TWO DEAD, TWO STRIKES AUTO

Wives of M. R. Brooks, of Lima, O., and C. H. Thoring, of St. Marys, O., Instantly Killed at 8:40 a. m. last Thursday----Loose Engine Strikes Car at Deadly Ashcraft Crossing---Party Had Been Touring West.

THE DEAD Mrs. M. R. Brooks, aged 46, Lima, Ohio. Head was j torn completely off the body. Body and upper torso horribly mangled. Death was instantaneous. Mrs. C. H. Thoring, aged 38, St. Marys Ohio. Face, head and body crushed and mangled almost beyond recognition. THE INJURED. M. R. Brooks, Lima, O., aged 52. Was driving the Speedwell car struck by loose engine. . . Skull fractured in middle of forehead. Face and head torn and bruised. Scalp torn. Chance for life and death about even, according to attending physician. C. H. Thoring, aged 45. Bruised and hurt. Escaped death by miracle. Did not loose consciousness, and crawled from wreck to witness scene. Rode in front seat with driver. Two lives were instantly snuffed out at the deadly Ashcraft crossing, one mile west of Etna Green and five miles east of Bourbon Thursday a. m. when a loose engine on the Pennsylvania railroad, running eastward, at the rate of about 35 miles an hour crashed into an automdbile containing the four above named people, who with another party in a car following, were enrourte to their homes in Lima and St. Marys Ohio, after a 7 weeks' tour of the western and central states. The party spent Wednesday night here, at the Ross House Hotel, while the automobiles were left at the Kuhn garage. The party in the second automobile, which followed a few hundred feet behind the car demolished in the collision was a Cadallac machine, driven by Richard Guyneay, a chauffeur from Lima and contained Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Calvin and Mrs Hallie R. Hoover, all of Lima, O. Misdirected, Take Wrong Road The Speedwell, a fine new car of the torpedo type, and the property of M. R. Brooks, who was driving, took the lead, as it had done all of the way in the trio to and from the west. The party reached here Wednesday night, coming from Chicago, and spent the night here. The start was made from Plymouth at 7:30 Thursday morning. At the local garage they were directed on the road east through Bourbon, Etna Green and Warsaw. Having reached Bourbon, the first car, inquired of a farmer cutting weeds along the side of the road, the direction to Etna Green. He told them to go east as far as the second road, then to turn to the right. The second road is an unused byroad, which leads to a number of farm houses, up and down a number of hills, and finally across the Pennsylvania tracks, at a point one mile west of Etna Green, then opens, upon a main road to that village. The party should have taken the third road beyond Bourbon, which is the main route to the little village. The unused road, with the railroad lying between two steep hills, was the trap which resulted in the death of Mrs. Brooks and also Mrs. Thoring, who were riding in the tonneau of the Speedwell car. Thoring told his version of the accident to a reporter of the Plymouth Tribune, at the hotel at Etna Green this morning. "Our party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks who owned the car, and my wife and myself. My wife was a sister to Mr. Brooks. After we had been directed to take the second road to the right out of Bourbon, soon after turning, we found ourselves on a rough, hilly road, full of sand, and ruts, and overgrown with weeds and bushes overhanging from both sides. We mistrusted that we were on the wrong road, but continued nevertheless, expecting to soon reach a better main road. We followed this winding semblance of a road for about three quarters of a mile, before we found ourselves upon the rail-

