AUTO IS SMASHED
BY FREIGHT GAR
MACHINE WITH THREE PASSEN.
GERS TANNED INTO SPACE
OF TWoINcHES.
BUT ONE is INJURED
r. II. Looney Of Fairfield With Two
Companions Pinned in Wreckaee
, Former in the Ottumwa
Hospital.

An accident in which an auto was
smashed into bits and the lives of
r. III. Looney of Fairfield l.. Keith and
Carl Bradshaw of Batavia, occupants
of the automobile endangered, occur
red at the Jefferson street crossing Of
the Burlington at an early hour this
morning when freight car struck the
auto which was crossing the tracks
and jammed the machine into a space
about twenty-five inches wide.
The scene of the wreckage drew
many people during the forenoon until
the remains Of the auto were removed.
The deliverance Of the occupants of
the car from horrible death was
marveled at by all who witnessed the
splintered machine which was packed
in between box car and the side of
the Burlington freight house in a
space but wide enough for person to
stand in. No two parts of the ma
chine were intact and the fragments Of
what was once an auto was Uttered
the full length of the box car. Under
meath this heap of wreckage, the three
men were dug out by the trainmen and
officers who came to the aid of the
victims Of the accident.
No Serious Injuries.
The men when dragged from be-
meath the wreckage were hurried to
the Ottumwa hospital where an exam
ination of the trio revealed nothing but
scratches. Mr.. Keith and Mr.. Brad
shaw were able to leave the hospital
in a short time while Mr.. Looney was
more bruised and shaken than the
other two and remained.
The trio had stopped at the Ottum-
wa Auto accessories garage about 4
O'Clock to get gasoline and told J.
Hahn, who was in charge of the place
that they had come from Fairfield, and
were on their way to Burlington. MT.
Hahn thought. it strange that they
should come to Ottumwa to go to Bur
hngton.
Mr.. Looney when seen at the hos
pital this morning could give no de-
tails of the accident but stated the
men were on their way to Batavia.
When asked if they had seen the train
he said they did not and
didn't seem to know distinctly what
struck the auto.
Switchmen Did Not See Auto.
The switching crew composed OF
Engineer G. Bond, Foreman, ]. w. Rog-
ers, ]. N. Harder and B. A. Sears, help
ers, had been working around the JEFF
ferson street crossing for some time
and did not notice the automobile I'M
til after the car had collided with it.
The front trucks of the freight car
left the track after the collision throw
ing the auto in closer to the building.
Fart Of the tenders and broken pieces
of the machine scattered about on the
sidewalk was evidence that the car
had been pushed quite distance after
being struck by the train.
