Mrs. Gruver’s shoulder side and knee were slightly hurt. The women, returning from a sick friend, were unaware of approaching trains due to obstructed view. Trainmen on top of a box car were identified as William Dunlap and M B Cooper. The auto and top light remained burning after the collision. Cedar Rapids Gazette report.