INJURED; TRAIN NEAR ETNA GREEN

road. The railroad was hardly visible until we were upon it. The high banks on each side of the road, and the fact that the railroad lay between and at the bottom of two hills, made it impossible to see the track. We proceeded down the hill at a moderate speed, which could not be increased because of the poorness of the road. We found ourselves upon the railroad. Over my right shoulder I saw the loose engine upon us. Every person in the car saw that engine. We saw the engine while we were upon the north track, but knew that we were doomed. Nothing could prevent the collision. Not a cry was uttered. The women who were riding in the tonneau, probably realized their fate, but were too paralized to cry out. The next I knew, I was aimlessly crawling from under the wrecked automobile, only to see the dead bodies of my wife and sister-in-law, and Mr. Brooks, whom I supposed also dead. I know that I shall carry that scene with me to my grave. Mrs. Brooks was almost torn to pieces. Her head was torn from her body, and was lying some distance from it. My wife was crushed into a mass of bleeding flesh and blood." The automobile which was struck on the south track, was hurled in a northeasterly direction, across the cattle guard and north track and deposited on its left side on the north side of the north track, a distance of 85 feet. The machine, which was a new car, was a complete wreck being smashed to a twisted mass of steel. The engine which struck the car, at once set off for medical help, but before it returned, the accommodation passenger train arrived, from the east and carried the party, including the dead and injured, back to Etna Green. Here local physicians took the people in charge. Think Car Escaped. The second automobile, carrying Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Calvin and Mrs. Hallie R. Hoover, with the chauffeur, followed the Brooks car, a few hundred feet, in order to escape the dust from the first machine. Mrs. Hoover talked to the Tribune reporter at the Etna Green hotel this morning and narrated her vision of the accident, which shows how a horrible accident dawns on the mind of its witnesses. We followed the Brooks party all of the way to and from Colorado, excepting Wednesday coming from Chicago, when our car, which is a Cadallac, had much tire trouble. We rode ahead yesterday. so that we could be taken care of, by the Brooks party. This morning, however, we resumed our regular mode, following the others. After we had taken the road which led to the track, about four miles east of Bourbon, we discussed among ourselves the poorness of the road, and considered that we must be lost. However we proceeded, following the Brooks car. Mr. Brooks drove his own car, and is a master at the wheel. He has recently retired from the garage business at Lima, selling his interest to his partner. We heard the locomotive rush by a hundred feet in front of us, and I remarked to Mrs. Calvin, that we had a lucky escape from being struck. We did not hear the crash of the engine striking the car. I think that wc must have been behind the hill, which leads down to the track and thus did not hear the collision. The first I saw, was a round black object lying in front of us on the track. The Brooks machine could not be seen, and my impression was, that it had passed beyond the hill on the other side of the track. The black object, I took to be a mail sack which had been dropped by a train. Suddenly a mass of debris was on all sides of us. "My" I exclaimed "the Pennsylvania must have had an awful wreck here, look at the wreckage"---Then, I saw. The horror of it, struck our party instantaneously. The smashed car lying beside the track, the crushed, bloody motionless figures of our friends, the terrible sight seemed like an awful dream. I brushed my hands before my eyes and looked

again. A figure crawled painfully from under the car. It was Mr. Thoring, and he was alive. We grew hopeful, perhaps the entire party would live. We rushed over to the horrible scene and beheld the pitiful remains of our friends. Hope sunk, and I cannot describe my feelings, excepting to say that, that tangled mass, with the torn bleeding bodies is before my eyes, and seems as though will remain there all of my life. Ship Bodies Tonight. The remains of Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Thoring will be shipped to their homes tonight, and will be accompanied by Mr. Thoring. Mr. Brooks will remain at the Etna Green hotel and will be attended by a trained nurse from Ft. Wayne. Both Mr. Thoring and Mr. Brooks are members of the Elks lodge and the Warsaw lodge was notified, and will arrange for Mr. Brooks' care. Mr. Brooks had not regained consciousness this afternoon. The attending physician says he has a chance for life as long as a blood clot does not form on his brain. The members of the second party were about to return to their home on the train, shipping their machine, but finally decided to run the machine home overland. They planned on reaching Lima O., by night, having only 110 miles to go today. Had Enjoyed Trip. The party of eight from Lima and St. Marys O., were just returning from spending seven weeks on a tour of the west and middle west. They left Colorado Springs, Colo., just one week ago Thursday on the return journey. The two parties were on a pleasure trip. Mr. Brooks had just sold his interest in the Brooks-Sax garage of Lima, to his partner, and Mr. Thoring had recently retired from the confectionary business, in which he had been engaged for many years in St. Marys. Mr. Calvin is a real estate dealer and banker of Lima. Mrs. Hallie Hoover, who completed their patty was a friend. Mrs. Thoring, one of the killed women, was a sister to Mr. Brooks, who was injured. The entire party was on a vacation tour. Their trip extended through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. The two parties separated at Kansas City, Mo., one proceeding into Nebraska and the other into Colorado, where relatives and friends were visited at different cities. The two cars met at Omaha City. Neb., one week ago today, and started for their homes together. The ladies of

the second car, said that the entire party had greatly enjoyed the trip, but were glad to see Indiana and Ohio lands looming before them and one had remarked that they would be glad when they got back into "God's country" where the roads were not all stones, and ruts and everything else which was unpleasant. Crossing Dangerous. The Ashcraft crossing where the hapless automobile party met such an accident Thursday morning, is a treacherous one. About two months ago a track walker, Earl Whitmire by name, was killed by being run down by a Pennsy train. Whitmire lived at Etna Green and was a well known resident. The road over that crossing is seldom used, because of the danger of the crossing, and the extreme poorness of that road. Had No Children Neither of the two women killed have any children. Their other relatives and friends reside at Lima and St. Marys, O., where the bodies will be taken for burial. Another Tragedy. Another tragedy was enacted in the little village of Etna Green this morning, when Chas. Slenter, aged 23 years died while waiting to be taken to a hospital at Ft. Wayne. Slenter resided north of Etna Green and was well known. His wife died six months ago and a daughter died two months ago. He has a son aged four years to survive. The case is a sad one in the extreme. Village Awe-Stricken. The little village was awe-

