WO KILLED AIIO ' SEVERAL ARE BADLY INJURED IN WRECK Horrible . Accident Occurred At East City Limits of West Alexandria About 8 O'clock This morning.

(Continued from Page One.) All these men were caught between the two cars and crushed. Maper Not Blamed. No; blame. for the accident is given to . Motorman Charles Maper of the passenger car. The injured were rushed into the homes of 'nearby residents as soon as they could) be pried from the mass of splintered wreckage, and there in the temporary hospitals the three local physicians administered first aid. The first car from the east after the accident rushed, back to Dayton, carrying the injured, the dead being taken In charge by the local undertaker. .Albert Loy, aged 77, retired, who lived with his son-in-law, John Motter, whose home, is directly in front of the

scene or the wreck, was standing at the side of the freight car with his wife, when the swinging passenger car ' struck him' and crushed him to death against the freight car. He lived for I ylt an hour, but never recovered consciousness. Ilia wife was thrown to the ground but not injured. His Head Slit Open. Freight Motorman Guy Fuller, aged 82, of Church street, who was stand- , ihg at the rear end of his car, which was on a siding, watting for the passenger car to pull by. He was crushed between the two steel bulls. His head was split wide open. He lived for almost an hour, but never regained consciousness. Kerney Coleman, the passenger car conductor,' was standing on the rear step ; of his car, watching the switch, 'when the crash came. - Both his legs were smashed badly, his right leg so badly that it will be amputated above the knee. His legs were caught between the step of bis car, and the body, of the freight car. He was removed to; the Miami Valley Hospital Where his condition is critical. ; . ! Will Wilcox, a resident of this city, was standing at the rear of the freight car talking to Loy and Fuller', when the cars crashed together. He was seriously injured,' although, able to walk to the car which took him to Dayton for treatment. His left hand was lacuprated," a gash cut in his forehead, and he also sustained cuts in his right leg between the knee and hip. These gashes penetrated to the bone, but it Is not thought his leg will be amputated. Wilcox was the conductor of the freight car, ' and was standing ready to change the trolley

of his car when caught and crushed. He will recover. " , - Some of The Injured. Charles Van Dess, 435 West Ave., Dayton, O., a passenger of the car, suffered severe bruises of his right shoulder when thrown from his seat by the crash. His injuries are not serious. John Gable, of New Lebanon, a passenger, had started to rise from his seat when the crash threw several women passengers, who were standing, on him. Their weight threw him against the side of the seat and three ribs were broken. He was taken to Dayton for medical treatment. The following school children, who were on their way from their homes east of this city, to attend school, were injured, suffering slight cuts and bruises, when they were piled up in the wrecked car: Zana Wambold, Vergil Kem, Ruth Lehman, Alba Izor, Leroy Prugh, John Anderson, Vergil Smith, Plooma Urich, Mabel Cook, Ralph Zehrlng, JSarl Stockslager and Robert Snyder. The latter is a common school pupil, the remainder being high school pupils. They were examined at the school buildings by Dr. Carter, who sent them home to rest. No serious injuries were experienced by any of them. The terrible wreck, which plunged this town in mourning, occurred at eight o'clock. The streets were full of people on their way to their morning shopping, and enroute to work, when the wreck took place. The terrible shrieks and groans of the injured caused consternation. Residents of the homes nearby, pedestrians, and employes of the power house, a half block distant, rushed to the scene. Scene Horrible One.

The splintered rear end of the i

freight car, and rear end of the passenger car were wedged into a mass of bent steel and twisted rods. Under and in the wreckage were the torn and bleeding bodies of (he victims. Loy and Fuller were unconscious when pulled from the wreckage, and were rushed to homes nearby. They expired in a few moments. Wilcox and Coleman were under the cars and

were slightly protected by the mass of wreck being above them. They were both conscious, and suffering excruciating pain when the rescuers reached them. Tender hands lifted them, and bore them to homes nearby, and there the three local physicians, Drs. Cloyd, Harter and Carter, ministered to their injuries. Those inside the car rushed from their seats to the ground, where many women, hysterical from the shock and scene of death and desolation, were overcome, and taken to homes where they were given medical attention. The injured occupants of the car were placed in the temporary hospitals and sent to Dayton on the next- west bound car which reached this place. - ' Accident Unavoidable. The accident was plainly unavoidable, Motorman Charles Maper, of Dayton, O. had almost stopped his car, and was given the signal to go ahead by the conductor, who saw that the front trucks had safely passed over the switch, and were on the main line. Maper gave the car a little more speed, then the rear trucks climbed on the frosty rails and onto the south

bound switch, on which the freight car was standing. The crash followed before Maper could realize that his car had crushed the life out of two men. The saddest feature of the wreck was the death'of aged Albert Loy. He stepped from his home with his aged wife, to assist her on the car, which she intended to take to Eaton, Ohio. Standing at the end of the freight car. he was awaiting the passenger car's stop, to help his wife on the car. They were standing less than three feet apart when the car caught him, threw him into the embrace of the two steel juggernauts, and hurled her to the ground nearby. She is prostrated from the shock. Another Sad Affair. Another sad feature of the wreck was the killing of Guy Fuller, of Church street, this city. His wife expects to become a mother soon, and is in extremely delicate condition. It is feared that the news of her husband's death may kill her. When the wrecked cars were separated by the wrecking crew from Dayton, the cars were taken into the power house switch on which the 111 fated freight car had been standing, and the main tracks repaired. Then traffic was resumed. Curious sight-see-ers from Dayton and other points arrived by the car load. Officials of the traction company rushed to the scene, and after an examination would not give out a definite statement, except that they believed the wreck clearly unavoidable.
