Terrible Accident Occurs
When Fast Train Hits Au-
tOmobile Near Racine.
MOTHER AND CHILDREN KILLED

Three people were instantly killed
and one seriously injured Thursday
afternoon when their automobile was
struck by north bound passenger
train on the Durant road crossing Of the
Chicago & North Western Railway,
near the south limits of Racine. The
party was on its way to Racine at thu
time and did not notice the approach
ing passenger train until ten seconds
before it struck them.
The Dead:
Mrs. Mary Steene, housekeeper, Al
years old.
Walter Steene, son of Mrs. Steene,
Ii years old.
Clarence Hansen, son of Chris Han
sen. Is years old.
Injured.
Chris Hansen, farmer, residing four
miles from Union Grove. No bones
broken. Badly bruised.
Chris Hansen, his housekeeper, her
son and Hansen s son, were on their
way to Racine to do some trading.
When they arrived at the railway cross
ing Hansen saw the train coming, but
supposing it was on the east track,
stopped his auto on the west track,
and before he discovered his mistake
the fast passenger train crashed into
his auto and the next thing he remem-
bered was when he was laying ON the
highway dazed.
Chris Hansen resides on his own
farm near Union Grove.
AS Hansen was making the steep
grade at the point the accident hap
pened, the engine of the automobile
stalled when the car was right on the
railroad tracks Mr. Hansen says that
he did not notice the approaching pas
senger train until he got out of his auto
to crank the machine. There was no
time for him to get out of the way or
to warn the occupants of the auto.
Hurled into Gully.
The automobile became entangled in
the tenders of the engine and was
dragged distance of so feet when it
collided with the plank railing of cul-
vert and was thrown into the gully
les were badly mangled. Mr.. Hansen
was thrown into the air, but fell out
side of the rails, thus escaping death.
George Miller of Rural Route No. 4,
Box 102, was an eye witness Of the
accident. He was driving a load of
sand behind~the Hansen automobile.
In an interview, Mr.. Miller said that
he plainly heard the engineer of the
locomotive blow his whistle and that
he could not understand why the driver
of the automobile did not heed it. He
saw the machine struck by the engine
beneath. Mrs. Steene and the two
boys were instantly killed. Their bod
and hurled in front of the tenders.
At the time of the accident the only
thing that INSTRUCTED a view of the
tracks was two gondola cars loaded
with manure. These cars were about
seventy-fve feet south of the crossing.
There is a steep grade leading up to
the tracks on both sides of the right
of way and this is probably the reason
the little touring car became stalled.
1t evidently did not have sufficient
power to make the grade.
The Hansen machine was going west
on the Durant road.
Mr.. Hansen, although he was ser
iously injured. managed to tell the hos

FACTORY WANTS LOCATION.
Pacific Coast Co. Employing Fifty Men
Could be Induced to Locate Here.

The secretary of the Kenosha Re
tailer's Association is on the trail of
another factory which could be induced
to locate in Kenosha. Tt is now Iocat-
ed somewhere on the Pacific Coast. but
the company is anxious to get into the
Chicago freight district. The company
is said to have sold million dollars
worth of its product already and the
officials believe that if it gets a plant
in this district that the output could
be increased te<fve hundred thousand
annually. The company is looking for
a plant with seventy thousand feet of
floor space. Tt is just possible that it
can be accommodated at the plant Of
the refrigerator company. 1.-The. com
pany would employ fifty men. The
secretary of the Retailer s Association
has suggested to the officials of the
company that they take the matter up
with the Milwaukee Noodle Company.

STEEPLECHASE FEATURE

There are II entries for the Lynnewood
Farm races, a complimentary meeting
given by Joseph E. widener, to he held at
Elkins Park tomorrow. October 16. There
are 80 entries from New York, 26 from
about Philadelphia, five from Virginia
two from Baltimore, and six from other
points. This is record number for a
hunt-club meeting in Philadelphia.
The unusually heavy entries from out
of town are due to the work of Mr.
Frank Bryan, secretary of the Hunts
Committee of the National Steeplechase
and Hunt Association. who has charge
of the entries. Mr.. Bryan will also have
charge of the horses and entries for the
Whitemarsh races, to be held October %

tober 27 and 30.
In speaking of the Lynnewood entries.
Mr.. Bryan said: They are more than
good; in fact, II means for the friends
of racing in Philadelphia sport OF a very
much higher grade than ever before
brought to their immediate vicinity. The
racing will be of the sort that could be
boasted of anywhere, at anytime The
meetings at Whitemarsh and Rose Tree
will. of course, share in all this, for
the reason that the majority of owners
that will ship over will race at the three
places.
In the first race at Lynnewood, six and
a half furlongs on the fiat, there were
10 horses entered, including c. N. will
iams' Armament, a recent winner at the
Laurel track, and three fast horses from
New York Fleischmann's Ataboy, w. L.

in height. Other local entries are Cap
tain Cassatt's Sun God, Widener's VAL
entine and s. d. Riddles Brazenose.
The Cheltenham Steeplechase, the sec
ond race, a two-mile cross-country for
maidens for a $500 purse and sweepstakes,
has II strong entries. Clothier's Nele-
phant Riddles Long Smile and Ivan
Fox's First Up are among the local
horses and will meet H. "a Montagne's
