cross In front OF the train and mis-
calculated the speed Of the passenger
train, their auto being struck square
ly on the rear wheels. It was hurled
INTO the air and landed bottom side
up thirty feet from the crossing. Miss
Preston was thrown over or thru the
cross fence and her body was seen by
the brakeman rolling over and over
as the train rushed by. Garote was
hurled against the cross fence and was
found lying between the auto and tho
fence. Rice. a slender young man who
was driving the car, was quickly
pulled from beneath the car injured the

windshield seemed to have protected
him. Mrs. Sharpe struck the wire
fence. sustaining a deep cash in the
head but was able to rise upon her
feet.

was standing west of the crossing
waiting for the train to pass and
motioned to the approaching party to
stop, 80 that they were quick to give
aid. The train was backed up and
passengers hurriedly lifted the in
Jured aboard on stretchers and cots
and carried them to the station where
they were taken to the Powers and
Osborne hospital. Miss Preston died
soon after, but the other three will re-
cover.
Passengers Saw Danger.

right side OF the cab did not see the
auto approaching but the mail clerks
and passengers in the coaches did and
rushed to the other side to see II the
auto got across only to pass the awful
scene like flash before the train could
be brought to a stop.

train crew as Is stated that the usual
whistle warning was given. The scene
OF the accident is not particularly,
