The Fourth

The Fourth was everything that
could be desired, as far as the wealth
er was concerned, as the day was
IDEAL
In our town it was observed quiet
ly, until the late hours of night,
when all the pent up enthusiasm
seemed to burst forth in Center
Square, with surplus stock of noise
making fireworks being put off be-
fore the Natal Day passed.
The noise grew to such an extent
as to draw protest from sleep-dis-
turbed residents. The protests, how
ever, seemed only to add enthusiasm
to those who were instrumental in
creating the dim, as the explosions
continued until the stock of noise
making pieces was exhausted, when
quiet reigned again.

 Bus X Freight
 Train Collide
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 1 (P

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 1 (4) A fast freight train crashed in- 10 a loaded school bus near here killing twenty-six and seriously ,njuring at least dozen of the others. w. E. Sleakman, chief clerk for the Rio Grande West eun Railway said that he had counted twenty six dead bodies taken to mortuaries throughout the city.
 Attempts were made to locate relatives to assist in the identi- 4ications. Mrs. Sarah Bergstrom, business superintendent of the Salt Lake General Hospital said 7 she personally aided in the re- coyery of eighteen bodies and es- inmates that the number of per sons in the bus ranged from 40 to SO.
 The dead and injured were scattered along the right of way for a hundred feet. The acci- cent occurred at 8:56 am. at rural crossing about ten miles south of here. The bus was bound for Jordan High School
 The victims ranged in age from twelve to sixteen years, but the condition of the bodies and inc inaccessibility of the crossing made definite check of the casualties difficult.
 Tt was the awfullest thing I ever saw, none of them seemed 10 die right away, but one by one they stopped screaming" said David Wittier, aged twenty two, vino was riding on the oil tank near the engine He told the sheriff that a sleet storm had re- 'duced the visibility and had de- layed the schedule of the freight. The young man said that Engin- ger Reahrmir told him to stay on the right side of the cab. The bus was coming from the left. The fireman screamed at the engineer to stop. He said the freight train normally went about sixty miles an hour at that crossing.
 Tbe sheriff said that apparent ly the bus driver had stopped at the crossing then had started up again so that the engine hit it broadside bending the big bus around the front of it.
