How Charles F. Graham Met His
Tragic Ending

The Independent received clipping
from Lamont, Ia, newspaper, CIV
ing further particulars concerning the
death of Charles Graham, formerly of
this city, which occurred at Lamont on
July 8. The account of the tragic
accident follows:
A deep shadow of gloom was cast
over our city Tuesday afternoon when
word was received up town that May
or Charles Graham had been instantly
killed and A. H. Smith and Doris Rog-
ers badly injured by colliding with
freight train No. III in. charge of
Conductor Ben Landry, at the cross
ing on west Main street.
No one will probably ever know the
exact cause Of the accident. At the
time Of our going to press Mr.. Smith
had not sufficiently recovered to be
able to shed any light on the unfor-
tunate accident.
Mr.. Graham and Mr.. Smith were go

was stopped is showed that he had it
under control. The prevailing opin-
ion as to the cause of the accident
is that when Mr.. Graham realized
how close the train was upon them he
became confused and lost control of
the car.
AS this is planked crossing and a
bad one, others seem to think that one
of the wheels of the car was caught
in one of the wide cracks and in try
ing to get out threw the car into
the train.
Mr.. Graham was badly mangled and
when the first persons reached him he
had passed away. Mr.. Smith was
dazed and had big cash cut in
his head and one hip and leg badly
bruised and sprained. It is thought
that no internal injuries will develop
