 WHEN TRAIN COLLIDES WITH AUTO
Rock Island Train Crashes Into Auto Kimes Crossing Killing Jim Whitfield Miss Injuring

on, and 1t was thought would stop before reaching the crossing, however, the front axel of the car, reached the track, and as it did so Miss Loda Long jumped, and was hurled far into the air, and the engine hit.
 Joe Long who is the less injured one in the party, at St. Vincent's hospital last night, was able to talk of the accident. He stated that he did not see the train, until they were right upon it, and it was too late to stop.
 The injuried were given all pos sible medical attention, and were hurriedly carried from the train upon it's arrival in Malvern Relatives of the family were notified last night, and Mrs. Katie Long, wife of Dink, accompanied her husband to Little Rock.
 The bodies of Jim Whitfield and Miss Loda Long, were this morning carried to Friendship, and the burial will take place at Midway tomorrow afternoon.
 The Long family is one of the best in Hot Spring County, and they had many friends in Malvern, and the sad accident cast a gloom over the entire community. Hundreds of our citizens gathered at the depot, and willing hands gave all assist ance possible.
 Miss Loda Long one of the victims, of yesterdays accident was assistant in the Roekport School, and was re- turning home with her people to spend Sunday. She was a most pop 'llar young lady, and was greatly loved by her students in the Rock port school.
 The party came to Malvern Friday morning from their home in Friend ship to do some shopping, and having spend the day in town were return ing home, in their car, that they had only recently purchased. The car was being driven by Dink Long, the father.

Returning to their home in Friend. ship, Arkansas, from Malvern, dis tance of about IS miles, Friday after noon about 5:30 p. m., where they had been shopping, riding in their auto mobile, about one and half miles South of Malvern, in attempting to cross the railroad crossing of the Rock Island Railway, at Kilmer's crossing, ahead of the train due in- to Malvern at 5:30 p. m., from Cam den, Arkansas, cost James w. Whit field and Miss Lota Long their lives, Dink Long, who was also with the party is fatally injured and will like ly die. Essie Long is also fatally in- jured, as was Joe Long, her brother.
 The train was in charge of Conduc- or Rhodes and Engineer McColpin, and was running on time at the time of the accident. The automobile, 1t is said, attempted to cross just ahead of the train, and was caught by the locomotive at the left front wheel, demolishing the car, and demolish- ing the cattle guard fence, near the crossing.
 The train reached Malvern about $ p. m., and the injured were given medical attention, and were later talk en to St. Vincent's Hospital, at Little Rock.
 Jim Whitfield was killed instantly, and Miss Loda Long died after she was taken to physicians offices here. Joe Long, Dink, Long and Miss Essie Long. were removed to the hospital, and reports at noon today. states that there is no hope for Dink Long, and the two other will probably re- cover They were accompanied to Little Rock by Drs. Phillirs and Me Cray. Walter Weaver and T. s. Fish CT.
 Where the fatal accident occurred the crossing is in plain view, and trains coming from either wav nav be plainly seen for some distance. Trainmen say, the auto was sighted, and the whistle blown, and the car ifa= mediately slowed up. It came slowly
