Mr.. Edwards Car Wrecked.

Tuesday night about ten o'clock Dep
uty Sheriff J. A. Edwards automobile
was badly wrecked on the V. S. and P.
bridge at Shreveport by freight train
of that company as the same was being
backed into the city by switch engine.
In company with Mr.. w. l. Gayle, Mr..
Edwards was on his way to the city to
meet Mrs. Idella Green, Sheriff Edwards
sister, on her way to Benton for visit.
AS they neared the bridge suspended red
light was noticeable, and Mr.. Edwards
at once stopped his car and "killed" it's
engine. AS an ingoing L. R. and N.
passenger train cleared the red light was
removed by the bridge keeper and taken
into the box. Upon his return to his
stand he bore in his hand an ordinary
lantern, not suspended, which Mr.. Ed
wards took for signal to himself that
the bridge was clear and that he might
proceed. AS the car gained the level of
the bridge, and still in an angling posi-
ton, Mr.. Edwards stopped to pay his toll.
Almost simultaneous with coming to a
stand the car was struck by the moving box
cars, which, just getting under headway,
made but slight noise. The left fender
was first struck and the car was dragged
distance of ten or more steps, tearing
away the railing on the right side of the
bridge and greatly damaging the car.
Three wheels and the tenders were de-
molished, and the body of the car, its
engine and radiator damaged. The cas-
ings and inner tubes were damaged but
slightly and remained inflated.
1t should be explained that the box
cars were noticed by the occupants OF the
car and were mistaken for idle boxes on
a siding. During the collision the two
gentlemen remained in the car but es-
capped uniniured. The car was fairly
balanced on the side of the bridge wher
the train was brought to stand and was
only saved from slipping entirely ove1
by the differential, which served as {
scotch.
1t is claimed that Messrs. Edwards an(
Gayle are not at fault in the matter, tina
there was not trainman with light a
the rear end of the car, and that an!
person would have considered the ex
change of lights by the bridge keepe
a proper signal for road vehicles to pro
ceed. Mr.. Edwards will sue the railroa'
company if his losses are not sooner ad
justed and should experience no difficult
in recovering for the damage to his cal
