AUTO ACCIDENT At DEPOT

At $50 Tuesday morning No. 2
passing through town going east
struck and wrecked the car ofAdam
Wagner as he was essaying to cross
the tracks. Mr. Wagner who lives
two and a half miles northeast Of
town was driving in his car to his
work for the Arkansas Valley and
Irrigated Land Co. He could see
the right-of-way clear to the east
but his view was in part obstruct-
ed to the west. He never saw the
train till 1t was right upon him.
The engine struck the front end OF
the car throwing it forward and
over, crushing the radiator, wind
shield and top and tearing off two
wheels of the car-badly twisting
the other two wheels.
No one appeared to have seen
the accident but small crowd was
immediatly upon the scene. Mr..
Wagner was still at the wheel when
found and was pulled out OF the
wreck and taken to DR.. Wilson's
office to be examined but aside
from cuts and bruises on various
parts of his body and the shock Of
the sudden accident he was found
uninjured and after first aid treat
ment and short rest he was able
to return to the wrecked car.
That he was not more seriously
injured was q miracle. Not once In
hundred times would one escape
from so badly wrecked car.
While the Santa Fe railroad
seemed to be In nOwise at fault
yet would 1t not be wise to install
automatic alarm bells at both this
and the east crossings? There, have
been several near accidents at both
these crossings, some day a fatal
one may occur.
