Mrs. Rebecca Anderson, were killed
at Parker's Crossing, near White

gun by the railroad officials after the
accident 1t was found that all railroad
signals we're working.
The automobile was struck on the
side while the train was moving about
40 miles an hour. 1t is said that to the
crew of the train it appeared that the
automobile had come to a stop on the
crossing.
Crashing into the machine the pilo'
of the locomotive carried the wrecked
automobile and some of its dying occu,
pants along with it for nearly quar-
ter of a mile.
1t was an hour before the wreckag'
