Railroad company. No Waterman is
employed at this crossing. but all other
crossings are protected by flagman.
The auto was not the only thing
wrecked. The engine when it struck
the truck was rocked from side to
side and the pony trucks left the rails.
The engine, running at an estimated
speed of fifty miles an hour In an eff
fort to make the steep grade to upper
Jamesburg, swerved from side to side
with the engine running Off the rails.
The several hundred passengers in the
cars became panic stricken and were
in a terrified state when the engineer
brought his train to a ~standstill OPP
posite Vine street.
The truck came to Jamesburg load
ed with small children and as is usual
they are taken for a sight seeing trip
about town. before their return to the
Home for Boys. In this case the boys
were put out Of the truck at the lake
near the lower depot and sent to a

Shinn were called, the former arriv-
ing first. The parties were taken in
to nearby stores and first aid given
and when it was learned that the In
juries were slight they were taken back
to the home, to receive treatment.
The engine was badly damaged and
was left here, another having, been
substituted. A peculiar thing about
the smashed auto was the fact that
the only part left untouched was the
most fragile, the gas tank, that was
found unframed.
