A FORD AND A CHANDLER
COLLIDE NEAR PARIS

A Ford. driven by Wells Smith Of
Georgetown. and Chandler. driven
by e. H. simkins OF La Barge. Wyo..
collided about two milea north OF
Paris last Friday morning. Mr..
Smith had turned out 20 meet aaoth-
er car. which was running a short
distance ahead OF Mr.. simkins. and
he had not yet turned into the main
travelled roadway. when the two ears
came together The road was very
dusty at that point and the heavy
cloud OF dust which was raised by
the cars meeting. made IL impossible
for Smith and simkins 70 see each
other In time to prevent tho collla-
ion. Mr.. Smith slackened his speed
when be met the first car and is sure
that ne was not going over 10 miles
an hour when the collision occurred
Mr.. simkins also claims 10 have been
going At very slow speed. How
ever, the cars came together with
such force that Il required hard
work on the part OF several men for
three hours to get them apart.

tie Ford does not appear to have
sustained any worse damage than the
big Chandler. Both cars had to be
trailed into Montpelier and are now

BRAKEMAN MULLINS MEETS
DEATH UNDER THE CARS

w. r. Mullins. q Short Line brake
man. was fatally injured IN the
Montpelier yards about $3.50 last Fri
day night. AS near as we can learn.
the particulars OF the accident are
about as follows:
Mullins, who was head brakeman,
had thrown the switch to let the
freight on which he was working set
into the yards. As the train
passed the engineer saw him grab
the hand holds on the second car
from the engine. That is the last
any OF the train crew saw OF him
until the train was brought to a
stop in order to get Mullins' body
from beneath the cars. A stranger.
who had stolen ride on the train
saw Mullins fall between the cars.
He jumped from between the cars
where he had rode and running up
to the engine yelled for them to stop
the train. AS the train was moving
very slowly the engineer was able to
stop It quickly. The engineer, fire
man and the stranger ran back 20
where Mullins was lying and found
that ne was so wedged between the
wheels that they could not get him
out, his head being within six inches
OF the wheels. They fUund II neces-
sary to Jack up the car in order TO
get him out, which required nearly
an hour. When the body was re.
moved, the men were Mortified to
learn that Mullins left arm had been
severed at the shoulder. his right
arm near the wrist. his right foot
severed and his body bruised.
He was hurried to the Montpelier
hospital. where all surgical attention
possible WAS given him. The injured
man was conscious when removed
from beneath the train. but soon az
ter became unconscious and remained
thus until the end came Saturday al
he was being conveyed from No. &C
the railroad company's emergency
hospital In PocatelIo.
Mullins was about IS years OF age
His parents reside In Salt Lake. q
which place the body was taken fol
burial.
The accident happened In the cas-
end OF the yards. not far distant
from where silas Wilcox was kiliet
a few weeks ago.
