AN AWFUL CATASTROPHE E
Five DarIinatonians Instantly Killed
by Train at Warren.


by Train at Warren.
The Darlington Republican Journal:
Darlington was shocked beyond
measure on Wednesday evening when
word was flashed from Warren that
Mr. and Mrs Patrick Deery, their two
little children, and Peter Howe, all of
this city, had been instantly killed, and
A. D. Chattelle, formerly of this city
but now residing in Warren. was
seriously, if not fatally injured. The
report proved only too true and because
of this our city is plunged into deepest
gloom.
Out of the tangled web of rumors and
reports that invariably circulate in
cases of this kind, the facts as we be-
lieve them to be are as follows:
Mr. and Mrs Deery and their two
little children, aged respectively, one
about six years old and the other six
months, were driven in car to Warren
on Wednesday morning by Peter Howe,
aged % years. The day was spent in
Warren visiting friends and at $50 p.
m. they started for home, with A. D.
Chattelle also in the car, whether he
was coming to Gratiot or Darlington is
not known.
Just west of where the Gratiot War
rem road crosses the Illinois Central
track there is a deep, curving cut. A
train cannot be seen coming from the
west and the engineer cannot see the
crossing until within few feet Of it..
The engineer is the only witness to the
tragedy, and his statement is that as
his tt ain rounded the curve in the cut,
going at the rate of between 45 and 80
miles per hour; he saw the car
standing on the track, distant from 20
to % feet, and in fraction of a second
all was over. 1t is possible that in cross
ing the track the engine in the auto
had been killed; but no one knows.
All occupants of the car were in
stantly killed except Mr. Chattelle He
was found with severe scalp wound, a
broken shoulder and other injuries, and
was Immediately taken to hospital in
Freeport, and at three o'clock this
morning it was reported that he had
recovered consciousness
The bodies of our dead were brought
home Thursday morning. Mr. Deery
had been farmer living east of the
city until this spring when he rented
his farm and moved into the city. He
was forty years old. His wife, whose
maiden name was Hannah Sollinger,
was thirty nine years old; and the
eldest child was six years of age, while
the babe in arms was between four and
five months old.
Peter Howe was the son of Edward
Howe, resident of this city, and was
about twenty two years old.
The catastrophe happened at 80 in
the evening, and the train that struck
the party was Chicago bound.
At this writing our people are stun
ned. Such whirlwind of death never
visited our city before, and the united
sympathy of a sorrowing community
goes out in full and rounded measure,
to the stricken relatives.

HOME AFTER II YEARS.
kansan, Long Thought Lost at Sea,
Ends His ROAMING.

Pratt, Kan.-Charles NJ. Short, who
has been mourned as dead by his moth
er, Mrs. NJ. A. Annett of st. Joseph,
Mo-, has been found in this city and Is
alive and well.
Short tells peculiar story Of a roam
ing life, which he has at last decided to
stop and go home to his mother. About
twenty-one years ago Short left his
home at Excelsior Springs, Mo-, and
started out for himself. He went to
San Francisco, where he went on the
seas as a sailor. He never wrote his
mother, but q word to a cousin In Ne
braska gave the information that he
was sailor on a certain boat. This
boat was reported sunk, and there was
no report of Shorts name In the list of
survivors.
His mother then mourned him for
dead until recently a flash came over
the wire from the cousin in Nebraska
that Short had been found.
