FATAL ACCIDENT
ON PERE MARQUETTE
TUESDAY MORNING
Continued from Page one)

Continued from Page One)
From the most authentic source il
is thought that Mrs. Lark saw the
oncoming train as she neared the
crossing and but for another machine
just ahead of her would have crossed
the track in safety. The forward
machine caused her to slacken her
speed and she thought that the cross
ing could not be cleared and threw
on the emergency brake. The brakes
failed to work and the weight of the
car carried the machine onto the
tracks until the front trucks were
standing on it. Then in an effort to
either reverse the engine and back the
machine off the track or to carry il
forward and across the track the en-
gine was killed" but not until its
power had thrown the machine square
across the track
When Mrs. Clement saw the danger
she jumped to safety and an instant
later the train struck the automobile
broadside tearing il to smithers. Two
of the ladies were landed on the pilot
of the engine with their heads and
bodies mangled and torn. They were
carried for eighty rods until the train
stopped. The little boy lay on the
pilot until the train had gone about
twenty rods when his little body fell
through the pilot onto the track and
was passed over by the train Mrs Lark
was thrown, by the impact, distance
of fully one hundred feet through the
air before she landed on the ground
The cowcatcher of the engine was
torn off and the fittings of the air.
brakes otherwise the engine was
uninjured. The automobile was
riddled from end to- end The top and
a portion of the body was carried on
the pilot of the engine until it stopped.
The machine was almost new and one
of the best in Greenville.
The people, who were killed were
among the most prominent of the city.
Roy Beardslee, whose wife and son
were Killed is the son of Mrs. Fred
Ranney. He is prominently connect
ca with the Etanney Refrigerator Co.
Mrs. Merritt was the wife of a former
furniture dealer and undertaken Of the
city and Mrs. Lark is the wife of one
of Greenvilles prominent merchants
The news of the accident was
"a shock to this community as the vic
Tins of the sad affair were well known
here.
Paul Bailey pitcher on the Belding
base ball team, who was on the train
saw the automobiles approaching
the track as the train rounded the
curve. He turned to look at something
within the car just at the instant that
the accident came. He felt the shock
OF the collision and again thrust his
head out of the window in time to see
the automobile carried away on the
engines pilot. He was the first per-
son to arrive on the scene of the ac-
cident when the train backed up to
the crossing. Bailey says it was the
most horrible sight that one could
conceive Of
The train was delayed an hour and
ten minutes because of the accident.
The approaches to the crossing are
said to be unobstructed except for
house standing near the track.

DIR. Cook is a liar-others think him

all who have heard him agree that his
story of his trip through the arctic
regions is a wonderful tale, told as on
ly one who has been on the spot could
tell il, and full of convincing proof
that If he did not actually stand on the
spot known as the North Pole" he
must have been mighty near 1t. DIR.
Cook is national figure, and has a
message that draws immense crowds
wherever he speaks.

0y R. G. WEATHERSTONE)
While the average farmers takes It
for granted that the dairy herd re-
quires little or no attention as to the
feed supply during the summer
months, we have, nevertheless, found
that the dairy1ng will prove more
profitable at this season If some sys-
tenn Of feeding grain and roughage is
but adhered to.
It Is true that the COWS become
sleek and In prime shape while they
can secure an abundance Of green
grass, but little clean bright rough
ge and some pure grain feeds in
addition to the grass ration viii aid
in forming more substantial bone
and muscular tissue, at the same time
increasing the milk-fow to a consid-
cradle degree.
Although the flavor and natural
properties ST grass are very conduc-
i've to stimulating more profuse
flow Of mill, the elements contained
therein are not adapted to the for
nation of high quality dairy prod
uct, either in milk, cream or flesh, but
will require something to improve It's
watery consistency-in other words,
to add strength and solidity to it; for
the well-flled milk pail does not nee
essarily contain a high per cent. Of
butterfat, neither is the sleek, plump,
grass-fed cow in solid flesh.

also gave it as his opinion that the ln-

there are claims out now that are sew

DR.. J. H. Burgess, the other candi-
date for the Senate referred to the
editor of The Times turning down some
of his letters, unless he paid for them
at political advertising rates, 30 cents
per inch. He stressed the financial
condition of the county and blamed the
senator for not making the necessary
provision 10 relieve this debt. His
criticism along this liue was practically
what has been published in the
press. He told of having had Claren-
don taken out of the exemption in the
drainage bill. He said the senator did
not call the delegation together, and
now he was in part responsible for the
bringing of the expert down from Co.
lumb'a to Investigate the cou pty books.
DR.. Burgess speech was not delivered
as no doubt he would have. lack OF
time no doubt forbid it. He had with
him scrap book that had the appear
ance Of ammunition for an all dry talk
fest, but what he brought out at the
first meeting the public that read his
letters in the newspapers are already
familiar with. The Doctor is an earn

day campaigns.
The crowd was not as large as we
expected, but this is accounted for by
the reason the people have their to-
bacco barns to look after and are very
busy at this season of the year. The
ladies furnished a splendid dinner. the
proceeds went to one of the charities of
the community.
