riding completely demolished tbday
when a southbound passenger train
struck the car on the railroad crossing
at Heber.

press of the San Diego and Arizona
line roared across the highway.s
According to eye witnesses of the
accident, Mr.. Hickcox was proceeding
slowly in his small car, having just
left lettuce packing shed, when he
started across the train tracks. The
motor appeared cold and was cough
ing and jerkingg lamely. Mr.. HickcOx
was tinkering with it to urge the car
along.
Suddenly there was the wild scream
of whistle as the swiftAmoving ex-
press bore down on car and driver. The
three frantic blasts of the whistle
known as the "cattle call' were sound
ed and steel brakes began to grind as
the engineer, horror stricken, jamn1ed
on the air.
1t was too late for the doomed
man to jump for his life. Eyewitness
es saw him start to scramble out of
the car, but that was all. Then came
the crash. The engineer could not
stop the heavy train, nor could Mr..
Hickcox escape.
The COW catcher and the iron nose
of the locomotive drove into the left
rear wheel of the light car with the
force Of a juggernaut. The impact

out of the machine and was pitched
165 feet ahead Of the grade crossing,
the head severed and arms. and limbs
dismembered. A heavy 100 pound cast

the impact. Both the body and the
casting were pitched against large
steel pole with such force that the
pole was badly bent.
The train was brought to a stop as
quickly as possible and the engine and
train crew, along with Mortified pas

Its Nice to Roll Out Early Sunday
Morning.

A goodly section of the auto
mobile world of Hurley is astir
with the roosters OH Sunday morn
ing, making their preparation to
depart to distant lands. The rest
of us go after church. From to
II cars laden with mighty good
things to eat. and people over
flowing with spirits, the right kind
roll ont of town at a rate compliant
with the speed limit of this city,
usually.
What do they do? Where do
they go?
The Fords go any. where, no use
keeping track of them. The rest
have definite picnic place planned.
Machines full of wanderlust and
gasoline beat it down or up to
larger cities, whose populace have
in return gone to larger cities, etc.
The home.loving, more timid
denizens are satisfied with the wild
lakes of which Wisconsin is so
proud, Manitowish, Rest, Pike,
Superior, and infinitum. Some
times they stop en- route to pick a
few berries. Sometimes they stop
en- route to pick a nail out of the
rear tire. Sometimes they %
what the use, they do anything
that enters their head, and they
are never lacking in ideas.
Suffice it to say that on Sunday
in Hurley the authorities, those
still in town, may as we'll pull in
the sidewalks, roll up the roads,
wind up the cats and put out the
clocks, because it surely am the
sleepiest place one can find in day
light.
Oh, Boy, W hen car!ess people do
retire as soon as the curfew starts
to ring at night, then's when the
fun begins. The returning motor
lists honk their horns and squeak
their brakes until it sounds as if
the cover had been lifted from a
barrel of tom. cats. Then the en-
vious folks who stayed at home all
day and read the Sunday Visitor
turn over and grunt, Amt nature
grand?"
