at 2:11
o'clock.
There is general regret that fate
which permitted him to make what
has been described as the most reck-
less flight attempted, should have
dealt less kindly with him when he
had reached the zone of easy flying
and the prize was in sight.
With the exception of Chavez and
Weymann, the aviators abandoned the
competition.
Follows Road Napoleon Built.
This morning both sides of the Alps
reported clear weather, but the top of
Simplon Pass vas obscured in a haze.
Chavez rose to a height estimated at
nearly 1000 feet. 1t was known that
it would be necessary for him to clear
the pass where the summit rises $500
feet.
He apparently maintained this alti.
tude for at least g half hour and fol-
lowed the road built by Napoleon in
1900 over the Simplon Pass. He COW
cred the eight miles that took him
over the top of Simplon and then
sailed gracefully over the Is miles
down to. D~omodossola.
Easy Finish Lay Before Him.
Arriving at Domodossola he had left
the hardest part of his journey behind
him, having escaped the high peaks
and the tumble of rocky gorges on
this side of the summit.
The remaining distance to Milan of
fers less difficulty but leads over Lake
Maggiore and a succession Of plains.
The distance from Brig, Switzerland,
to Milan is rs miles and the prize was
for the aviator who should accomplish
IL hiSI hiShl, Stating iroin d tdple
of land 900 feet above sea level at the
head of the Rhone valley.
In addition to reaching a height that
would take him over the Simplon sum-
nit and in doing which he must suffer
severely from the cold, the aviator
was required to guide his frail craft
yer wide chasms, notably the Gorge
of Ysette, where a safe resent would
be quite impossible and an accident
must mean almost certain death.
Success DR. Death Faced Him.
Aviation experts had predicted free
ly that the only alternative to a sue.
cessful fight across the Alps was
death of the aviator.
