NINE ARE KILLED IN
CROSSING ACCIDENT

Blytheyille, Nov SO.-Nine of 10
passengers in an automobile which
was struck by a train late this after
noon at grade crossing miles from
here, where the Frisco tracks are cross
ed by the Memphis highway, were in
stantly killed and the lone survivor is
in local hospital severely injured but
expected to live The tragedy almost
annihilated two families, the injured
person, an eight-year-old boy, and the
wife and mother of five of the dead
being the only survivors.
The dead are: A. Glenn Oxford
aged SO; Mildred oxford, aged .; Omer
Oxford, aged Z; A. Glen Oxford, Jr,
aged 5 Geraldine Oxford, aged 2;
Lawrence Oxford, aged 30; Mrs. velvie
Oxford, aged 2S; Theodore oxford,
aged A Odessie Oxford, aged 2.
At the crossing which was the scene
of the tragedy approaching trains are
visible for considerable distance each
way. Witnesses said that they OBJ
served that the car stopped when the
driver, Glen Oxford apparently saw
the train approaching but that he evi-
IDENTIFY decided that he had time to
cross before the train arrived and
drove onto the tracks where the car
stopped, apparently having stalled.
They said the engineer had blown his
whistle for the crossing and was ap-
ulying the brakes for a stop as the
train bore down upon the auto but the
engineer was unable to stop his train
in time to avert the crash. The engine
demolished the car, crushed the bodies
of most of the occupants and scatter
ed them and pieces of wreckage about
the right of way.
/ The train was brought to stop just
beyond the crossing and the train
crew took on board the child still alive
and backed the train to Blytheville
where the little boy was taken to a
hospital. Physicians said tonight that
they believe that he will live. They
found no broken bones and his injuries
are confined to his head. The nine
bodies later were brought to Blythe
vile. They are terrible mangled. The
head was severed from the body OF
Lawrence Oxford and had not been
found late tonight.

WILLIFORD BANK is
ROBBED OF $4,000

Sharp county officers are still search
ing for two men who, early last We'd
nesday morning, held up S. o. Norris,
cashier of the Sharp County Bank, at
Williford, bound and gagged him and
made off with $4,7OO of the banks
funds.
The cashier was found gagged and
with his hands and feet bound with
rope several hours later by his wife
and brother. who went to the bank in
search of him when he failed to re-
turn home.
Morris, who remained at the bank
at night to work on his books, said
he was summoned to the door by n
knock and when he opened the door,
was confronted by two masked men
who forced him at the point of a pistol
back into the bank After he had been
tied, the men gathered all the money in
sight and fed.
The stolen money was on the cash
ier's desk where Morris had finished
counting it and was ready to be put in
the safe.
Morris describes one of the robbers
as small and heavy set, weighing about
$50 pounds, and the other, tall and
weighing 1S0 pounds. Both were
dressed in new overalls and kid gloves
The bank carries insurance against
robberies and will not lose the money.
About four years ago, this bank was
robbed of S1,1OO by Lilburn Taylor,
young man who was reared in the
Taylor settlement several miles north
west Of Hardy, when he forced the
president of the bank into the vault
while he fled with the loot. The money
was recovered when Taylor was over
taken short distance from Williford.
Taylor served a term in the state pen
itentiary for the crime.

DEFEAT IMBODEN IN
LAST GAME OF SEASON

Pocahontas Hi closed the 1925 foot
ball season last Thursday by winning
from Sloan-Hendrix of Imboden by an
$50 score.
The visitors boasted team averag-
ing 1S0-pounds per man and it was
feared that in the slick mud which
covered the field they would have little
difficulty in pushing the lighter Poca
boys around at will. The game had
not been in progress five minutes, how
ever, until all fears of this nature were
dispelled. The fighting Poca team out
classed the big visitors for more than
the score would indicate. POca made
twenty-five first downs, while the visi-
tors made only three, one the result
of a 27-yard penalty against Poca.
Imboden made their only real threat
Of the game just after the kickoff
poca fumbled the kick and Imboden
recovered on Poca's 40-yard line. A
surprise pass netted eleven yards and
80 flabbergasted the Poca team that
Imboden tore off another first down ON
three line plays before our boys found
themselves. POca took the ball on a
tumble and began a march for the dis
tant goal Leon Brown and Joe Blank
enship carried the ball down the field
on straight football, one of Icons wide
end runs netting 30 yards. These two
carried the ball to the 7-yard line and
Tolton Lemmons SMASHED through the
line for the entire distance in one
down. Try for extra point was miss
ed.
ImbOden received the kickoff and
fumbled, Poca recovering on the I'm
