Several accidents were reported in one day. Ernest Gerke, a Pennsylvania railway lineman, touched a live five wire at the depot power house and received a severe shock, later taken home with burns and back injuries. William Phillips, a Pennsylvania section man from Etna Green, was struck by passenger train 38, thrown from the track with facial injuries but not fatal. Gates, a Columbia City lawyer, attempted to board a departing train at Fort Wayne, fell when a crossing water flooded the edge, but survived. The incidents reflect dangerous conditions at the railroad facilities and on the line.
