 At that time long freight train on the 0. N. E. was backing, west, over the crossing, and about half the train had passed, when the loose end of the mixed train backed slowly into It, the rear end of the combination car striking against the side of the frieght train, which by the contact, simply tipped the combina- tion car over on it's side as if it had been packing case. The frieght came to a stop after a half dozen cars had scraped past, each of which was scratched by the the end of the derailed car

George W. Ford and Rev, l.. E. Travis were early arriv- als, and did good service. Dr. Camp was on hand to do his part, and various persons in the crowd that speedily gath cred, rendered valuable aid.
 It was soon ascertained that the only persons whose injuries were really serious were Mrs. Olin and Mrs. LowerTe. Mrs. Olin received an ugly cut on her fore head. which bled profusely She lapsed into unconsciousness soon after being brought into the station, and her pulse became intermittent and apparently stopped altogether. Even the doctors thought she was dying, and some de- clared she had stopped breathing. She was taken on the express train to Falls Village, and the report was spread about that she had died before being placed on Ak g6utinued on Fifth Page.)
