STAND AT
CURB, TOKEN Of
GRIM TRAGEDY
Police Guard Autos; Station
Is BedIam: Hospitals
Are Besieged.

Along the dark curbing of
Emerson Ave, at Washington St.,
eight automobiles stood unoccupied
early today, the cars in which, a
few hours before, happy persons
made their way to the truck that
carried sixteen to sudden death in
a crash with an interurban car. At
this point members of the Sahara
Grotto drill team congregated and
boarded a truck and trailer. AS the
vehicles were crossing interurban
tracks on N. Emerson Ave, a few
minutes later, they were struck by
an interurban. -
The autos parked along the curb
seemed the grimmest of grim re-
minderS of the fate that had be-
fallen their former occupants.
Police Patrol Block
Two policemen patroled the block,
keeping careful guard over the
autos, carefully questioning each
person who asserted ownership of
car or the cars of relatives.
For several hours following the
wreck, the police station was bed
lam of noise and confusion. Fran
tic relatives and friends of drill
team members besieged police for
information.
Corridcbs were crowded with citi-
zens and Offices were damned with
police and officials giving reports.
Lieut.. Fred Drinkut handled the
information desk.
Women with tears in their eyes
learned that some relative or close
friend had been killed. There was
no cutlery from their fear frightened
lips. They bore their grief stoically
and turned slowly to leave. Once
on the sidewalk in the chill air, they
stood numbly acquiescert to the

officers and members threw open
the Grotto headquarters in the
Consolidated Bldg. and established
an identification bureau in con-
neciton with the hospitals. The in
creasing story of grief coming over
the wires brought sad shaking of
heads as hopes of a small death list
vanished.
