TWO ARE KILLED
WamegO Women Meet Death
When Train Crashes Into Auto.
DIR. Bruner Finds Own Wife
Dead and Baby Injured.

Mrs. Benjamin Bruner. wife of DR..
Benz amin Bruner, and Mrs. Noah
Tabaka, wife of Noah Takaba, of the
Stewart Hardware company. both OF
Wamego, were instantly killed Thurs
day afternoon when the Ford coupe
in which they were riding was struck
by Union Pacific passenger train No.
|104 about one and one-fourth miles
west of Belvue Doctor Burners g.
year-old daughter. Ruth, who was
also in the car, escaped with only
minor injuries.
Doctor Bruner had received call
to st. MaryS and determined to take
the passenger train from Wamego, for
the sake of greater speed. Mrs. Ia
baka took Mrs. Bruner and the child
in her Ford coupe, leaving ahead Of
the train, intending to pick Doctor
Bruner up in st. Marys and bring him
back to Wamego when he should have
completed his professional call
Engine Stalled on Railroad Track.
A mile and a quarter west of Bel
vue the road crosses the track three
times in a short distance and the Ford
was making the third crossing when
the engine evidently stalled on the
track and the Ford was struck by the
train. The train was stopped. When
call was made among the passen-
gers for a physician, Doctor Bruner
responded, to find his own wife lying
dead in the road, and his baby, dazed,
but not seriously injured, amid the
wreckage of the Ford coupe.
1t was stated this morning that the
state highway commission had some
time ago ordered two of the three
crossings eliminated, but the work
had not yet been accomplished. The
crossing where the accident occurred
is said not TO be a blind one, and it
is thought that the stalling of the en-
CINE was responsible for the tragedy.
The skulls of both women were
crushed. The bodies were taken to
Wamego. Doctor Bruner is one of
the best known physicians in that sec
ton OF the country and has practiced
there for approximatelv ten wears.

obvious thruout the session this morn