CLERK AT INQUEST

Probe of Pennsylvania Accident at Etna Green Shows Corporation in a Bad Light. Warsaw, Ind., Aug. 1.---When Coroner Keyser of Marshall county began the inquest as to the responsibility in the recent accident at Etna Green, in which Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Brooks of Lima O., and Mrs. C. H. Thoring of St. Marys, Ohio were killed when an engine on the Pennsylvania railroad struck their automobile, it was discovered that the coroner's clerk was an employe of the railroad company. One of the members of the automobile party, who escaped injury, became suspicious of the questions that were asked, he started an investigation and revealed the connection between the clerk and the company. He then absolutley refused to testify until anothen clerk was secured. It is quite evident that the testimony offered at the inquest that the engineer of the engine, which was running light, did not blow the whistle, it is said. The accident occurred at a deep cut and it is claimed that had the proper warning been given the tragedy might have been averted. Attended Buffalo Bill Show. Among those who attended the Buffalo Bill Show at South Bend were: George Jordon, Ed. Raymer and wife, Albertus and Marc Lauer, Maggie Neiswender, C. S.

A doulble wedding occurred in Plymouth Friday, a. m.,' which was rather out of the usual be cause of the relationship of the parties involved. 'Mrs. Mary Teeples and her daughter 'Ida M. Teqiles, became the 'wives of Oharles Davis and Charles W. Dare, respectively. The pecu liarity of tire double wedding was the fact that rJhc mother and daugther were married at the same time.

MANY BRIDGES ASKED FOR

BY TRUSTEES COMMISSIONERS ARE IN FAVOR OF REPLACING BROWNLEE STRUCTURE HERE Will Ask County Council to Appropriate Necessary Amount ---Townships Are High in Their Requests. The Marshall County Board of Commissioners, will ask the County Council to appropriate a sufficient sum to construct a steel bridge over Yellow river in Plymouth, to replace the old condemned Brownlee bridge. The city has long been without the use of this old wooden structure which has been closed to public traffic. A short time ago the city council petitioned the county commissioners to ask for an appropriation for a steel bridge to replace the old one. Tuesday the board voted in favor of asking for the appropriation. The board is of the opinion that if the interurban line crosses the Michigan street bridge in Plymouth that the present bridge will have to be replaced. It is their opinion to move the present Michigan street bridge to the Brownlee crossing and replace the Michigan street bridge with a concrete bridge of the entire width of Michigan street, of sufficient strength to accommodate thc passage of street cars. Trustees Report. The reports of the various township trustees, asking for bridges in their respective town- . ships, have been received by the board. A great amount of weeding out will be required, as the requests are all considered above reason. Polk township alone, asks for eighteen bridges, which would cost the county many thousands of dollars. Polk township asks for the bridges to span Pine Creek, and its contributaries. Awakens Memories. The annual reunion of the McDonald, Dickson, Logan, VoreU and Thompson families in Marshall county for 1910 was held on July 24, at the residence of Marshall Logan, near Harris Station. A1out 125 members of the five families assembled. The address was by Hon. Daniel McDonald, who took for his theme "Those Who Have Passed to the Beyond." Such family gatherings are full of interest. The cordiall greetings, the renewed acquaintanceships, the widening circle by birth or marriage, on .the one hand, make them joyous occasions; while on the other hand, the vacant places, the absent faces and the memory of voices that since the last meeting, have been forever silenced bring a tinge of sadness. Mr McDonald's theme was therefore most fitting. It is proper that amid the greetings of the living, there be memory of the dead and doubtless among those gathered on this occasion, there were hearts still yearning. For the touch of a vanished hand .And the sound of a voice that is still South Bend Times. Entertains for Friends. Miss Elizabeth Garvcr entertained a crowd of her girt friends, at her home on north Jefferson street Friday night m honor of her cousin Mass Marie Lineman of IJogansport, whO has been spending a Tew days here.
