10 Children Killed
AS Fast Train Hits
BobsIed in Ohio
BY the Associated Press

ARCHBOLD, Ohio, Jan. So
thought the track was clear" Jesse
Wyse said today in explaining how
the New York Central's Chi
cagoan" passenger train smashed
his farm bobsled, killing 10 chill
dren of three neighbors and seri-
ously injuring two others, one OF
them his daughter.
Mr.. Wyse and his 13-year-old
son, John, whom the father be-
lieved "too young and inexperi-
enced' to take the tractor-drawn
sled out himself, were not hurt.
The boy leaped to safety from the
rear of the sled.
II just stiffened in my seat on
the tractor" the father said THE
train hit the sled, tore it loose from
the tractor and hurled it down the
tracks"
The bobsled was scattered for a
mile along the right-of way east of
this Northwestern Ohio town, %
miles southwest of Findlay. Two of
the victims were ground beneath
wheels of the train. No train pas
sengers were injured and the train
continued to Chicago after a
57-minute delay.
BY that time, witnesses said, snow
nearly had blotted out all evidence
of the tragedy which occurred at
1:30 pm. yesterday.
Mr.. Wyse planned originally to
take the youngsters -out Saturday,
but was unable to do so until yester-
day. His son John told State high
way patrolmen he begged to take
the sled out himself "but Dad said
I was too young and inexperienced"
Mr.. Wyse said he stopped at the
crossing and thought the tracks
were clear.
II started up the tractor again
and just as it was clearing the
tracks, saw the train bearing down
on the sled," he continued. TT was
horrible.
The dead were identified by Cor
oner H. M. Warner of Fulton
County as four children of Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence Grieser, Gayle, 13:
her twin, Charlene; Patricia, 8, and
Sharon, 6. Four children of Mr..
and Mrs. Raymond Grieser, DON
aid, 13; Marlin, II; Arlent, 10, and
Janet, 4, and two daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. Lyle Osborne, Jean, IL,
and Marjorie, 16.
Mr.. Wyse's daughter, Janice, Z,
and another daughter of the Law
renee Griesers, Shirley, 9, were
hospitalized at nearby Wauseon.
D. o. Scherer, Toledo, engineer of
the train, said he saw the sleigh
ride party, whistled frantically but
was unable TO stop in time. He
estimated his speed at 80 miles an
hour. Conductor r. L. Shook of
Elkhart, Ind, said two of the chill
dren leaped before the train struck.
Shirley, taken to a Wauseon Hos
pital with broken leg, described
the terrible moment of the
tragedy.
I'VE didn't see the train because
we we're having SO much fun," she
related. "All of a sudden we looked
there the train was, big
as everything and whistling like
mad.
IT was so scared I didn't know
what to do, SO I just sat there.
Janice Wyse and I were sitting
up front in the bobsled. The next
thing we both knew we were flying
right through the air"
Janice also was hospitalized here.
Both her legs we're broken.
