8 KILLED IN AUTO AND TRAIN
CRASH AFTER HOME IS BURNED
FAMILY OF GEORGE PHILLIPS. A
RAILROAD MAN WIPED OUT
Mrs. Phillips and Son, George Jr., and
NeighbOr, VIM. DickersOn Killed
at BacOn's Switch Saturday

Tragedy stalked in the life of
George Phillips, fireman, Delaware
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
SeafOrd, Saturday night. Mrs. Elsie
Phillips, 25 years old, his wife; their
three year old son, George, and Will
liam Dickerson, 80 years old, a friend
were killed almost instantly when the
automobile in which they were riding
was struck by a fast southbound pas
senger train. To add to their troubles
the Philips home was razed by fire
the same night. Saturday the Phil
lips, who had spent the evening at
Salisbury, Md, were returning to their
home shortly after 10 p. M, when
Dickerson, a neighbor, met them and
informed them that their home had
been destroyed by fire. Phillips then
requested Dickerson to drive his wife
and son to the home of Mrs. Phillips
father, George w. Davis, a merchant,
residing at Bacon's switch. He pro-
ceeded to the scene of the fire. 1t is
believed that Mrs. Phillips became
hysterical over the loss of their home,
and that Dickerson, attempting to
calm her, either failed to notice that
he was near the crossing or failed to
see whether a train was approaching
The automobile, as it reached the cen
ter of the track, was struck by the
fast passenger train. Mrs. Phillips
and DickersOn were catapulated from
the machine for a distance of more
than fifty feet, being killed, physicians
said, almost instantly. The young
child was later found buried beneath
the debris of the wrecked automobile
He had been killed instantly, it was
said. The fire was declared to have
been caused by a defective chimney
flue. The building together with all
its contents, was a total loss. 1t was
said that insurance will partly cover
the building and contents. Bacon's
Switch where the automobile accident
occurred, is a small town a few miles
north of the termination of the Della
ware division of the Pennsylvania
/ Railroad.

STRAWBERRIES BEHIND SEASON
Growers Have Never Known Them to
Be So Late in BlOssOming


The oldest residents of this COM
munity report that they have never
known the strawberries to be so late
before to blossom. The height of the
berry season is usually about May 20
or 25, but now the fields have not be-
gun to blossom and it is about one
month from the time the blossoms
form until the ripe fruit is picked.
The late spring, continued cool wealth
er and the heavy rains during the past
month, have been the cause of the late
crop. Farmers realized good profits
from their berries last year, and this
year set a larger acreage. If the
crop is not to yield heavily this year,
it will incur a heavy loss. The labor
question is causing some anxiety in
respect to gathering of the berries.
The pickers have, for the past several
years, been coming from Philadelphia,
but the Italians now claim they can
make more money by staying in the
city. Farmers have to depend upon
colored help from Maryland and other
places.

5 HURT RUN DOWN BY AUTO
R. A. Culver, Bridgeville, Held in
$1,000 For Leipsic Road Cases


R. A. Culver, of Bridgeville, was
held in $1,000 bail for Court by Mag
istrate Wood on Saturday on a charge
of running down five persons on Fri
day night on the road from Leipsic to
Dover. The persons run down were
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur Beckett and child
and Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter, of near
Leipsic. The Culver car is said to
have run down the pedestrians while
passing another automobile. With the
exception of Mr.. Beckett all five were
knocked down and injured. They were
taken by a passing machine to the of
fee of DR.. Joseph S. Mcdaniel in Do
yer and after receiving treatment
were taken to their homes. Mr.. Hun
ter's injuries were the most serious,
it being feared that he had sustained
several broken ribs. The Culver car,
it is alleged, failed to stop after run
ming into the pedestrians. Morris
Jones, Irving Jones, Ralph Colbourne,
Atwood Bedsworth and John Cava-
naugh, all white men, from Salisbury,
Md, who ran into the automobile of
Arlington Bullock, deputy sheriff of
Kent county on Friday night just be-
low Camden, were taken before Mag
istrate Wood charged with assault
and battery. They were compelled to
pay fines of S13.71 each.

ready this season, landed another one
Tuesday. The sturgeon fishermen
are breaking all records this season,
the catch already being greater than
it has been for many years. Sturgeon
were running wild" in the river yes
terday and with such force that they
broke clear through most of the nets,
doing considerable damage to the nets
as we'll as making their escape. Harry
c. Nickle caught two fish that gave
him about fifty pounds of roe. Five
fish hit his net at the same time and
three of them went through and es-
capped. He succeeded in holding two
of them. Several other nets were
struck also during the day but the fish
escaped in each instance before they
could be landed, and in most cases es-
capped by tearing their way through
the nets.
