Auto Bus Collides with Passenger Train.

( Sunday night Ed Kanne decided to make a call in the north part of the city while waiting for the arrival of passenger train No. 3. He drove the autobus across the tracks and, when a short distance away, heard ..the whistle of the approaching train, and decided to return and ■ let the call go until later. The train had come to a standstill and as he started to cross the track the engine slowly moved forward in order to take water, and caught the autobus squarely between the wheels and pushed it a short distance in front of it, slightly damaging the car, but injuring none of the occupants.
