ed by crowd Of onlookers told too
grimly of the fatal collision.
The true story of the accident and
how it happened was told by Miss Ele-
amor Cavanaugh, the one survivor of
the Inflated car. The unfortunate au-
tomobile party was one of three cars
carrying pleasure seekers to picnic on
the beach. In it were Mrs. White and
Miss Cavanaugh. IN the rear seat and
White at the wheel. The survivor says
that they had safely crossed the tracks
and were pulling up the steep incline,
which marks the entrance of the lane
leading to the beach, when suddenly
the motor stopped and the car began to
back onto the tracks. Both Mrs. White
who was seated on the side nearest the
approaching car and Miss Cavanaugh
realized the danger in which they were
placed but because she tried to open
the door, Mrs White was too late and
was caught in the crash. With rare
presence Of mind Miss Cavanaugh
jumped over the door to safety and
outside of the severe mental shock suf-
fered no injuries from the accident
AS told by the one survivor of the ac-
cident the brakes on the car were I'M
able to hold Il on the steep incline and
White was caught in a death trap with
no chance for escape Immediately
following the accident people by the
score from the hundreds who were
coming and going to the picnic at Cen
trail Park, focked to the scene 20 offer
their assistance.
Rampant Rumors False.
The rumor that another car was
struck by the White car as it was swung
around by the force of the collision
proved to be false as there was no car
within one hundred yards of the acct
dent at the time il happened. Onlook-
ers believed that White had turned in
to the lane to turn around but this was
also disproved by the account of both
Miss Cavanaugh and the motorman on
the car.
Victims Well Known in Kenosha.

Mr.. and Mrs. William f. White, lived
at 435 Congress street and are very

which he had for years been a motor

keeper at the Barden Store before her

The bank ii is said will not pay more
than fifty cents on the dollar to
depostors. Many old persons and
widows viii lose. Merchants OF the
town find themselves hard hit. The
private banker" played the markets
and disaster fell upon an entire COM
munity.
Foolish to trust him? The institu-
ton had existed fifty years. II had
been established by his father, con-
Quoted by the sons and later by this
one son. There were years OF personal
prob!ty behind il II had become s
habite TO trust, not so much Bryant
