A closed automobile ignored a halt signal at the Union Pacific west crossing. The car stopped too late to save its tender after a glancing contact with a switch engine. Passengers, including women and children, were in danger as the curtains were up. One child was dragged to safety by a man in the back seat. Drivers repeatedly risk crossings, a potential tragedy looms. The company extols safety and offers precautions, yet public risk persists. An ad promotes a Ford overhaul for 15.50, and a closing out sale offers furniture bargains. Also an wallpaper notice for Viggo Nelson and The Essig Stone.
