Sept. 2, BOwd0inham

In its decision rendered Thursday
in the matter of the accident on the
Maine Central Railroad at Jclison s
Crossing, Bowdonham, Sept. last,
resulting in the death of Adner Buck
of Norway and Mrs Martha Frances
of Bowdoinham. the Public Utilities
Commission says that apparently Mr.
Buck. who was driving the car, did not
hear or see the train.
ION Sept. .. 1928, at 11.31 A. NJ,
Train No. 764. regular passenger train
running between Bangor and Portland.
struck an automobile at what is
known as Jellisons Crossing. about
one and Onc-fCurth miles cast of Bow
doinham station" says the decision of
the Public Utilities Commission.
THE occupants of the car were Ad-
ner Buck of Norway and Mrs. Martha
Frances of Bowdoinham. both Of
whom received injuries from which
they later died" continues the de-
cisiOn.
From the evidence. it appears that
as Train No. 764 approached the cross
ing, the engineer saw an automobile on
the crossing a short distance in front
of the train. The engineer threw on
the emergency brake and stopped the
train, but not in time to prevent the
accident. The train struck the auto
mobile, dragging it a distance Of
about 100 feet.
THE automobile was badly damaged
Mrs. Frances was found under the au-
tomobile. and Mr.. Buck was found in
the ditch short distance from the
machine. They wore picked up and
placed on the train. Mrs. Frances died
shortly after being placed on the train.
The body was taken to Brunswick
where the medical examiner was noti-
fled. He pronounced her death due to
fractured skull. Mr.. Bucll died on
the train while being taken to the hos
pital at Portland.
AT the crossing where this accident
: occurred. the driver of an automobile
approaching the crossing from the
west can see train coming from the
cast distance of at least $50 feet, and
the crossing is what is known as a
I fair view crossing. As tho train ap-
, preached the crossing. the usual warm
ing signal was given by the engineer.
and Al the same time the automatic
bell on the engine was ringing
apparently Mr. Buck did not hear
or sec the train. but drove his car onto
the crossing in front of the train.

! the death of himself and Mrs.
