Death on a crossing saves occupants by engine backing
Three men escaped injury when a Great Western Switch locomotive struck their automobile at the Rock Island crossing on West Fourth Street. The car, driven by Mr Buster, slipped twenty feet on wet brick, then was saved as the engine came to a stop and struck the left front wheel, bending the axle and damaging the steering gear. The flagman was reportedly not visible in time to warn, but the crew and occupants recovered and dined together afterward.
