Big Four Wreck at Milford. A wreck most complete in its destruction occurred Monday evening at 7:00 o’clock on the Big Four railroad at Milford. Ten cars of a through fast freight which was running to make up lost time, jumped the track near the station and five of them plunged into the depot on the east side of the track tearing away the larger part of the operator’s office and making a clean sweep of the freight part of the building on the north end, the other four cars doing their work of destruction on the other side of the track where they plunged into the southeast corner of the Ogden grain elevator, making a complete wreck of more than half of the building and destroying many bushels of potatoes stored in the building. The wrecked cars were loaded with furniture, coal and tile. One or two oil tanks were in the wreck and for awhile oil flowed as freely as water to the depth of six or eight inches on the ground and many people came with buckets and helped themselves to the wasting product. The engine and tender broke loose from the train and escaped any damage. Only one person, Charles Caney, of Wabash, who was stealing a ride to Elkhart was injured, perhaps fatally. He was taken to the hotel unconscious and on Tuesday was sent to his home at Wabash. Agent Charles Shinebarger was away from the office for his supper and was only a short distance from the depot on his return after supper when the accident occurred. Several of the cars were smashed into kindling wood and up to Tuesday evening little had been done in clearing away the debris of the wreck. A temporary track was built to the east of the depot so that trains could pass. Cromwell. Frank Whitehead sports a new auto. Mrs. Geo. Juday was at Goshen Saturday.

Meeting of Lakeside Volunteers The Lakeside Volunteers of the Lakeside U. B. Sunday school held their first April meeting with Lawrence Gamble. The meeting was taken up with the discussion of the life of Saul, his persecution of the Christians, remarkable conversion and subsequent Christian ministry. A spelling contest consisting of the names of the Bible characters studied the past quarter helped to fix in the minds of the boys the lessons learned. The company then enjoyed a game of Adventures of Mr. Peter Coddle on his first trip to New York. Mrs. Gamble then served refreshments, after which Mr. Gamble favored the class with several selections on the violin which they pronounced “best of all,” and they adjourned to meet in two weeks with Clarence Bare.

Escapes Serious Accident. What might have been a very serious accident resulted only in Mr. George Bailey and Mrs. Sophia Rookstool being severely shaken up and badly frightened, when the mule team belonging to Mr. Bailey ran away Tuesday evening throwing the occupants out of the light wagon to which the mules were hitched. Mr. Bailey and son, Fred, had been to the Rookstool farm repairing a well and had just started home, accompanied by Mrs. Rookstool, when the team became frightened at an automobile driven dy S. C ( . Lepper and in attempting to turn around in the road the tongue was broken in two. After the frightened animals ran a short distance the part of the tongue remaining attached to the wagon ran into the ground throwing Mr. Bailey out on one side of the wagon and Mrs. Rookstool on the other and throwing the wagon on its side. The mules became detatched from the wagon and after running a little farther on stopped,. The accident was unavoidable. Mr. Bailey did not signal Mr. Lepper to stop as he had passed automobiles often and the team had never become frightened before. Lepper ran as near to one side of the road as he could and stopped his machine as soon as possible when he saw that the animals were going to scare. For Sale. One 6 year old family driving horse. Will also sell a buggy and set of harness. Inquire of Alonza O’Dell. Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Eldridne are packing their furniture this week.
