For some time it was that per.
haps another man had been in
jured or killed, an extra hat hav
ing been found buried under the
sand, but Jones says it was his
hat-that he lost it when he and
Stewardson were pitched from
the car by the force of the wreck
Swami had recently been en-
ployed at Claremore, but he had
been discharged from his last
position. Farmer and Swami
were warm friends and when
Farmer learned of his friends S
discharge he resigned his posi-.
ton at Pierce City and joined
Swami and both started towards
home. They boarded the wreck
ed train at Springfield
Farmer tells a thrilling story
of the wreck. He says that just
before the crash came he saw fire
flying and he remarked that they
had better jump, but it was too
late. They were buried beneath
the wreckage before they had
time to escape
Swami weighed about 14O
pounds and was about % years
old. Farmer was about the same
age
Jones and Stewardson were al.
so warm friends. They had met
