VALLEY MERCHANTS APPEAL FOR
SETTLEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

The territorial government has
been an extensive buyer from
American merchants for many
years. Previous to the appointment
of Gov. Bernal in 1890 bills had
been paid promptly when presented
to the territorial treasury. Bernal
bought generously on the credit
of his predecessors, but left with
out settlement for the goods. Sue
ceeding administrations, on the
promise that the old Bernal &C
counts would be liquidated, obtain
ed additional credit until the total
amounted to a huge sum, accord
ing to the merchants signing the
letter.
The firms petitioning President
Cardenas for payment are Bills
Welding Shop, CaleXico; Calexico
Lumber company; Edgar Brothers
Hardware company; Valley Lum-
Der company; Edgar Brothers
Ford company; Imperial Valley
Hardware company; Western Auto
Supply company; and McCoy's
Printers, Calexico.

Victims at Michigan
Grade Crossing

DUNDEE, Mich, culy IL
G.N.S0.-The lives Of nine per
sons, including five children-all
riding in one automobile-were
snuffed out today when a rail.
road train crashed into their car
at Q grade crossing here.
The accident occurred at the
point where the railroad tracks
cross the highway and onto a 30.
foot trestle over the river basin.
The train struck the crowded
automobile, carried 1t onto the
treStle and smashed it against the
steel Orders.
Smashed On TreStle
The bodies Of two passengers
fell into the river while all others,
believed killed at the first impact,
and the wreckage of the automo-
bile we're scattered along the
tracks.
The dead, all Of whom have been
visiting at the home of Carl
SchuSter in Dundee since Thurs
day are
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry SchuSter, of
Farrell, Pa, and their two daugh-
tiers, Vine, 10 and Anna, IL.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam PiSana, also
of Farrell, and their three daugh-
tiers, Betty, 8; Mary, 6 and Sandra,
six months.
Mrs. Pisana and SchuSter were
brother and sister.
The PiSanaS and SchuSterS drove
here from Farrell several days ago
to bring Carl Schuster, brother Of
Harry, to his home here after he
had attended the funeral of his
niece, Mary SchuSter, il, Tuesday.
Fail to See Train
They had just left his home on
the return trip when the acct
dent occurred. SchuSter and
PiSana were in the front seat
with Mary Pisana on her fathers

were engroSSed in conversation
and that SchuSter at the wheel
did not see the train.
The crossing lights were work
ing, they said.
The passenger train, bound
from Toledo to Frankfort, Mich,
was not derailed and no one on
it was hurt.
The bodies were recovered
shortly after the crash by sher-
ifs deputies from Monroe and
the Dundee fire department.
Gasoline from the smashed car
spilled over the railway trestle
and the timberS Of the bridge
caught fire. The Dundee fire
departm ne mt extinguished the
flames after several hundred dol
