Through the groaning of injured and the shout ing of rescuers, the sirens of ambu- lonces could be heard as the police and the hospitals swung into action. Eight feet above the wreckage of the interurban cars the track vas twisted into zigzag pattern. The freight train on a parallel track had been derailed also and from two of it's cars there was a trickle of a four mingling with the mud and dyeing the ground a dirty white. Dismembcred Bodies Found
 Red flares and automobile head lights picked out the arms or legs of passengers who had been twisted or caught into the wreckage.
 Lee Paxton, of Chicago was riding with his tiancee, Miss Betty Shema, Chicago. The train, he said, was ! travelling about 60 miles an hour when suddenly there was a crash The car whirled dizzily into the ditch and when he looked for Miss Shema she vas gone.
 He groped through the darkness calling for her. "when the first ot the rescue parties arrived with the flares" he said, T looked about and saw her in the mud. Her foot was sticking up. She had been throWr through the window and part of the car rested on her"
 T tried to pull her free,' he said
 but l could not. Then they came and took me away"
 Later, he learned she had died.
